The Turning Point
Arosa's first-period blitzkrieg decided this game. After an emotionally and physically draining 2-6 loss to National League powerhouse HC Davos just 24 hours earlier — a match where Arosa led 2-1 through 40 minutes before running out of steam — there was a risk of a flat performance. Instead, three goals in the opening period from Woodtli, Orlov and Jabola Prada killed any notion of an upset before the game was 20 minutes old.
Key Performers
Keanu Woodtli: Scored Arosa's opening goal, setting the tone in the first period.
Maxime Orlov: Made it 2-0 with Arosa's second strike in the first-period barrage.
Jeremy Jabola Prada: Completed the first-period hat-trick of goalscorers, putting Arosa 3-0 up.
Jakub Wieczorek: The Polish netminder started in goal for Arosa (as he did against Davos) and backstopped the win.
The three first-period goalscorers shared the spotlight as Arosa's most impactful players on the night.
By the Numbers — Interpreted
Arosa conceded five goals in the final period against Davos on Friday as fatigue set in after four weeks of intensive training with daily on-ice sessions of up to three hours. Against Oberthurgau — a MyHockey League (third-tier) side — the defensive structure held firm: just one goal conceded across 60 minutes and no third-period collapse. The period-by-period flow (3-0, 1-1, 1-0) tells a story of early decisiveness followed by controlled game management, a clear step forward from Friday's encouraging-but-flawed display.
What It Means
Arosa's pre-season record now stands at one win and one loss from two friendlies. They continue their preparation for the 2026-27 Sky Swiss League season, with their next friendly scheduled against EHC Basel on 22 August. Oberthurgau, preparing for the MyHockey League season, split their two pre-season openers — beating SC Herisau 4-2 on 11 August before this loss — and continue their schedule against EHC Wetzikon on 27 August.
Verdict
A straightforward pre-season win built on an emphatic first period. For Arosa, the response after Friday's late collapse against Davos was the most telling takeaway — this side can manage a game when it gets ahead. Oberthurgau were outclassed in the opening frame but competed respectably thereafter.
