A story that has unfortunately been revamped for years now: Pistoia Hockey Club has nowhere to play. The outfield issue was resolved in 2019, with the Orange players who, after several seasons of forced migration, found a home in a renovated multi-purpose facility in Montanayana (with the benefits under everyone’s eye, given that the team is number one in the A2 series) , the problem of indoor spaces, a specialty practiced in the winter, remained unresolved. Thus, with the start of the tournament around the corner, the club cannot host matches and coach Filippo Trino does not even know where to train his children.

“We live in a real paradox – he attacks – we are the only unbeaten team between the two Prato specialist groups, yet we don’t have the proper facility to be able to train, let alone organize a home focus for the first tournament on its program on December 5 (opponents Ht Bologna). and Potenza Picena and Messina, editor) and there are no solutions on the table.”

Logica would like HC to find a place in the revamped skateboarding road in Valdibrana, but there doesn’t seem to be any availability to host the oranges, while Fornaci remains closed for business.

“We will have to break out of the ordinary and maybe go out of the province to honor the second division championship – as the coach says – we were aiming to perform well with an accessory goal, but in these circumstances we face a certain failure. It is true that the C team is there, but in practice we are talking For two different sports. For the interior, it will be necessary to prepare in a targeted manner from every point of view, which is impossible for us at the moment.”

Pending developments, coach Pistoia can at least console himself with the sparks that appeared in the first part of the season on the lawn: “This year we were able to plan more precisely with targeted purchases to coordinate the kind of game we wanted to express” .
