【High1 Head Coach Kim Hee-woo’s postgame comment】
I did not expect the team’s system, because our foreign players have joined 2 days ago. Fortunately, our teamwork had grown better period by period. Our first target is to join the playoffs.

The Korean derby featured the return of Song Dong-Hwan to Halla from 2 year mandatory military service with 1G+1A.
Japanese-Canadian veteran (doesn’t count against import restrictions with his Japanese passport) also played well for High1 with 1G+1A as well.
The two players (re-)joining the Korean squads this season started off the preseason well.
In day 2 action one of the games ended with China Sharks 1 – 5 Oji Eagles in a battle between last season’s bottom dwellers and champions. Don’t have any more details, but the Sharks were losing by double digits last season, so this may be a promising start.
