The team has proven that despite some significant absences, like the Captain of the National Team and the Iptameni leading scorer the past years, Dimitris Kalyvas, Themistocles Lambridis, Jason Pachos, George Koulele and Panagiotis Iatridis and the trades of George Fiotakis and others, the team has depth and remains the best team in the Greek League. Despite the missing players it remains the best team of all time.

The Avantes goalie did not show up to the game, therefore the game was forfeited, 5-0 in favor of Iptameni.

After the first round, IPTAMENI Athens have 10 wins in 10 games with 124 Goals For and 13 Goals Against!

Despite the poor performance of the team, IPTAMENI managed to beat Madcows with 8:2.

One game before the end of the regular season, IPTAMENI are the leaders of the Southern Group having won all 9 of their first games.

Next game against AVANTES, who are not able to compete against IPTAMENI, therefore victory is certain.

They continue to win and continue to break records, beating Tarandos 17-1, a score that resembles a handball game more than a hockey game. With this win, they broke the previous record reaching 34 wins in 34 games and having scored 497 goals. Also, IPTAMENI has allowed 41 goals in 34 games, in average 1 goal per game!

IPTAMENI ATHENS: The greatest team of Greek Ice Hockey history of all times!

It’s great living when history is being made.

The IPTAMENI ATHENS are breaking one record after another.

With today’s victory over the Warriors, IPTAMENI reached 33 wins in 33 games! A record that will be hard to break for another team in Greek Ice Hockey. Also, with today’s 25 goals, the team reaches 479 goals in 33 games! (Around 14 goals per game). Another record that will be hard to break. As for the defensive abilities of the team, they have let in 40 goals in 33 games.

All of the above clearly shows that despite the many absences of key players, like the captain of Team Greece Dimitris Kalyvas, the team has depth and is remains the best team in the history of Greek Ice Hockey.

Dimitris Kalyvas has his 20 year anniversary today as player of IPTAMENI ATHENS!.. and many more to come!

The Athenian derby had it all, in a great game by both teams, probably the best game of the 2013 Greek League so far.
