Champion of the Nation, Nobel, Has Been AWOL for Several Weeks
In the ongoing season, the Berlin Polar Bears have been dealt a significant blow with the absence of their top scorer, Marcel Noebels. The 33-year-old German ice hockey champion suffered a knee injury during a game against the Cologne Sharks, leaving the team without a key player for several weeks.
Noebels, who has been a regular in the German national team, has scored two goals for the Berlin Polar Bears this season. He made a strong start to the campaign, scoring a goal in each of the team's first two games. However, his injury during the course of the season has put a halt to his impressive form.
The injury occurred during the game against the Cologne Sharks, a game that the Polar Bears were hoping to win to boost their chances in the league. The exact date when Noebels will return to the field for the Berlin Polar Bears is not yet known, but the team will undoubtedly miss his goal-scoring prowess in the coming weeks.
The absence of Noebels is not the only injury concern for the Berlin Polar Bears, as captain Kai Wissmann has also been sidelined due to an injury. This leaves the team short-handed, especially as the Winter Olympics in Italy draw closer. The games are scheduled to take place from February 6 to February 22, 2026, and the Polar Bears will be hoping to have their key players fit and ready for the tournament.
In the meantime, the Berlin Polar Bears will have to rely on their depth and the ability of their other players to step up and fill the void left by Noebels. It will be a tough challenge, but the team will be determined to keep their season on track and secure a strong finish in the league.
