Dresden Ice Lions clinch a spot in the top tier with a dramatic winner in extra time
Dresden Ice Lions Secure Promotion to Germany's Top Ice Hockey League
The Dresden Ice Lions (Dresdner Eislöwen) have secured their promotion to Germany's top professional ice hockey league, the Deutsche Eishockey Liga (DEL), after a thrilling victory against Ravensburg Towerstars.
In a match that was decisive for the Dresden Ice Lions' promotion, Tomas Sykora scored the winning goal in overtime on April 29, just before 11 PM. The final score was 2:1, with Sykora's goal being the decisive and final score of the match.
The victory over Ravensburg Towerstars was a significant milestone for the Dresden Ice Lions, as it sealed their promotion to the 1st Bundesliga. The team and their fans celebrated the moment with a joyous frenzy, throwing their helmets and sticks in the air.
Meanwhile, the Düsseldorf EG will drop to the second league in the upcoming season. If Ravensburg had won against the Dresden Ice Lions, Düsseldorf would not have been relegated, as Ravensburg Towerstars did not apply for a license for the 1st Bundesliga for the 2022-2023 season.
The return to the 1st Bundesliga for the Dresden Ice Lions brings a new competitor to the league, which could potentially increase competition for league positions, impact revenues, and alter the dynamics of relegation battles. However, without explicit reference, no specific impact on Düsseldorfer EG from this promotion can be confirmed.
It's worth noting that the Düsseldorf EG has a history in the DEL, having won the title once in 1995–96. The Dresden Ice Lions' recent matches have been friendlies and second-tier games, with no direct league overlap or relegation/promotion indications impacting Düsseldorfer EG. There is no mention of relegation or any movement that might force Düsseldorfer EG to change leagues or competition structure due to Dresden's promotion.
As the 2022-2023 season approaches, both the Dresden Ice Lions and Düsseldorfer EG will be gearing up for their respective challenges. For Dresden, it's a chance to prove themselves in the top league, while Düsseldorf will be aiming to earn their way back to the DEL through the second league.
