Dismaying Event: Captain Wissmann, known for his work with polar bears, has been missing for an extended period

Polar bear captain Wissmann has been absent for an extended period of time, sustaining a severe injury.

In a setback for the ice hockey team Eisbären Berlin, their captain Kai Wissmann will be out of action for several months. Wissmann, a vital defenceman and leader in the Deutsche Eishockey Liga (DEL), recently underwent surgery to address an injury to his Achilles tendon sustained during training.

The team's sports director, Stéphane Richer, has expressed that Wissmann's injury is a significant blow, not only to the player personally but also to the team. This unfortunate turn of events comes as Eisbären Berlin aims to win their third consecutive championship in the upcoming season.

Despite the absence of their captain, the team is determined to provide Wissmann with all the support and time he needs to make a full recovery. It is worth noting that, as of the latest information, there is no publicly available record indicating a significant injury to Kai Wissmann during the 2021-2022 season that notably affected the team's performance or recovery timeline.

Kai Wissmann recently extended his contract with Eisbären Berlin, committing to the team until 2028. The team had only recently started their preparations for the upcoming season, and it remains to be seen how they will adapt without their influential leader on the ice.

For the most accurate and up-to-date information, fans are encouraged to check official team announcements, DEL injury reports, or direct news sources close to the team. If required, I can help summarise the team's overall performance or key moments during that season as well.
