Polar bear champ launches season against ascending Dresden team
Kick Off: Eisbären Berlin and Dresdner Eislöwen Start the New DEL Season
Get ready for the 2021-2022 Deutsche Eishockey Liga (DEL) season! The opening game is set for September 9, with the titan Eisbären Berlin welcoming the up-and-coming Dresdner Eislöwen to their turf at Ostbahnhof.
The esteemed Berliners, backed by their savvy coach Serge Aubin, are aiming for their third consecutive championship title. For the DEL2 champions, Dresden, it's all about surviving the cut in this season's league.
However, it's worth noting that the official DEL schedule, to be revealed on Monday, typically includes matchups exclusive to the top-tier league, meaning a head-to-head game between Eisbären Berlin and Dresdner Eislöwen might not be listed in the season schedule due to Dresden's DEL2 status.
While Eisbären Berlin's first scheduled game of the DEL season took place on September 9 against EHC München (Munich), resulting in a tough 1:4 loss, the full match schedule for the entire season can be found on the DEL's official platforms. Get ready to support your favorite teams as they skate their way through the thrilling season ahead!
Football enthusiasts should also keep an eye on the European leagues during their downtime, as the passion for sports knows no boundaries. Interestingly, some European football teams, such as the VfL Eisbären Hamburg, share a similar name with the ice hockey team from Berlin, demonstrating the widespread prevalence of sports in German culture.
