Get ready, ice hockey fans! The German champions, Eisbaeren Berlin, have locked down their first new player for the upcoming season. This time, they're snatching none other than Markus Vikingstad from their fellow league rivals, the Fischtown Pinguins Bremerhaven. The Norwegian phenom has signed a three-year contract with the Spree's finest.
The 25-year-old Beaver, who also boasts German citizenship, won't run afoul of the league's foreign player limitations, making him an ideal addition to the team. A national team player, Vikingstad has been prepping for his third World Championship with Norway, and he’ll be moving to Berlin looking to solidify his spot in the league.
Since kicking off his career in 2016 with the Stavanger Oilers, Vikingstad has displayed his versatility and aggressive offensive playstyle as a left-handed center. Standing tall at 1.91 meters and weighing 93 kilograms, he's no stranger to shaking things up on the ice.
With four impressive seasons under his belt at Bremerhaven, Vikingstad has left his imprint on the PENNY DEL, accumulating an impressive 89 points (36 goals, 53 assists) in 219 games. This skillful new addition is sure to turn heads and boost Eisbaeren’s offensive lineup.
Just days after their triumphant championship celebrations, the Eisbaeren announced the contract extensions of several players. Jake Hildebrand and Jonas Stettmer will remain the duo between the pipes, while Adam Smith, Mitch Reinke, and Markus Niemelainen will continue donning the Eisbaeren jersey in the upcoming season. Top scorer Ty Ronning secured a new two-year deal, while Blaine Byron and Eric Hoerdler extended their contracts for one more season.
Throw on your Eisbaeren scarves, folks! Berlin's ice hockey roster is shaping up to be a force to be reckoned with, and we couldn't be more excited for the season ahead. Vikingstad's arrival in Berlin is just the tip of the iceberg, and we can't wait to see what the future holds for our favorite team!
