Ice Hockey Phenom Markus Vikingstad Trades Penguins for Berlin Bears
Hey there, hockey enthusiasts!
We've got some thrilling news to share: German ice hockey titans Eisbaeren Berlin have bagged their first fresh face for next season! This Norwegian-German star, Markus Vikingstad, is bidding farewell to his previous team, the Fischtown Pinguins Bremerhaven, and setting sail for the heart of the action – the Spree in Berlin. The 25-year-old has inked a three-year deal with the team and, given his German citizenship, he's all set to register without a hitch, since he doesn't count towards the foreign player quota.
A regular on his national team's roster, Vikingstad kicked off his pro ice hockey career back in 2016 with the Stavanger Oilers in Norway's top league. Since migrating to the DEL in 2021, he's landed a solid spot with the center position for Bremerhaven, contributing 89 points (36 goals, 53 assists) across 219 DEL matches.
Berlin expects big things from this ace player!
After their victorious championship run, Eisbaeren Berlin revealed the contract renewals of several players. Among them are goalkeepers Jake Hildebrand and Jonas Stettmer, alongside defenders Adam Smith, Mitch Reinke, and Markus Niemelainen – all of whom will proudly wear the Eisbaeren jersey next season. Top scorer Ty Ronning locked down a new two-year deal, while Blaine Byron and Eric Hoerdler extended their contracts for another season.
That's all for now, folks! Stay tuned for more updates on the roller coaster ride that is the Deutsche Eishockey Liga. And remember, the hockey season never really ends – it's just a little chilly before the next big game!
