Title: Eisbaeren Berlin Welcomes Newcomer Vikingstad for Upcoming Season
Hey there!
Get ready, hockey fans! The mighty Eisbaeren Berlin, German ice hockey champions, have picked up their first fresh talent for the upcoming season. Markus Vikingstad, a player from league rivals Fischtown Pinguins Bremerhaven, is bound for the Spree with a three-year contract, according to the club's recent announcement.
Born and raised in Norway, Vikingstad is a naturalized German citizen, making him a valuable addition to the team without increasing the foreign player quota. He started his DEL career in 2016 with the Stavanger Oilers, joining the national team that same year[1]. Since 2021, the center has been a staple on Bremerhaven's team, scoring 89 points (36 goals and 53 assists) in 219 DEL games[2][4].
Now, with Vikingstad on board, the Eisbaeren family is growing even larger!
Let's cheer as a few of the team's top players have extended their contracts, too. Goalkeepers Jake Hildebrand and Jonas Stettmer will continue their heroics between the pipes next season[3]. Adam Smith, Mitch Reinke, and Markus Niemelainen, all hard-hitting defenders, will be donning the Eisbaeren jersey once more.
Top scorer Ty Ronning has inked a new two-year deal, while Blaine Byron and Eric Hoerdler will stay on the roster for one more season[3]. With all these returning players, Eisbaeren Berlin is poised to defend their title with dedication and passion!
Stay tuned for more exciting updates as we gear up for another thrilling season of ice hockey!
