Dolomitencup: The Eisbären Berlin want to break their taboo

There is no doubt about it: The Eisbären Berlin have been among the crème de la crème in Germany's elite ice hockey league for years. On the one hand, when it comes to sport: the Berliners have won the DEL eight times since 2005, with their most recent success dating back to the previous year. On the other hand, the Eisbären also have a fan culture that many clubs not only in Germany but throughout Europe look up to with envy. The home games in the Mercedes-Benz Arena are among the most attended ice hockey events in Europe; before Corona, an average of 12.000 fans per match made the pilgrimage to the pompous ice palace in the heart of Berlin. This year, the DEL record champions welcomed an average of almost 5300 fans into their own hall despite restrictions. Because Berlin always offers top ice hockey. The Eisbären were able to confidently win the basic round of the DEL, which is why the team led by successful coach Serge Aubin will go into the playoff quarter-finals from Sunday from pole position. Against whom is still an open question. Possible opponents are the Nuremberg Ice Tigers, the Düsseldorfer EG or the Kölner Haie. But of course, anyone who has exceptional talent like goal machine Matt White, top German star Marcel Noebels, national goalkeeper Mathias Niederberger or a number of players with NHL experience like Frans Nielsen (almost 1000 NHL games) in their ranks automatically has a claim to the title . Will the knot break this year? The Eisbären Berlin also want to win a title next August. Then the club from the German capital will make a new attempt to win the prestigious Dolomite Cup trophy in tranquil Neumarkt. In 2019, the Berliners celebrated their premiere in the south of South Tyrol, but had to be content with fourth and last place. Last year the Eisbären secured the bronze medal. Does the knot burst on the third attempt? Two well-known clubs, EHC Biel-Bienne (NLA) and league rival Augsburg (DEL), have already confirmed their participation. The fourth participant will be announced in the coming days.
