The 14 clubs of the German Ice Hockey League will be open on Friday, 08.09.2009.to the 24th floor.Season.
Alphabetically listed, the following teams are represented in the DEL in the season 2017/18.
The best goal scorers will have a special duel.Patrick Reimer (34) from Nuremberg is three goals ahead of Munich’s master captain Michael Wolf (36) in the “eternal” ranking with 305 goals.
“Patrick will win at the end because he is a bit younger and has scored one or two more goals in recent years,”said Wolf.The focus is also on the long-standing NHL pros Christian Ehrhoff (Cologne) and Marcel Goc (Mannheim).
The mode is unchanged from the previous year: The 14 clubs play a double round (two home and away matches against each team) with a total of 52 games up to the 4th round.March 2018.
There are three points for a win after the regular time.In the event of a draw, there will be an extra time of three against three – just like last season.The first player to score a goal wins (“sudden death”); if no goal is scored, the penalty shootout wins.
The winner in the overtime or shootout will receive two, the loser one counter.
If there is a tie in the final table, the goal difference first counts, then the number of goals scored and finally the direct comparison.
The top ten teams in the table qualify for the playoffs – but there are differences depending on which place you land in.
There is currently no regulated sporting ascent and descent for ice hockey, a “promotion” from the DEL2 is only possible if a first division team loses or returns its licence.
This happened in 2016, when the Fischtown Penguins from Bremerhaven took the place of the Hamburg Freezers.
After an ice hockey world tour Felix Schütz returned to the DEL.The international was on ice in Canada, the USA, Russia, Latvia and Sweden, and now he wants to become German champion with Cologne.
Ten years ago, Devin Setoguchi was considered a great talent in the NHL.After a strong start to his career, the Canadian fell deeply – alcohol, depression, even more alcohol.After his withdrawal and a last attempt in the NHL, the 30-year-old wants to rediscover his love of ice hockey in Mannheim.
The DEL will introduce a new regulation in 2017 to prevent swallows: The swallow list!Repeat offenders are subject to successively increasing fines.
If the penalties do not have any effect on the player, a fine will be imposed on the head coach of the team from the sixth penalty onwards.
Since System, which recognizes and sanctions “unsportsmanlike behaviour in the form of swallows” or feigned injuries, is a further and important step towards fairness of the sport, DEL game manager Jörg von Ameln explains the sanctions.
The majority of the 14 clubs invested more than in the previous year.Behind the Krösus Munich with an estimated total budget of 12.5 million euros, five more clubs are planning eight-digit numbers: Mannheim (12.2), Cologne (11.5), Berlin (11.2), Nuremberg (10.4) and Ingolstadt (10.1).
Last year’s newcomer Bremerhaven (4.1) has the smallest budget.

Sport1 shows at least 40 games on Free TV.
