Deggendorf celebrates a landslide victory – Passau has to admit defeat in the derby!

An exciting day for ice hockey fans in Lower Bavaria! The ice hockey teams Deggendorfer SC and Passau Black Hawks were the focus of the region on Friday, November 29th, 2025 with emotional games in the Oberliga Süd.

Deggendorfer SC celebrated a clear 5-1 win in an impressive home game against the EV Lindau Islanders. In front of 1,491 enthusiastic spectators in the Hitzkopf Arena, coach Casey Fratkin's team prevailed with a strong performance. The goals for Deggendorf were scored by Dylan Jackson (12th minute), Dante Hahn (19th and 34th minute) and Ty Jackson (28th and 32nd minute). The only goal for the Islanders came in the 42nd minute by Nicolas Strodel. "That was a great game! The boys deserved the win," said Fratkin after the game. The contracts of coach Fratkin and sporting director Ibo Weißleder were also extended for another season, which indicates a successful collaboration.

Frustration at the Passau Black Hawks

In contrast to this is the current situation of the Passau Black Hawks, who suffered a narrow 4:5 defeat against the Tigers Bayreuth. The game was characterized by many intense actions and penalties. The goals for Passau were scored by Tjalf Deichmann (3rd minute), Andrew Schemberi (12th minute) and Michael Reich (39th and 47th minutes). Despite their fighting performance, they ultimately had to admit defeat and are currently in fourth place in the league.

But not everything is lost for the people of Passau. With a strong start to the season of four wins and just one defeat, they have their best record since being promoted back to the top league. Another plus point is the successful cooperation with EV Landshut, from which nine players benefit, which strengthens the team. The Black Hawks rely on a successful mix of young talent and experienced players. Top scorers like Zack Dybowski, Carter Popoff and Jakub Cizek contribute significantly to the successful season.

Outlook for the derby

The first derby of the new season against Deggendorfer SC is on Friday. After their last strong performance against the Starbulls Rosenheim, the Black Hawks want to take the momentum with them and win the duel. “We are motivated and have our sights firmly set on our goal,” commented a visibly optimistic coach. The game will be broadcast live on SpradeTV and should leave fans of both camps in high spirits.

Meanwhile, the Deggendorfers are fighting for their form despite a few injuries. Players like René Röthke, Curtis Leinweber, Leon Zitzer and the newly dropped Benedikt Schopper will be sorely missed, and the use of Lukas Miculka and Sascha Maul also remains questionable. Whether the team can compensate for the losses will be shown in the derby, which will undoubtedly be a highlight of the current season.

Fans can look forward to an intense and emotional game! The anticipation is great and the derby spirit is in the air. If you would like to get the latest information about the Black Hawks and their season, you can find it on the official website of the Passau Black Hawks.
