A look back at the season and the changes

The new challenges are the focus this year as the Eisbären Regensburg opened the DEL 2 season. The starting signal was given on September 13th with the home game against EV Landshut. But all the action really begins now. There will even be an official championship ceremony before the derby, during which the championship banner will be pulled under the hall roof. So if you come on time, you should be seated by 7:45 p.m. at the latest so as not to miss anything. The event is supplemented by a video preview with defender Patrick Demetz on the Eisbären's YouTube channel, perfect for anyone who wants to prepare optimally.

As far as tactical preparations are concerned, EV Landshut reorganized its squad in the summer. In addition to departures, there were also high-profile newcomers, including Tor Immo and Jack Olin Doremus. Nick Pageau remains with the team as one of the captains and offensive defenders and will try to lead the team. There are also similar changes at ESV Kaufbeuren, next Sunday's opponents, as they have tried to strengthen the squad with fresh talents such as Přemysl Svoboda and Nolan Yaremko.
