Ex-coach Teufel criticizes shocking separation at the EC Pfaffenhofen!

Pfaffenhofen an der Ilm, Deutschland - The ice hockey Bavaria League EC Pfaffenhofen is facing a change. After a disappointing season and the sporting descent, the club of coach Stefan Teufel broke up. This decision was made bluntly after department head Robert Huber blunted that the team needed a new impulse. Teufel, who trained the team in recent years, commented on the separation and gave insights into the reasons for the sporting misery.

"It is not the separation itself that disappointed me, but that I can no longer work with the team," explained Teufel. According to him, the situation within the team and the cabin was problematic. After his vacation, he hadn't heard of the club for over seven weeks, which was particularly surprising. At the same time, he saw the loss of performance as a result of injuries to important players and an overload of the young talents. "In the last two seasons, we avoided relegation," continued Teufel. The commitment of his team and the coaching team would not have been missing.

bad end for the season

And the season ended with a truly bitter aftertaste. In the decisive game of the relegation round, EC Pfaffenhofen lost 3: 5 against ESC Geretsried and ended up in third place in Group B, which meant starting the play-downs. These start with a duel against EA Schongau next Friday. After the first third break, Pfaffenhofen was already 3: 1 behind what coach Teufel was the main reason for the defeat.

The spectators in the sports facility were disappointed. Although the club was able to count on support among the 639 fans, they were frustrated after the weak initial phase. A decisive goal in the last third was scored by a former second division player, which only strengthens Teufel's worries about the squad strength.

The necessary budget for the ascent

In his analysis, Teufel emphasized that a budget of 600,000 euros was necessary in order to be able to play seriously to play the play-offs in the future game operations of the Bayernliga. Despite these challenges, he already has an interest in further obligations, especially in defensive strength, e.g. B. David Hrazdira, which failed due to the current environment in the club.

Teufel's search for a new challenge could be a little more difficult, since the late message from the EC Pfaffenhofen about the separation makes it difficult for him to find a new position directly.

A look into the future

Topics such as injuries, personnel bottlenecks and financial challenges are not new in ice hockey, although the mental aspect is increasingly becoming the focus. Studies show that the human component can be crucial for the success of a team, as can access to experienced sports psychologists and mental trainers. These developments are particularly relevant to make the team fit for the next challenges, with other teams, such as Frölunda, already experiment with them.

The upcoming play-downs will show whether the EC Pfaffenhofen can still get the curve and whether the realignment will bear fruit with a new trainer.

In order to optimally prepare the team for the upcoming challenges, it remains to be hoped that mental support in the form of experts, as successfully established in other clubs, will also get weight in Pfaffenhofen.
