Matej Giesl is starting again: Eisbären-Regensburg relies on talent!
Hello, ice hockey fans! A fresh face in the Regensburg ice hockey landscape is Matej Giesl. The 21-year-old attacker is staying in Regensburg and has his sights set on getting started in the second year of his professional career. In the upcoming 2025/26 season he will be the ninth striker and the 18th officially confirmed player for the Eisbären. This reports Central Bavarian.
After a mixed first season in which Giesl was only able to complete 23 goalless appearances in the DEL 2 due to a broken jaw, expectations are now high. In the DNL youth season he scored an impressive 21 goals and 28 assists in 42 games. He now wants to develop this talent in a professional environment next season.
New opportunities on the ice
Matej Giesl can hardly wait to play in front of the Regensburg fans again. “The support from the fans is brilliant and motivating,” is how he sums up his anticipation. Coach Peter Flache, who already knows Giesl from the DNL, supports him and emphasizes his strengths: his physical presence and the speed he shows on the ice. Flache is optimistic about Giesl's developments.
In the past 2024/2025 season, the Eisbären Regensburg played in the DEL2, the second highest ice hockey league in Germany. Giesl's statistics from last year show that he only scored two points in 23 games - without a single goal. However, the youth seasons were significantly more successful. For example, Giesl scored an impressive 45 points in 38 games for EV Regensburg U20 in the 2022/2023 season.
Season preparation and outlook
With the new season in mind, Giesl has big goals. He assumes that he will perform significantly better both individually and in a team context. “I have a good knack for my performance,” he says optimistically. If Giesl can take advantage of his chances at goal, he could give the Eisbären offense a real boost.
The DEL2 enjoys a high status in Germany and is a springboard for players who want to promote themselves for higher league commitments. With his experience and his previous achievements, Giesl is well positioned to impress in this league. The next games will show whether he will achieve a breakthrough.
We are excited to see what happens next for Matej Giesl and look forward to the next ice hockey games in Regensburg. His development is closely followed by many ice hockey lovers. If he can transfer his form from the DNL to the professional camp, he could become an important player for the Eisbären.
