Defend championship: Berlin polar bears celebrate eleventh titles

The polar bears won the fourth victory and thus crowned German champions again. There was a victory in front of a home backdrop.

Master walk for the Eisbären Berlin: More or less without resistance to the Cologne Haie, the outstanding German ice hockey team grabbed the title for the eleventh time this millennium. Against the sharks that are not competitive in the final series, the third in the best-of-Seven series was achieved with the third 7: 0 (4: 0, 2: 0, 1: 0). Already in the two previous games, the sharks had been exhausted with 0: 7.

The team of coach Serge Aubin is on the best way to a new success era with the fourth title within five years. Already between 2005 and 2013 the Berliners had become seven times German champions. In the table of the German ice hockey champions, the polar bears moved past the SC Riessersee (10) in third place behind the Berlin skate club (19) and the EV Füssen (16).

Zach Boychuk (3rd minute/30th), Gabriel Fontaine (4th), DEL top scorer Ty Ronning (8th), national striker Marcel Noebels (12th), Yannick Veilleux (24th) and the Cologne-born Frederik Tiffels (54.) scored the goals for the old and new champions. The fans in the Uber Arena filled with 14,200 spectators celebrated a huge master party. However, they also intended for the polar bear professional Tobias Eder, who died in January.

With all the dominance and efficiency of Berlin: The performance of the sharks in its first final series for eleven years was unworthy of a DEL master decision. Rarely before, a final series in the elite league was so one -sided: 27: 3 goals showed the addition of all five final games (4: 1 victories) at the end.

“Our last games were not final. Today the whole team is asked. We want to show everyone that we have not yet given up,” said national striker Justin Schütz, who is moving to the Adler Mannheim for the coming season, to magentate before the game.

There was not even an announced attempt. After 191 seconds, Cologne’s Finnish star coach Kari Jalons took a break and goalkeeper Julius Hudacek from the ice. For him, Tobias Ancicka came between the posts. The polar bears had already scored two goals within 19 seconds. Haie center striker Gregor Macleod had unhappily played the first goal from Boychuk.
