On Tuesday (7.30 p.m.) the Kölner Haie start the DEL playoff quarter-final series at the Adlern Mannheim.
It is already clear: A possible 6th game in the “Best-of-Seven” mode would not take place in Cologne on March 26 (time open). The KEC is threatened with a move to Krefeld.
The reason is an appointment problem: the arena in Deutz is open on March 26th. is already booked with another event that has to be rescheduled due to Corona.
What does the KEC say?
Haie boss Philipp Walter: “We are convinced that we have found the best solution under the special circumstances, even if a bitter aftertaste remains. We will do everything we can to ensure that the game – should it take place – goes well in terms of organization.”
Arena boss Stefan Loecher: “We are all very well aware of how drastic the situation is for the fans, but relocating this game is the only option with which the playoffs can be mapped.”
