Team plays confident season without defeat

Head coach Toby Kordt’s team only came together two years ago and has now achieved its big goal in its second season. After a confident season without defeat, the Junior Devils had defeated the Spandau Bulldogs from Berlin in the first playoff on their own facility at Kroonhorst a week earlier and now made everything clear in Cologne for the coming season in the top German league.

There they will then meet teams from Düsseldorf, Berlin and Potsdam, among others. And the derby against the Hamburg Huskies should also be particularly exciting.
