Both games in the German Ice Hockey League against the Fischtown Pinguins Bremerhaven have been cancelled. On Tuesday we continue with the catch-up game against Krefeld.
MANNHEIM – (kar). Only two games on Friday, three on Sunday, but seven cancellations – the effects of the corona pandemic are driving those responsible for the German Ice Hockey League (DEL) more and more worry lines on their foreheads. Once again, the Adler Mannheim were affected, whose weekend double pack against the Fischtown Pinguins Bremerhaven failed. Several North German players have tested positive for the corona virus; the authorities then sent the entire team into quarantine, which should last at least until Sunday.
It is not yet clear when the games against Bremerhaven will be played. The Adler already have two catch-up games: on March 7th in Ingolstadt and on March 23rd in Iserlohn. An appointment during the Olympic Winter Games (February 4th to 20th) is possible. Because of the many failures, the DEL has already put some catch-up encounters in the actually game-free time.
In the games against Bremerhaven, David Wolf could have gotten over his suspension. The Adler striker was banned for two games by the DEL Disciplinary Committee because of a check with the stick in the game on Wednesday in Straubing. Wolf is now out on Tuesday (25th, 8:30 p.m.) in the home game against the Krefeld Pinguine and on Friday (28th) at the Nürnberg Ice Tigers.
