Herford squad strength in Diez-Limburg and against Hanover still uncertain
Reading time: approx. 1 minute
The games against die counts teams on the play-downs were in the past always as six-point games and so also die encounters at EG Diez-Limburg on these important duels. The long-term rival of the last few years would like to gain access to the pre-play-off places and so the game is of particular importance for the EGDL. The East Westphalia, however, plague installation concerns. After the hard-fought 3: 4 defeat in Herne, another player, Rustams Begovs, joined the still suspended Philipp Brinkmann (match penalty against Hamburg on Friday). Head coach Michael Bielefeld also received a game misconduct penalty in Herne and will therefore not be able to support his team in the usual way. In addition, there are even bigger question marks behind the missions of Björn Bombis, Gleb Berezovskij Quirin Stocker, who have recently been sidelined due to injuries as well. The HEV WILL therefore have to travel to the Rockets with a short bench and try to build on an outstanding performance in Herne, when many failures are also compensated for by the famous and notorious OWL combat force. Herford won the first leg in October just 4: 3 in a very close duel and this time too, an open encounter can be assumed.
The Herford ice hockey arena is eagerly awaiting the special “Christmas Game” on Christmas Day. At midnight it is very atmospheric in the ice rink “Im Kleine Felde” when the Hanover Indian give their business card. The Indians are in the middle of the battle for the play-off places and are currently sixth. The Hanoverians need every point to continue to assert themselves among the top teams in the league. Herford, on the other hand, has the opportunity to work their way up to the front table places with a victory and so hope a man at the Ice Dragons that.
