Dramatic ice hockey weekend: lions fight sharks and penguins!

Dramatic ice hockey weekend: lions fight sharks and penguins!

On Friday, October 24th, 2025, the Lions Frankfurt face an important challenge in the PENNY DEL. At 7:30 p.m. they will meet the Fischtown Pinguins Bremerhaven in the NIX ice rink. The pressure on the Lions is great after they recently lost 3:5 against the Augsburg Panthers. A defeat against Bremerhaven could have a lasting impact on the team's morale, especially since the Pinguins won both matches last season.

The Lions, currently in mid-table, need a win to move in the right direction again. Above all, offensive players like Linus Fröberg and Cameron Brace are in demand to help the team regain its former strength after the recent defeat. Fröberg has contributed 1 goal and 8 assists so far, while Brace has 6 goals and 2 assists.

Details about the opponents

However, the Penguins currently have some strong players. Ziga Jeglič, Jan Urbas and Miha Verlič have already scored 11 goals together and could pose major challenges for the Lions. Bremerhaven are also well positioned in goal with the two goalies Kristers Gudļevskis and Leon Hungerecker, who have a total catch rate of over 90 percent.

In the following game on Sunday, October 26th, Frankfurt will play in the Lanxess Arena against the Kölner Haie, who recently attracted attention with an impressive 7-4 win. However, the Haie have made changes in the goalkeeper position as Felix Brückmann is out. Janne Juvonen and Tobias Ancicka are now available, which could still bring uncertainty.

Fan survey and further developments

In order to further invigorate the mood in ice hockey, Ice Hockey NEWS is conducting a fan survey for the 2025/26 season. Among other things, questions will be asked about who could become champions and how the newly promoted Dresden Ice Lions are doing. The results of this survey will be published in the DEL season magazine, which will be available from August 29th. There is also personnel news from the league; Ice Pirates Crimmitschau defender Mario Scalzo will be out for two weeks with a foot injury.

It remains exciting to see whether the Lions from Frankfurt can overturn the problem and whether they can finally score again against the Penguins and Haie. The disappointment over the past defeat is great, but things can happen quickly in ice hockey. The games will be broadcast live on MagentaSport, so fans don't have to miss a second of the action.

The weekend games promise to be a real ice hockey highlight. For the Lions it will be about keeping their nerve and growing together as a team to guarantee a successful season.
