Ice hockey fever in Deggendorf: DSC is off to a strong start to the league season!

Now things are getting serious for the ice hockey fans! Deggendorfer SC (DSC) is about to start the new Oberliga Süd season and the anticipation is great! On Friday, September 19, 2025, the Deggendorfers will meet the Höchstadt Alligators, followed by another game against the Selber Wölfe. These first games are not only crucial for the start of the season, but also promise a lot of excitement.

Coach Casey Fratkin is optimistic after two months in Deggendorf and gives the all-clear in this “loose tension” before the first game. The DSC has strengthened itself considerably for the new season; Ten new additions, including substitute goalie Sebastian Graf, who will now replace Alexander Rose, are intended to bring a breath of fresh air into the team. The preparation was promising with four wins in seven test matches, which gives hope for a successful start to the season. pnp.de reports on the positive developments at the DSC.

Höchststadt Alligators in preparation

The Höchstadt Alligators team didn't have it that easy in preparation. Due to stadium renovations, the team had to play their test matches in other stadiums. With only one win, against the Selber Wolves, the result was rather poor. The loss of top performers such as Klavs Planics and Jack Bloem will also be a challenge, so new additions Tyler Gron from Hanover, Dennis Swinnen from Herne and returnee Petr Gulda will have to step into the breach. Nico Zimmermann as the new goalkeeper and Luca Ganz as backup provide new impetus in the goal. The question remains whether the Alligators can compensate for the departures and do well in the first game against the DSC.

The Selber wolves are changing

It will be just as exciting for the Selber Wolves, who are starting the season with their new coach Felix Schütz and a total of 13 new additions. The focus is particularly on Max Gläßl, a former Deggendorf defender who now wears the “A” on his chest. Captain Richard Gelke is supported by import players like Chris Schutz and Erik Nemec, who recently scored 79 points for the Bietigheim Steelers. Even though Selb was still winless in preparation, the last test match against the Hannover Scorpions brought a ray of hope when the team went into overtime. The injury to defender Moritz Raab, who will be out for several months, hits the team hard. hoechstadtalligators.de provides a detailed overview of the teams’ challenges and changes.

All ice hockey fans can only hope that the new players quickly gain a foothold in both teams and inspire the audience with exciting games and great moments. The first games of the DSC will also be broadcast live on sprade.tv, which enables easy access to the important games.

We are excited to see how the teams will perform in the next few weeks and hope for passionate ice hockey with lots of exciting scenes!
