After two wins, EC Bad Nauheim has personnel decisions and the fight for the pre-playoff places in mind.
Bad Nauheim celebrates a double victory – what does that mean for the future?
There are currently some exciting developments at EC Bad Nauheim in the German Ice Hockey League 2. The team has noticeably recovered after a bumpy start to the season and was able to come up with two impressive victories last weekend: a 5-0 against ESV Kaufbeuren and a 2-0 at EHC Freiburg. These two successful games came without conceding a goal, which significantly increased the team's motivation and self-confidence, as coach Peter Russell emphasized. EC Bad Nauheim is currently in 11th place in the table, but is only one point behind the pre-playoff position tenth.
Important personnel decisions now need to be made internally. Particular attention is being paid to the assistant coach position, as Marc Vorderbrüggen has been out for weeks due to illness. In addition, there are considerations to rejuvenate the squad through possible departures and thus promote competition. A bright spot in recent games has been Jerry Kuhn, who recorded his first two shutouts of the season this weekend.
Critical games and upcoming challenges
With these recent successes, EC Bad Nauheim seems to be on the right track. Justin MacPherson, the team's top scorer with 13 points from 14 games, also has the most ice time in the league. Nevertheless, effectiveness in over- and under-numbering remains a weak point that needs to be addressed. His absence is particularly noticeable in the build-up play, which causes Russell a degree of concern. At the same time, Garret Pruden will soon be a father, which could give the team additional positive energy.
The DEL2 will take a break in the first half of November due to the Germany Cup, giving the players the opportunity to recover and work on their fitness. Justin MacPherson has already retreated to Nice to recharge his batteries. Meanwhile, Peter Russell is in charge of the British national team at the Four Nations Tournament in Poland and is supported by Jerry Kuhn. This could also have a lasting impact on the perspectives of the two coaches.
A look beyond the runners
As the hockey world continues to turn, it's worth taking a quick look at the world of entertainment. Remember “Tom and Jerry”, a classic animated series that has thrilled generations. Jerry Mouse, the clever and clever protagonist, originated in 1940 and is still very popular today. In every episode he drives his counterpart, the cat Tom, to despair with his cunning behavior. His charming nature and countless adventures make him an unforgettable character in pop culture.
So while EC Bad Nauheim fights for the points on the ice, the question remains how they will overcome the challenges ahead. The coming weeks promise to be exciting!
