Kassel Huskies celebrate a clear 4-1 home win against Weiden at Christmas!

The Kassel Huskies not only remain in a festive mood over the Christmas weekend, but also deliver a strong performance. In the home game against the Blue Devils from Weiden, the Huskies won 4-1 and thus consolidated their place in the DEL2. In front of 4,292 enthusiastic spectators, the Huskies showed that they are currently very popular.

The game was exciting from the start. Kassel pressed and had their chances right from the start when Yannik Valenti hit the post. Traditionally, the first goal of the game came in the 27th minute. Valenti, who proved himself to be a sniper, made it 1-0. Bode Wilde then increased the score to 2-0 after a margin shot. But the guests from Weiden also had their moments and defended themselves against the impending fate. When the Huskies were outnumbered for the first time, they were even able to gain a slight advantage.

Intense game with video evidence

The encounter was not only characterized by spectacular Taiwecr moments, but also by the video evidence factor. Marco Müller von Weiden received a game-time penalty after a controversial decision, and Neal and Noah Samanski also had to leave the ice due to fouls. Kassel took advantage of their superiority and Darren Mieszkowski scored in the 43rd minute to make it 3-0. Hunter Garlent, who will also play for the Huskies next season, put the final point with his goal to make it 4-1.

The DEL2, which is on the rise again, is very balanced this season. Teams like the Kassel Huskies, who became champions in 2016 and have been the successor to the 2nd Ice Hockey Bundesliga since 2014, are fighting for the top places. The ice hockey game operating company (ESBG) has established itself as a stable framework, even if challenges such as promotion and relegation regulations have arisen between the leagues. The Huskies appear to be on the right track to be at the top again.

The next steps

After this clear victory, the coach's team can now turn their attention to the next games. The coming period will determine whether the Huskies can consolidate their place. The ice hockey community is eagerly awaiting how the league will develop, especially after the DEL2 clubs have been formal members of the DEB since 2015. A promotion to the DEL could soon become realistic if the Huskies' performance remains consistent. The tension remains high, both in the DEL2 and among the Kassel Huskies fans.
