The spectators in the home ice rink were thrilled and gave free rein to their joy as the players repeatedly came dangerously in front of the opponent's goal with clever combinations and quick play. Calf reports that the Eisbären were able to set the pace, especially in the first half, which ultimately resulted in a comfortable lead.
The decisive plays
The game was characterized by a strong team spirit. The Eisbären showed a good hand, especially in the power play, where they repeatedly overcame the Ice Dragons' defense.

It remains to be seen how the team will perform in the coming month, especially since they will have to play against strong opponents three times. The ice hockey scene in Cologne is excited and is following developments with great interest.
Smell and taste in sport?
Speaking of interesting things: While ice hockey games are often characterized by adrenaline and emotions, there are also topics outside the field that cannot be neglected. For example, the loss of the sense of smell, known medically as anosmia, is particularly important at this time. This can be triggered by various factors such as colds or even COVID-19. TuaSaude.com informs that anosmia can affect not only the sense of smell but also the sense of taste. Especially in an environment like ours, where good food is often combined with exercise and socializing, it is important to keep such health issues in mind.
The interaction between body and mind is particularly important in ice hockey. The team must not only be physically fit, but also have mental strength. A healthy lifestyle, combined with the right training, plays a crucial role in success.
In any case, one thing is certain for us: the Cologne Eisbären are ready for the next challenges and show that they can make a good impression both on and off the ice! If the atmosphere in the hall continues to be so exciting, everyone will surely have a lot of fun playing this sport.
