DJK Holzbüttgen triumphs 13:6 and remains undefeated at the top!

On October 30, 2025, floorball fans experienced a top-class sporting spectacle in the Kaarst city park hall. The DJK Holzbüttgen impressively defended its lead in the 1st Floorball Bundesliga and saw off SC Potsdam with a clear 13:6 victory. Almost 350 spectators witnessed a dynamic game that impressively showcased the strengths of the popular team sport.

But why was this victory so important for DJK Holzbüttgen? The team was well prepared and immediately started with full force. Joona Heiskanen opened the score after just three minutes, followed by Jarno Pensikkala, who quickly scored the second goal. The Holzbüttgers didn't let up and increased the lead to 4-0 by the 13th minute. This represented a clear lead that even Potsdam's first goal in the 16th minute, making it 4-1, could not jeopardize it.

A game with many facets

In the second third, SC Potsdam showed a fighting spirit and reduced the lead to 5:3, but Holzbüttgen remained unimpressed. In the final period, the hosts turned things up again and increased the gap to 7:3 before the game ended with a crushing 13:6. In addition to Pensikkala, Maximilian Groß, Lehwalder, Belcke and Hofferbert also contributed goals to the victory.

A small curiosity should also be mentioned: Due to the risk of confusion due to similar jerseys, SC Potsdam had to switch to their red home jerseys in order not to confuse the fans and referees. Such sudden changes add extra thrill to the already exciting gameplay.

The meaning of victory

After the game, Maximilian Groß spoke positively about the team chemistry and emphasized the pressure that was on the players. This attitude could be crucial for the challenges ahead. The next away game is on November 1st at Blau-Weiß 96 Schenefeld, a team that Holzbüttgen defeated in the last two meetings.

What exactly makes floorball so special? The sport is played in a 40 x 20 meter hall with plastic rackets and a light ball. Each team consists of five field players and a goalkeeper, with playing time consisting of three thirds of 20 minutes. Floorball combines strength, speed and skill while being easy to learn and visually appealing. The sport is growing in popularity, particularly among young people, also thanks to the high participation of women and girls, as the article on floorball.sport [archive.floorball.sport] reports.

The DJK Holzbüttgen not only remains a title contender, but could also take the motivation and team play that they demonstrated today into the next games.
