EHC Neuwied: From wins to defeats - the path to the top of the table!

EHC Neuwied took the lead in the CEHL Cup with a brilliant win against the Lüttich Bulldogs last weekend. With a final score of 5:3, the Neuwieder were able to delight the home fans, who celebrated the triumph with enthusiastic chants of “frontrunners, frontrunners”. But the joy was quickly followed by disillusionment: just two days later, the team suffered a 3-5 defeat against Herentals, which shows that the road to the top is anything but easy. Liège then moved past Neuwied in the table, thus illustrating the volatility of the championship. Rhein-Zeitung reports.

However, last weekend also had to be viewed in the background of EHC Neuwied. In the CEHL Cup final against the Snackpoint Eaters Limburg-Geleen, the team had previously suffered a bitter defeat 4:7. Neuwied initially led 2-0, thanks to goals from Finn Walkowiak and an own goal from Jowin Ansems. However, the euphoric mood changed when Limburg-Geleen shortened the score through Mike Collard in the last minute of the first third. In the second third, the team from Limburg-Geleen, led by Dean Versteeg, equalized and finally took control of the game in the third period, which was punished with a hearty final result. Jordan Steinmetz even made sure in the last second that the score was increased to 7:4 after the decision had long been made. The decisive factor in the game was the 10 penalty minutes that Limburg-Geleen served compared to EHC Neuwied's 4 minutes, which significantly contributed to the difference. The bears reported.

The challenge remains great

A return to the top half of the table is by no means guaranteed. Neuwied now needs to find his form as the following game against Herentals revealed a below-average performance. These ups and downs show how difficult this season will be for EHC Neuwied. The top performers have to perform at their best in order to regain their place at the top and leave the competition behind.

Fans have high hopes for the team after witnessing this unfortunate setback. Perhaps a positive response in home games is the key to stability and success so that the team has a real chance of being at the top again. The next games are crucial to whether the EHC is willing to take up this fight and fight for the CEHL Cup.

In summary, it can be said: EHC Neuwied has the potential, but it is up to the team to continue to inspire the fans and prevail against the best teams in the league.
