Countdown for the start of the season: Krefeld Penguins Test against Kassel Huskies

The anticipation for the new DEL 2 season is growing because the Krefeld penguins are intensively preparing for the upcoming challenges. On September 13, 2023, the team will compete against the wolves themselves in their first home game. But before it really starts, there are two important test games on the plan that will play a decisive role in the preparation of the team.

On Friday evening at 7.30 p.m., the penguins meet the Kassel Huskies. This duel against a direct competitor in the league offers the black and yellow the opportunity to refine their strategies and grow together as a team. Head coach Thomas Popiesch worked particularly on the special teams in the last training sessions in order to convey a better feeling for excess and outnumbered games for the players. "The team is supposed to develop trust and self -confidence and outnumber. We need a good feeling in these moments," said Popiesch during a press conference that took place on Thursday.

The importance of the test games

These test games are of great importance for the Krefeld penguins. Here the players can demonstrate their individual skills and prove themselves as a unit. The fine -tuning in critical players in particular is crucial to be successful in the new season. Each game offers the opportunity to work on the tactical orientation and to better understand the various game systems of the DEL 2 teams.

The penguins will also compete against the Hanover Scorpions after the game against the huskies, which will provide additional valuable insights. Such encounters are not only important for the individual preparation of the players, but also for the team structure and the morale of the group. The training has already shown that Popiesch and his team are able to turn the right adjustment screws.

The coming season promises to be exciting, but the preparation is the be -all and end -all for the Krefeld penguins. A successful start to the season can make the difference and set a positive sign for fans. With the right findings from these test games, the penguins could start the DEL 2 season perfectly and set high goals.
