test games and preparations

Coach Daniel Huhn can fall back on a well -positioned team in these first test games. A total of seven defenders and twelve strikers are in the squad who have been training intensively together for around two weeks. These test games are a first opportunity to evaluate the current status of the team and set the players to the upcoming competition mode. Huhn hopes to be able to offer the domestic viewers a successful start, while the fans are already waiting for the game on Saturday, arriving in Memmingen to support their team.

The next meeting follows on Sunday when the Memmingers play against SC Riessersee. This league competitor is well known to the Indians because they will face each other again in the regular season in early October. The team from Garmisch has changed for this season, especially in the contingent positions. With two new Canadians who are supposed to support the previous player Robin Soudek, and an ex-Indiander Marc Hofmann in the team, this will be an exciting duel.

For both test games, the tickets are available both online and at the evening cash register. The prices were also reduced this year, special offers of 11 euros for seats and 8 euros for standing room ensure that every ice hockey fan has the opportunity to experience and support the team live.

The anticipation is great, the mood in Memmingen is tense and heated up. The first test games are important not only to show your own strengths, but also to recognize where there is still need for optimization before going to the first point games of the season. The Indians are ready to inspire their fans with attractive ice hockey and a convincing performance on the ice.
