Krefeld's hockey heroes strive for the championship dream in Frankfurt!

On January 25, 2025, the highly expected final Four will take place in Frankfurt am Main, in which the Crefeld HTC (CHTC) meets the South winner TSV Mannheim. The semi -finals start at 6:45 p.m. The CHTC has secured the ticket to the final round through an impressive 12: 6 victory over the Zehlendorfer wasps, while TSV Mannheim prevailed in the quarterfinals against UHC Hamburg in penalty shootout. These encounters promise exciting games and are the highlight of the indoor season.

The starting point for the Crefelder HTC could not be more exciting. Last year, the team lost 5: 8 in the quarterfinals against TSV Mannheim. Coach Ronan Gormley was optimistic about the upcoming challenges and emphasized the importance of a concentrated defensive performance: "We have to defend cleanly," said Gormley. However, the team can rely on their national goalkeeper Joshua Onyekwue Nnaji, who holds four out of five penalty attempts in the quarterfinals against RW Cologne. These skills could be of great advantage in the crucial game.

The opponents in focus

TSV Mannheim, undefeated by the group phase, showed himself to be a serious opponent. They demonstrated their strength in the quarter-finals when Alvaro Tello scored four goals and the team was able to win the dramatic shoot-out with a 9: 7 difference. Her solid defensive will be an important challenge for the CHTC, which shone on the offensive, especially in the person of Finn Langheinrich, who scored five goals out of penalty corners.

In the other quarter -final games, the Harvestehuder THC showed a strong performance against the Mannheim HC and secured a place in the final Four. They won the quarter -finals 5: 3 and are also unbeaten this season. The Gladbacher HTC, which defeated the Berlin HC 9: 4, will meet the Harvestehuder THC in the second semi -finals. These teams have also qualified for the final round and promise exciting duels.
