Indians hope for the turning point against leaders Tilburg!

On February 16, 2025, the 43rd matchday of the Oberliga Nord was on the program, which promised numerous exciting encounters. In the ice stadium at the horse tower, the EC Hannover Indians met the Tilburg Trappers, who went into the game as leaders. The Indians had to deal with a bitter course because they had lost their last four games and were urgently dependent on a win to keep the connection to the midfield of the table. In contrast, the trappers wanted to keep their good shape and expand their placement.

Another highlight of the match day was the derby between ESC Moscios Essen and the Foxes Duisburg, which took place in the ice rink at the Westbahnhof. The mosquitoes were in impressive form and were able to win their last four games, which gave a certain confidence for the upcoming game. The foxes, on the other hand, had not been able to get a point in the last four away games, which made their starting position extremely difficult.
