Mighty Dogs with a big challenge: EHC Königsbrunn is coming!

The tension in the Bayernliga rises, because on Friday the first home game for the Mighty Dogs is pending. After a narrow defeat in the first game against EV Dingolfing, where they had to go 3: 4 into overtime, the Schweinfurters are now facing a trend -setting game. The opponent is the EHC Königsbrunn, who is currently in second place in the table after his victory against ERSC Amberg and intends to defend his championship title this season.

The Mighty Dogs expect a strong opponent on Friday from 8 p.m. in the Icedome of Schweinfurt, who has already won his first game with 4: 1. The EHC Königsbrunn has won the championship for itself in the last two seasons and is now aiming for the title Hattrick. The focus is particularly on the talented strikers Tim Bullnheimer and Marco Sternheimer, who come from the offspring of Augsburger EV. Marco Sternheimer has established himself as a key player in his last seasons and is one of the most successful actors of the EHC, with an impressive number of 69 scorer points last season.

challenges for the Mighty Dogs

The Mighty Dogs are, however, a big challenge. In addition to the injuries to Tomas Cermak, who played the last game in Dingolfing, Dylan Hood returns, who brings back to the team after a long absence. This will give the coaching team around Semjon Bär and Tomas Kubalik new options in the contingent. In order to strengthen the defensive, Philipp Faulhaber was also committed as a guest player, which means a positive development for the team.

Coach Dirk Salinger of the ERSC Amberg will have to look at his own team, but also at the opponent's situation on Sunday, October 20. The lions from Amberg have established themselves in the Bayernliga and have a long series of successful playoff participants. They also reached the playoffs last season and want to build on these successes this season. But that will not be easy because several key players are currently not available. This includes the goalie Timon Bätge, who has switched to the Oberliga Nord to the Rostock Piranhas, as well as defender Kevin Lavallée, who is in the USA for professional reasons.

Amberg also signed new players this season, including the experienced Tomas Plihal, who previously played at Erding, and Carlo Wittor, who returns from North America. These new additions could be decisive for how the situation on the offensive develops for the lions. The upcoming away game in Amberg promises to become intense and exciting, especially in view of the rivalry between the teams. Bully is scheduled at 6:30 p.m.

The Mighty Dogs are determined to master these difficult tasks. Before the home game against EHC Königsbrunn, there is also a fundraising campaign to support the "Interest Group to save the St. Josef Hospital Schweinfurt". With this campaign, the association hopes to collect important means for the support of the hospital. During the first third break, Stefan Labus, who launched the initiative, will give the viewers a few words on the way.

The next games offer fans exciting ice hockey action and the opportunity to support their team on their way to a successful start to the season. All eyes are focused on the upcoming games, where both the Mighty Dogs as well as the EHC Königsbrunn and the Löwen from Amberg do everything possible to demonstrate their strengths and to offer fans a gripping experience.
