Highlander Lüdenscheid on course for the final: three goals ahead!

The Highlander Lüdenscheid are getting ready to write an important chapter in their hockey history! On Saturday morning they set off for Deggendorf with full enthusiasm and a three-goal lead to fight for promotion to the second division championship against Deggendorf Plant in the exciting second leg of the semi-final playoffs. The news has electrified the region, and the anticipation for the duel in the Plant Arena on Sandnerhofweg is growing immeasurably!

The arena is under pressure because the opponent from Lüdenscheid has already impressively shown in the first leg with a 9:6 win that they should not be underestimated this season. “We are a force to be reckoned with!” was the emphatic signal that the Highlanders sent out in the first game. But the cushion is thin – only three goals separate the two teams. The Deggendorfers will do everything they can to strike back on home soil. Their captain Johannes Brunner and the dangerous Stefan Bauer are just some of the strong players who can present the Highlanders with immense challenges, while the Lüdenscheiders have to prepare for an intense fight for a place in the final.

Six hour bus ride to the challenge

After a 600 kilometer journey by bus, including planned breaks to relax, the goal is clear: the Highlanders don't just want to compete, they want to win! "We are ready for a high-scoring game. The hall is smaller, that can be dangerous," says captain Matti Stein resolutely. The challenge will not only be in the arena but also in psychological strength as the home fans will be vocally behind their team. The people of Lüdenscheid have prepared for the special circumstances and even trained in a similar hall in order to take advantage of every advantage. This game will decide everything - and the Highlanders are determined to punch their ticket to the final!
