The DEL: A significant league in European ice hockey
The German Ice Hockey League (DEL) is the highest professional ice hockey league in Germany and was founded in 1994 to replace the ice hockey Bundesliga at the time. As the information from Wikipedia illustrates, the DEL is known for its atmosphere on match days and the development of talents that have switched to the NHL, including Dominik Kahun and Tim Stützle. The league comprises 14 teams that play in various arenas, including large modern halls in cities such as Cologne and Berlin, where over 15,000 spectators regularly flock to the games. The Cologne Haie and the Eisbären Berlin in particular have made a name for themselves and attract huge crowds at their home games.
A highlight of the DEL are the winter games taking place annually, in which games are played in large open -air ravages. These games often attract over 40,000 spectators. The DEL gained popularity, especially after the Olympic success of the 2018 German national team, and has become a serious competition for football. Ice hockey has experienced a remarkable upswing in Germany, and the DEL plays a crucial role through the introduction of an ascent and descent system that has been implemented since the 2021–22 season. This enables easier integration of talents and continuous competition among the teams and significantly increases the attractiveness of the league.
