ECDC Memmingen cheers: Dramatic overtime victory against Passau!

On Friday evening, the ECDC Memmingen achieved an exciting 3-2 win after extra time against the Black Hawks Passau. Jack Olmstead celebrated a successful debut and made decisive impulses for his new team with two assists. The next derby against the Lindau Islanders is already on the program on Sunday.

The game started to do the same: In the first third, the Memmingen took the lead through an overpaid gate of Matej Pekr before Andrew Schembri equalized for Passau. In the second third it was Robert Pelelikis who brought Memmingen back to the front, supported by Olmstead. But the Black Hawks equalized in the last third by David Seidl, which went into overtime. This was shaped by mistakes and lack of concentration, and both teams had difficulty scoring more goals. Memmingen was more dominant in the extension, but had to survive an outsourcing situation. Ultimately, Eddy Homjakov's goal was made by Olmstead.

Laatzte developments in the Memminger Indians

The Memmingen Indians have also signed Jack Olmstead as the new striker. The 26-year-old arrived in Memmingen on Tuesday and will initially be planned as a fourth contingent player until Linus Svedlund receives German citizenship. Olmstead grew up in Michigan and looks back on a career in the NCAA and in Swedish Division 2. In the current season, he scored remarkable 11 goals and 17 assists in 31 games in a try-out at the Tölzer Löwen.

Sven Müller, the sporting director of Memmingen Indians, emphasizes the expectations of Olmstead as a fast and agile striker with a good end. After Sebastian Christmann's departure, a squad was vacant that Olmstead is now taking. Depending on the violation of Paul Fabian, those responsible for the team also plan to carry out further obligations in the German sector. Olmstead's debut in the Oberliga depends on when Svedlund receives his German passport. Before the weekend, the Indians took fourth place in the Oberliga-Süd and received the Lindau Islanders on Sunday, whose top scorer Zan Jezovsek has already scored 22 goals this season.
