Der Fall der Düsseldorfer Eislauf-Gemeinschaft hatte sich schon im vergangenen Jahr angedeutet. Dennoch sollte 2025 ein gutes Jahr werden. Stattdessen steht die Zukunft der DEG in den Sternen.
The DEG (Düsseldorfer Eislauf-Gemeinschaft), a traditional ice hockey club, is facing relegation from the DEL (Deutsche Eishockey Liga). This decline has been foreshadowed for some time, and while not entirely confirmed depending on other league outcomes, it feels like a relegation. Financial instability and near-relegation experiences in recent years contributed. Key factors included financial difficulties preventing early player acquisitions, reliance on DEL presence for sponsorships and player agreements, and ultimately, a loss to the Nürnberg Tigers. The team and its leadership have taken responsibility for the situation.
