Finally ...

due to your DEL propaganda i am currently watching the adler mannheim game! i picked mannheim bc I am not great at German (yet! i'm trying!) but i can understand their accents relatively easily. it is very heartening to be able to understand the player interviews and much of the announcing, since it's so similar to english-language hockey content that i can guess a lot of the words i don't know. i like the cheering from the audience a lot. and Tom Kuhnhackl is here?

do you happen to have any fun adler mannheim facts to share?

hi anon! so happy to hear you fell victim to are enjoying the propaganda! tom kühnhackl sure seems like an argument for mannheim, i can’t fault you there. and i’ve never thought about certain accents being easier understood by english speakers before, but anything that works for you is a win! (and they really really know how to market themselves on social media, i love that for them)

mannheim is not really my cup of tea, so i don't actually have fun anecdotes to share, but i hope these facts still count: - on average the adler have the tallest and heaviest roster for this season - david wolf is the active player with the most penalty minutes of the league (he's on #7 on the all-time ranking) - they won the championship eight times so far, which makes them the second most succesful team in del history - their mascot is a hamster, because they found hamsters when they built the arena - traumatizing fact: they managed to turn a 2:3 into a 4:3 within like 20 seconds in the last minute of the game which ended köln's championship dreams last year - i distinctly remember skimming over a newspaper article about how they could have had crosby playing for them during the lockout but said no? not sure if that’s confirmed but. insane? - mannheim itself gets often refered to as quadratestadt, because the city is build in squares and has the weirdest street names like … M5 or something (insane to me, from a city inspired by a fan)

Father's Day

Elias: "Pappa. You are the best. You've meant a lot to me. When you drove me to the rink in Ånge and Timrå. Everywhere. You cleaned the ice so I could skate on good ice all the time. You've always been there. I love you."

William: "When I was younger, I couldn't watch a lot of games, but he was our idol and took us to the rink. He has been an incredible role model for me in my career and for me as a person. He has helped me grow as a human being."

David: "He definitely meant a lot to me and he used to play hockey. He always wanted me to play hockey and spend time together, and he could give me advice."

Tom: "He is the reason why I play hockey, he has always been there when I needed advice or if things weren't going well. He has always been there and supported me."
