Overview
- Eisbären Berlin beat the Iserlohn Roosters 4-0 with period scores of 1:0, 3:0 and 0:0 and goals by Markus Vikingstad, Manuel Wiederer, Liam Kirk and Ty Ronning.
- Goalkeeper Jonas Neffin, a 26-year-old native of Iserlohn who left the club in 2023 to develop in DEL2, made his DEL debut for Berlin and kept a clean sheet.
- The win leaves the defending champions with three victories in four matches and shows immediate results under new coach Eric Dubois after a difficult opening schedule.
- Roster moves are affecting selections because the league’s U23 rule forced Eisbären to leave a senior player out of the matchday squad after signing Jean‑Luc Foudy, and players flagged tactical flaws such as weak first passes and complicated exit play.
- The game drew 13,655 fans to the Arena am Ostbahnhof and underlines how the club’s use of DEL2 talent can feed the top flight while the team continues to refine its play.
