Starbulls Rosenheim: Five wins and the dream of a record!
The 2024/2025 ice hockey season is in full swing and the Starbulls Rosenheim are taking a short break during the German Cup break to reflect on their achievements so far. After five wins in a row, the Starbulls are currently in a strong fourth place in the DEL2. The OVB sports editorial team announced this in the latest podcast “Hart checked”, in which the team’s previous performances are examined. Thomas Neumeier, Marinus Obermaier and Marko Aleksic discussed in detail what the team has achieved so far and what challenges still lie ahead.
“The current ranking is more than justified,” confirmed Obermaier during the podcast recording. Neumeier is optimistic and hopes that the Starbulls can build on their impressive winning streak after the international break to set a new record – six wins in a row. With their away strength, a defensive approach and counter-attacking play, the Starbulls have proven that they can also be successful on foreign ice. The discussion about the differences between home and away games provided additional insights, particularly how game formats impact performance.
Offensive strategies and new additions
In order to remain competitive this season, the team is pursuing a more offensive style of play, characterized primarily by an effective two-man forecheck. Aleksic emphasized that the composition of the squad with many small, fast players makes it difficult for the opponents to position themselves defensively. This is also reflected in the results so far, which support the team on the way to the playoff quarter-finals in 2024/2025.
Among the newcomers, the strong Jordan Taupert stands out, who was named player of the first quarter of the season by Neumeier. Obermaier, on the other hand, has high hopes for Luigi Calce, whose young age and talented style of play make him a promising player. The adjustments to the squad appear to have been the right decision, as the Starbulls have improved greatly compared to the previous season, in which they only finished 11th.
A look into the past
Looking back at the past few seasons shows that the Starbulls have experienced several ups and downs recently. From promotion to the DEL2 in the 2022/2023 season, where they reached second place in the playoff final, to fifth place in the current season, the Rosenheimers have experienced a lot. The current performances give hope that the team is on the right track to be at the top. The development of the team has been particularly exciting to watch over the last few years, both in the DEL2 and in the top league.
The Starbulls Rosenheim seem to be well on their way to delighting the fans again this season, supported by young and dynamic players and a well-thought-out strategy. It remains to be seen whether they can build on their successes after the international break and fulfill their hopes of setting a new record.
