What’s DEL Iowa?

DEL is a professional hockey league in Germany. Good to see Tom Larkin and the Spink twins are playing together again! Also good to see that Ben Raymond and Alex DiPaolo are still playing together in Maine. By the way, the Maine Mariners are affilated with the Boston Bruins!

And as for tonight, we earned another 3 points in the standings with a 2-1 win over RPI. We scored the go-ahead goal in the 3rd period, then successfully killed a 5 minute major penalty. Then RPI pulled the goalie with 2 and a half minutes remaining and we were able to successfully defend the 6 on 5.

Rainman is right. From Wiki…
The Deutsche Eishockey Liga (DEL) is the top division in German ice hockey . At its founding in 1994, it was the first German professional league whose operations were run by an operating company and whose clubs outsourced their professional teams to limited liability companies . The DEL Betriebsgesellschaft mbH (DEL Operating Company Ltd.) is now legally, economically, and organizationally independent and is an association of the DEL clubs. Its predecessor was the Eishockey-Bundesliga (Ice Hockey Bundesliga), which existed between 1958 and ‘94. The Eisbären Berlin are the record holders of the DEL with eleven German championships. The DEL's headquarters, the so-called league office, is located in Neuss.

In March of 2001, I was fortunate to see Esa Tikkanen play for the Essen Mosquitoes when Klaus Schmeh took me to a DEL game. It was one of Esa’s final professional hockey games.

A win is a win, but I was surprised to see the closeness of tonight’s game against RPI. Apparently Union played Cornell tough tonight at Lynah (whose ice held up), so tomorrow’s Union at Colgate game should be very interesting. Hopefully we will up our game.

I was very impressed by the penalty kill on the five minute major. I don’t think RPI had a single quality chance; it seemed like no shots at all. Obviously, that was the turning point in the game.

Huge opportunity tonight. Make it a clean two weekend sweep at home. And beat a quality opponent.
