The Jungadler Mannheim can look forward to the championship title of the 2023/24 season in the German U17 Young Talent League (DNL). In the fourth game of the final best-of-five series, the Jungadler team won 5-1 against the Kölner Junghaie through. The host teams won the first three games of the playoff final - in game four, the first away win of the series decided this year's championship.
While the Jungadler Mannheim had to admit defeat to the Dresden Eislöwen in the match for third place in the final tournament of the previous season, the team made it to the top of the German U17 teams in this year's playoff mode. The 2023/24 season was extremely successful for the Mannheim young talent - the Jungadler have also already claimed the U15 championship title.
Voices about the game:
Head coach Jungadler Mannheim Adam Borzęcki: “We were close to the title last year, but this season we have become even stronger as a team. With the final victory we confirmed the good performance of the U17 championship round. We would have liked to have become champions in front of our own crowd, but that’s just how play-offs are.”
League leader DFEL & DEB-Young talent game company Manfred Lang: “We congratulate the Mannheim Young Eagles on their U17 championship. After four high-class games in this year's playoff final, the Mannheim young talent selection was able to become the deserved champions of this season with an easy win in the Kölnarena 2 today. We would like to thank both teams for an exciting and passionate final series.”
