Towerstars narrowly lose in overtime against Bad Nauheim: 3:4!

In an exciting ice hockey game last weekend, the Ravensburg Towerstars lost to EC Bad Nauheim 3:4 after extra time. In front of 2,771 enthusiastic spectators in Bad Nauheim, it was a duel that captivated until the last second and showed how dramatic and unpredictable the sport of ice hockey can be. The Towerstars were able to take a point for their effort, but swapped places in the table with their opponents and are now in 11th place in the table, while Bad Nauheim is in 10th place, even though they have a game less than Ravensburg. This information was provided by the Screen newspaper and the Frankfurter Neuen Press reported.

The Towerstars started the game fully motivated, but missed a few promising chances, including one from Robbie Czarnik after just 20 seconds. Bad Nauheim's goalkeeper Jerry Kuhn showed with several saves that the home team's defense was strong. Despite being behind in the middle of the game, when Luca Hauf scored the first goal for Ravensburg in the 31st minute, the home team did not let themselves be defeated. Bad Nauheim equalized in the 43rd minute before they were able to take the lead through Zach Kaiser in the 54th minute. The game tipped again when Erik Karlsson equalized with 23 seconds left.

The extension

Overtime started excitingly, but after just 29 seconds Tyler Vause scored the winning goal for Bad Nauheim after Ravensburg's pressure was not enough. After the game, coach Bo Subr was disappointed with his team's conversion of chances and individual mistakes. For the Towerstars, Florin Ketterer returned after a six-week break, while Justin Volek celebrated his comeback after injury. At Bad Nauheim, however, there were a few missing players, including Philipp Bidoul and Sebastian Cimmermann with a sponsorship license from Frankfurt, while Tjark Kölsch was in the squad but did not receive any ice time.
