Pinguins Bremerhaven with respectable success in the CHLSlovenian power in northern Germany// CHLIn the second home game of the 2025/26 CHL season, the Red Bulls await the Pinguins Bremerhaven in the Eisarena Salzburg. The DEL club from the North Sea coast made a strong showing last season by reaching the quarter-finals. It was only the Pinguins Bremerhaven's second participation in the Champions Hockey League last season after 2021/22 - and they went straight through to the quarter-finals. On the way there, the Germans won in the regular season against Genève-Servette, the CHL champion of the 2023/24 season, among others, and eliminated the Swedish top team Skelleftea AIK in the round of 16. In the quarter-finals, they again faced Genève-Servette, who this time had the upper hand in two games.

The club also caused a sensation in the PENNY DEL in the 2023/24 season by reaching the final. Otherwise, Bremerhaven seems to have booked its place in the quarter-finals. Since promotion to the DEL in the 2016/17 season, they have always made it to the quarter-finals (apart from the coronavirus season). The Penguins also reached the playoffs again last season, but then lost to the Kölner Haie in the quarter-finals.

Former ICE Hockey League players set the tone
The team squad is made up of players from a total of eight nations. Three forwards also come from Slovenia and have already played in the win2day ICE Hockey League in previous years: Jan Urbas and Ziga Jeglic were the Penguins' highest-scoring players last season, while Miha Verlic ranked sixth in the team's internal scoring rankings. The dual nationalities are also striking, with ten players holding a German passport in addition to a second nationality.
Head coach Manny Viveiros
"Another team alongside Eisbären Berlin that was very good in the regular season and will prove to be a really tough opponent. Every time you play against a top team from Germany, you can expect a really good game and we have to be at our best to pick up important points in the Champions League."
