Eisbären Berlin's Tiffels Praises Returnee Fontaine, Aims for Title Defense

Frederik Tiffels, a key player for German champions Eisbären Berlin and the national team, expresses confidence ahead of the new DEL season starting September 17. After a strong 2025/26 season with 9 goals and 38 assists in 52 games, plus a solid Olympic performance in Milan, Tiffels trained almost all summer with only ten days off on Mallorca. He particularly praises returnee Gabriel Fontaine, who previously played for Berlin before moving to Munich. Tiffels highlights Fontaine's popularity and hopes he can replicate his strong 2024/25 form. The article concludes that the Eisbären appear even stronger than last season, positioning them well for their title defense project.
