Frankfurter Löwen als Stammgast in der Kältekammer

The Frankfurt Lions not only rely on traditional training methods but also integrate innovative approaches to optimally prepare their players for the upcoming ice hockey season. In addition to intensive summer training at the Kalbach Athletics Hall, the team utilizes the facilities of doctorfrost in downtown Frankfurt to benefit from cryotherapy chambers. This method is increasingly used in elite sports because it accelerates recovery and enhances performance. Players like Lua Niehus and Markus Schweiger not only engage in strenuous workouts but also expose themselves to sub-zero temperatures two to three times a week to increase their physical endurance and prevent injuries. This holistic approach not only strengthens physical fitness but also trains mental resilience.

Professionalization on and off the ice rink

‍

The coaching team led by Jan Barta and Janne Kujala not only focuses on athletic development but also on the personal care of the players. The professionalization of the team is evident not only on the ice but also in the improvement of conditions such as housing, transportation, and travel comfort. With the appointment of Daniel Heinrizi as sports director and rumors about the potential new head coach Tom Rowe, the team seems to be stabilizing at the leadership level, preparing for a successful season. The early start of summer training allows the players to be in top form early on and to prepare specifically for the upcoming challenges. Overall, the initiative of the Frankfurt Lions shows that they are on a good path to being successful in the upcoming DEL season, both athletically and organizationally.
