i will have to watch some DEL games in next time...i hope they show some live at TV....do u maybe know witch channel???

cause i am curious how the level is there.....i would wonder witch league is better...the swiss or the german....i think the DEL is harder...and the swiss more technical...

i don't like the DEL system of let play so many non-germans....u see the results in ur nationalteam...

Games are shown on 'Premiere' (Pay TV).
In free TV you might be lucky to catch some snippets on WDR or BR3 or other local channels, but they´re showing just game summaries.

Aside from that: most of those questions have recently been answered/discussed in 2-3 other threads. ;)

Good read - just one little mistake: Benoit Gratton is not with Hannover, he´s with the Hamburg Freezers :)
