The 1st of April 2017 will most likely be remembered as the most successful day in Vikings history so far. It started with an early roadtrip for the red/white team heading down to Eppelheim for the DPL finals. During regular season they remained undefeated with nine wins and only one tied game scoring 63 goals in Division 5 of the DPL. In the championship game they faced second placed Schorle Adler II and took control from the beginning. But the game was close until the Vikes overrun their oppnent in the last period scoring one goal after anothter for a big 8-0 (2-0/0-0/6-0) victory. In addition to the championship Josh Hampton got honored as the best scorer of the season and Chris Kennedy was docorated with the well deserved title oft he best goalkeeper in DPL 5.
A few hours later the black Vikings had to compete in the RMHL Division 1 final in Mainz. During regular season the Vikings couldn’t manage to get a win against Mainzer Wölfe who therefore felt like getting the prey. But the Vikings came out flying and scored a couple of quick goals. During the second period they extended their lead including a hattrick by Alex Althenn. Now the Vikings dominated on the ice as well as on the stand. At the end the black team managed to win their third consecutive RMHL championship with a confident score of 11-7 (2-0/6-1/3-6) and accomplished this perfect Viking day.
Thanks to the whole Viking family for making this happen!
