Ice hockey scandal: From the birch and Haukeland in the manipulation drama!

What's going on in the ice hockey scene? A new scandal about allegations of manipulation causes excitement. Goalkeeper Danny from the birch, known from the "Ice and Life" podcast, spoke in a current episode about a delicate message that puts him in a bad light. As a result, he explains that Henrik Haukeland, the then goalkeeper of the Düsseldorfer eG, had sent him an ironic message in front of decisive playoff games in which he offered him to forego defeat. In return, Haukeland assured him to secure a job as a goalkeeper coach in Düsseldorf if his Dresden Eislöwen were losing. In the event of a defeat for the Düsseldorf DEG, this would have meant catastrophic consequences, because a descent would have been the consequence after Ravensburg had not registered for the DEL.

But how did these allegations come about? In his podcast, Haukeland's message mentioned with several laughing mileys from the birches, which should have underlined the joking character of communication. He himself saw the news as humorous and emphasized that he always rejects manipulation offers. "Without sporting fairness, ice hockey is not fun," he said clearly. Haukeland also commented and said that the matter was exaggerated. "I am surprised at the seriousness of the allegations," said Haukeland, who builds his career on fair play.
