Centennial work on Freiberg hockey: A look back at 100 years!
Exciting news from Freiberg hockey circles! Tobias Seifert recently published a comprehensively researched commemorative publication that impressively documents the history of Freiberg hockey. This “project of the century” was launched on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the Freiberg Hockey and Tennis Club (FHTC) and has been available in the club’s office since June 3rd, on Wednesdays from 4 p.m. The 320-page publication contains over 500 images and more than 80,000 words, which powerfully reflect the association's rich heritage.

The publication was originally planned for 2020, but the challenges of the corona pandemic delayed it. Seifert developed all the content himself, including layout, typesetting and pre-press, supported by two other authors.

Colored portraits of all honorary members complete the overall picture, as does a comprehensive tabular list of well-known selected players.
