Historical Context
The Deutsche Eishockey Liga was founded in 1994, replacing the Bundesliga as Germany's premier ice hockey competition. ERC Ingolstadt entered the league in the 2002-03 season after winning the 2nd Bundesliga championship. The club quickly established itself, winning its first and only DEL championship in the 2013-14 season under coach Pat Cortina. Ingolstadt has been a consistent playoff contender, appearing in the postseason 15 times since joining the league. Grizzlys Wolfsburg joined the DEL for the 2006-07 season, following the promotion of the Wolfsburg Grizzly Adams franchise from the 2nd Bundesliga. The team rebranded to Grizzlys Wolfsburg in 2013. While Wolfsburg has not won a DEL championship, it reached the playoff finals twice, in 2016 and 2023, losing on both occasions. The head-to-head history between the clubs dates to their first DEL meeting in the 2006-07 season. As of the end of the 2023-24 season, the two teams had faced each other over 80 times in league play. Recent seasons have seen competitive matches, with several games decided by a single goal or in overtime. The rivalry intensified during the 2023 playoff quarterfinals, where Ingolstadt defeated Wolfsburg in a seven-game series en route to the semifinals.
