Iserlohn Roosters tickets 2026-27: hockey at the Eissporthalle Iserlohn
The Iserlohn Roosters play 26 home games in 2026-27 at the Eissporthalle Iserlohn, a rink for 4,967 in the hills of the Sauerland. It is one of the most passionate small-town stops in German hockey, especially for the North Rhine-Westphalia derbies.
Iserlohn Roosters: small-town hockey with big heart
Founded in 1959, the Iserlohn Roosters are a classic DEL underdog: no trophies in the league's history, yet a following that fills the rink regardless of the table. The whole town seems to turn out on game night.
Iserlohn lies in the Sauerland, a hilly region of woodland and lakes. If you want a hockey weekend that combines a game with fresh air, it works well; Dortmund and Hagen are not far, and Düsseldorf and Köln are within reach for a bigger-city base.
Iserlohn Roosters at the Eissporthalle: what to expect
The Eissporthalle Iserlohn holds 4,967. It is an older-style hall, built around the rink, with steep sections and a loud, close feeling. Sight lines are good from almost every spot, and you are rarely more than a few rows from the boards.
Expect a simple setup with classic hockey food and a compact entrance area. Arrive early to find a spot, particularly if you want to stand with the home fans, and dress warmly.
Iserlohn Roosters fans and the game-night atmosphere
The Roosters crowd is relentless: drums, chants and the occasional full-hall roar when a goal goes in. Even when results are difficult, the support stays loud, which has become part of the club's identity.
Visitors are welcome, and the mood is warm as long as you respect the home sections. A scarf bought at the fan shop is a nice souvenir.
Iserlohn Roosters derbies: Krefeld and Köln
The game that attracts the most local attention is against Krefeld Pinguine, who visit on 10 January 2027. Kölner Haie, another North Rhine-Westphalia heavyweight, come on 16 October 2026 and again on 2 January 2027.
Köln's January visit falls right after the holidays, a good chance to see a big-travelling away crowd.
Iserlohn Roosters tickets for fans and visitors
Start with the club's official box office, where season ticket holders have priority. Because the hall is small, derbies and weekend games vanish quickly. Weekday games are easier to book later.
From abroad, check how the ticket is delivered and keep it on your phone. If a game is sold out, use only reputable resale marketplaces. Our email alert will tell you when it is time to book your dates.
What Iserlohn Roosters offer first-time visitors
A first visit is easy to enjoy even if you do not follow the league closely. The rink is small enough to follow every shift, the fans explain the songs gladly and the sense of belonging is strong from the first goal.
Combine a game with a walk around the nearby lakes in daylight and you have a relaxed weekend away from the big cities.
