Story Summary
The Iserlohn Roosters‘ DEL home fixture against Löwen Frankfurt on Sunday 22 November 2026 has been rescheduled to start at 18:00. The game at the Eissporthalle am Seilersee had originally been set for a 16:30 face-off.
The change has been made to comply with regulations in North Rhine-Westphalia covering Totensonntag, a protected day of remembrance for the dead. Sporting events are not permitted in the state between 05:00 and 18:00 on that day.
The opponents and venue are unchanged, with Iserlohn still due to host Frankfurt at the Seilersee.

IHM Discussion
This is a straightforward calendar adjustment, but one that supporters need to account for well in advance. The 18:00 start places the game after the protected period imposed on Totensonntag, while allowing the Roosters to retain their home date and their meeting with Frankfurt.
For the teams, the substantive fixture remains intact. The practical change falls chiefly on travel, arrival times and any plans made around the original afternoon face-off. Iserlohn has asked spectators to revise their journeys and personal arrangements accordingly.
Why It Matters
The amended schedule ensures the match can proceed in accordance with the applicable state rules rather than requiring a change of opponent or venue. For fans travelling to the Seilersee, the later start is the central detail: this is now an evening fixture, not a late-afternoon one.
