Adler Mannheim's sports director Jan-Axel Alavaara comments:

-Together with our team doctor, neurologist Oliver Lanczik, we have evaluated the use of PolarCap®. We are very pleased and agree to continue the collaboration with PolarCool. We as a club will also recommend representatives of our league DEL to work for a league solution where PolarCap® is made available in all DEL arenas for the safety of all players.

PolarCool's CEO Erik Andersson comments:

-The fact that Adler Mannheim chooses to continue to provide PolarCap® System to their players for another two years is of course satisfying. As one of the big clubs in German ice hockey, they are front runner in many areas and we hope that they will be the same in this regard. The fact that they also advocate a league solution is something that of course facilitates in our work to get such a solution in place.
