Frankfurt’s ice hockey team had a tough history until the 1990s, when Eintracht Frankfurt was re-dubbed the Frankfurt Lions, and with the addition of international players, managers and trainers and a big image makeover, they managed to make it to the semi-finals in 1998. As is common with German sports, the Lions have over 50 official fan clubs cheering them on to victory. The German league has more than a few foreign players, and games are always entertaining.
