Deutsche Eishockey Liga
Let an agent explain the DEL, relay history, format, clubs and champions from hockey sources, and distinguish it from DEL2, the former Bundesliga, the Germany national team and the Champions Hockey League.
Research draft, second pass
A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.
