After three matches in Sweden, the first weekend of January 2026 also gave me a match in the German Floorball Bundesliga. My birth town team, SSF Dragons Bonn, faced SC Potsdam in the only Bundesliga match on that weekend. Bonn aimed to stay in contact with the top of the league, while Potsdam rather had to fight against leaving the relegation spots. The focus of the 176 spectators was on Janos Bröker, though. After already retiring from top class floorball, the hometown boy gave his comeback in this match. Here is my match report from Sportpark Nord on 4th January 2026.

Dragons Bonn – SC Potsdam – Match Report
The match was a very fair match, starting quite dynamically. The hosts had more ball control. On the other hand, Potsdam looked well-prepared on Bonn’s playbook, playing quicker and more precise offensive plays. They were also a bit of lucky when right in the first minute, when Pascal Dubail’s stick broke and he did not grab the lower half of it from the field. Luck faded quickly, though – and for making the opponent feel unlucky, the Dragons majorly have Florian Weißkirchen. After three minute, he scored the first goal of the match after nicely getting passed the guests’ defense. As said, Potsdam felt to play very well in these first minutes. Thus, they deserved to tie the score in the eleventh minute. Atte Ronkanen drove a left wing attack, beautifully finished with a direct shot by Janne Makkonen.


















However, the longer the period took, the more the match felt to lean towards the Dragons. You could not solely name the long drive from Potsdam to Bonn and the small, twelve player squad for that. In the 18th minute, Tomas Nyström gave his team the lead after a nice free hit play. Just 39 seconds later, Mikael Kukkonen raised the lead to 3-1. This was also the score after twenty minutes, even though there were some nice opportunity. Ronkanen struggled with his faith when he just hit the goalcage eight seconds before the intermission.
Bonn’s Magic Three Define The Difference
Nyström, Kukkonen and Weißkirchen were Bonn’s snipers in the first period – and they found their way into the match report in the second period as well. A major part of Bonn’s fourth goal was on Felix Künnecke, though, who had his second assist of the evening. He nicely drove an attack in the 22nd minute, making netminder Quentin Vallee struggle with his shot. Nyström had an easy task in tipping the ball over the line.















It took some ten minute until there were additions to the match report again. In the 32nd minute, Kukkonen added the fifth goal for Bonn, but Ronkanen gave a lovely answer just 22 seconds later. In the 35th minute, Nyström was the executor after a fast attack by Bonn, rasing the score to 6-2. Even though they became more rare, Potsdam did have chances to score. Bonn was simply more effective. With two minutes left to play, it was Weißkirchen again who made the DJ start Bonn’s goal jingle again. He profited from a fatal bad pass in the Berlin defense, though. At the end of the period, there was also a bench penalty against Jonas Henschler (high sticking, 40th). However, this did not lead to any goal.
Cruel final 20 Minutes for Potsdam
Bonn felt to control the game now. Nonetheless, there were no scores in the first ten minutes, so that Potsdam felt urged to pull Vallee early, in the 51st minute for the first time. However, there were neither empty net goals nor successful shots for SC Potsdam. When Jan Zwak finally scored Bonn’s eighth goal, Vallee was in the net. Makkonen scored in the 56th minute, but there was no chance for a comeback. Finally, Weißkirch (56th) and Lucas Grünewald (57th) sealed the victory. In power play and nine seconds before the final buzzer, Kukkonen wrote the last goal of the match, which finally ended 11-3.







Dragons Bonn – SC Potsdam – My View of the Match
Bad luck that Potsdam could not keep up their spirit of the first ten, fifteen minutes. This part of the match at Sportpark Nord promised a really interesting and close floorball afternoon in the Rhineland region. The longer the match took, the less there were doubts that these three points would stay in Bonn, who climbed to the third spot of the table. If Potsdam can play at their top level for a longer time, they do have the chance to get out of the relegation struggle, though.
