The 2018–19 Deutsche Eishockey Liga season was the 25th season since the founding of the Deutsche Eishockey Liga running from 14 September 2018 to 30 April 2019.

All 14 clubs from the previous year and the Löwen Frankfurt applied for a license.[1] The season saw the same teams as last year, as all teams were given their license.[2]

After a points-per-game record during the regular season with 2,23 points per game, the Adler Mannheim won the title for their seventh time defeating EHC Red Bull München 4–1 in the finals.[3]

Player and staff awards

[edit]

During the season, Danny aus den Birken, goalkeeper of EHC Red Bull München was selected as both DEL Player of the Year and Goalie of the Year. Philipp Gogulla from Düsseldorfer EG was awarded as forward of the year whereas Joonas Lehtivouri from the Adler Mannheim was elected as defenceman of the year. For the award of Rookie of the Year, the later NHL first round pick Moritz Seider was chosen by the DEL-fans. The lineup is completed by Don Jackson (RB München) as coach of the year.[4] After the playoffs, Adler Mannheim's goalkeeper Dennis Endras was awarded with the MVP of the playoffs-title.
