A Happy Party and Goodbye Night in Green and Red

Championship Celebration and Goodbye – A Special Night in Green and Red

Omar Ingi Magnusson was the best shooter. Felix Claar played very well and was voted SCM Player of the Season. Sergey Hernandez did a great job as goalkeeper. Many stories happened this season. There were hard games, excited fans, and little rest for players. But the most important story is about a team that worked together and cared a lot.

Because of this, saying goodbye to seven players on Wednesday evening was very hard. It was an emotional time on the field. Sebastian Barthold said, “That was a special year. I wouldn’t want to miss this experience with this great team.” Manuel Zehnder and Tim Zechel also spoke to the fans, teammates, and club with nice words.

The two goalkeepers, Sergey Hernandez and Nikola Portner, were also emotional. They talked about their time in Magdeburg and thanked everyone. Portner said, “I had incredible support here.” Hernandez called Magdeburg the “capital of handball” and said it will always be special to him.

Tim Hornke will stop playing after this season. Christian O’Sullivan finished after more than ten years with SCM. These moments were very touching. As a special honor, O’Sullivan’s jersey was raised under the hall roof, and he was added to the Hall of Fame.

You can watch the whole farewell evening again on the SC Magdeburg YouTube channel. The championship celebration is there as well.
