  1. <3 Good old days. TTTT ftw.

  3. Lindemann Reflects on Career Stalwart defenseman Till Lindemann, best known as the vocalist for the German metal band Rammstein, has had a very fruitful secondary career as a hockey player. After dominating physically as a rookie, he became known for his tough as nails play in his own zone but was never expected to become anything more than a bottom-pairing bruiser. After a reasonably successful junior season, Lindemann was selected in the first round of the VHL Entry Draft, going to the Helsinki Titans. It was at this point that Lindemann took his first noticeable step forward. Returning to the juniors for a second stint, Lindemann scored over 100 points while registering over 200 hits, easily winning the Defenseman of the Year Award. When it came time for him to make his VHL debut, the rugged 51-year-old proved doubters wrong as he immediately changed the dynamic of the Titans’ blue line with his powerful physical presence. He also put up surprisingly solid offensive numbers, though the exact totals were lost when the VHL Archives were tragically burned to the ground. Lindemann eventually won a championship with the Titans, his patented shut-down style causing his opponents to shake their heads in disbelief before applying ice to their bruised and battered bodies. Immediately after winning the Cup, however, Lindemann was dealt to Vasteras, where he would spend the remainder of his career. Though he never tasted championship glory again, Lindemann continued to provide rock solid defensive play, even as his skills began to noticeably diminish. This past season, Lindemann – also known as the Till-Hammer – registered nine goals and 40 points for the Iron Eagles, with a +54 rating, good for third in the league behind Vasteras teammates Keiji Toriyama and Willem Janssen. Lindemann also finished tenth in hits with 260 and fourth in penalty minutes with 173. Despite his success on the ice, Lindemann has recently been rumored to be contemplating retiring at the end of next season. When we finally pinned him down for a comment on the situation, he admitted it was true. “I’m not getting any younger,” Lindemann revealed. “Beating myself up for Rammstein for 30 years and the wear-and-tear of playing hockey is catching up to me. Even though I feel at the top of my game right now, I know that there will be an end eventually, and I want to leave on a high note. So yes, next season will be my last. I will take a tour of the VHL, sign autographs for fans, and try to coordinate Rammstein shows at as many of the arenas as I can. I know opposing fans hate me on the ice, but hopefully I can give them something positive to remember me by.” Returning to his roots. words = 457
