At the league conference on May 20, 2012 in Hanover, representatives of the Langenhagen Jets were also present, who expressed their interest in moving up to the top league as a replacement for the Harzer Wolves. But that was rejected again for financial reasons.
Originally the Crocodiles Hamburg wanted to withdraw from the league, but then they decided to participate. The Hanover Braves withdrew from the Oberliga Nord at the end of July.
