In his second league season, Hönicke became a regular player in 1976/77 with 21 stakes in points and also came to his first three league players. At the end of the season Stahl Riesa had to relegate to the GDR league, in which Hönicke defended his regular place in 1977/78 with 19 of 22 league games and four goals. The BSG Stahl was league relay winner and achieved promotion through the promotion round. Hönicke was used seven times in the eight games and contributed two goals to promotion.
