This was followed by two seasons with the Nürnberg Ice Tigers and two seasons with the Frankfurt Lions , with whom he was able to celebrate his fourth DEL championship in 2004 as captain . In his first season in Frankfurt, Stanton was the most punished player in the entire DEL main round with 167 penalty minutes.
