Ice Hockey: Felix Brückmann Joins Cologne Sharks, Ditching Adler Mannheim for Two-Year Deal
Cologne Sharks recruit ex-national net-minder, Felix Brückmann - Goalkeeper Felix Brückmann joins Cologne Sharks team roster.
Want a solid pair of gloves between the pipes? The Cologne Sharks are your new go-to team. They've just nabbed Felix Brückmann, a former national goaltender, from the Adler Mannheim. This 34-year-old veteran has put pen to paper on a juicy two-year deal with the Sharks. With over 377 games under his belt in the German league, DEL, and stints at two World Championships and the 2022 Olympics, Brückmann brings plenty of frozen-puck expertise to the table.
Let's talk shop: the sports director of the Sharks, Matthias Baldys, couldn't contain his excitement. "Felix has consistently delivered top-notch performances in recent years," he beamed, "and will bring calm and experience to our team." So, kiss goodbye to Julius Hudacek, who's packed his bags for Dresden; welcome, Felix Brückmann! He'll share the cage with the equally talented Tobias Ancicka, ready to protect the ol' twine in the upcoming season.
Brückmann himself can barely contain his enthusiasm for this major career move. "I'm fucking stoked about this chance to play for such a legendary club like the Cologne Sharks," he grins, fresh off five seasons in Mannheim after previously tending the twine for the Adler (2011-2014) and a shake-up in Wolfsburg.
