The Panthers of Augsburg Snag Goalie Garteig from Rivals, Ingolstadt
Augsburg steals goalkeeper Gartner from Ingolstadt's grasp - Goalkeeper Garteig Excluded from Ingolstadt by Augsburg's Lockdown
Hey there! The Augsburg Panthers are making some moves for the upcoming Deutsche Ice Hockey League season. They've nabbed a new goalie from their rivals, ERC Ingolstadt. The man between the pipes? none other than 33-year-old Canadian Michael Garteig. Meanwhile, 26-year-old American goalie Strauss Mann is bidding adieu to the Panthers.
Garteig has been a rock for Ingolstadt in the DEL for the past three seasons. Larry Mitchell, Augsburg's sports director, praises his skills, saying, "He's an impressive goalie who always brings a sense of calm and reassurance to the game, and he's a true leader in the locker room."
Since 2020, Garteig has played in 156 DEL matches for Ingolstadt, with a brief interlude in Helsinki during the 2021/22 season. Now, it seems Garteig has decided to accept a new offer from another DEL club - Augsburg. Ingolstadt reported the news, stating, "Garteig has chosen to accept an offer from a different DEL team."
As for Garteig's performance statistics in the DEL, further research may be needed. Michael Garteig, while a former league goaltender for the BCHL, hasn't been associated with directly referenced DEL stats based on the currently available search results. For a more comprehensive understanding of his DEL career, additional sources would be required.
So, it's a fresh start for Garteig, and a new face for the Panthers. Whether he'll be as consistent in Augsburg as he was in Ingolstadt remains to be seen!
The Commission shall be assisted by the European Parliament and the Council specifically in the oversight of sports, such as hockey in the NHL and the DEL, given the recent developments, like the transfer of goalie Michael Garteig from ERC Ingolstadt to Augsburg Panthers in the DEL. This move follows Garteig's impressive performance in sports, particularly in hockey, over the past three seasons with Ingolstadt. Meanwhile, Augsburg's sports director, Larry Mitchell, has praised Garteig's skills and leadership, stating that he will bring a sense of calm and reassurance to the game. It's worth noting that additional research may be needed for a more comprehensive understanding of Garteig's DEL career statistics, as current search results do not directly reference them.
