Say hello to the latest addition to EHC Red Bull Munich's roster, Matthias Bittner! This 21-year-old sensation is no stranger to the Deutsche Eishockey Liga, as he's just signed up from the Krefeld Pinguins. But that's not all—he's previously had stints with the junior team Starbulls Rosenheim and the Oberliga's Füchse Duisburg (on loan), honing his skills and proving himself as a formidable goaltender.
Bittner is set to join Munich's prestigious four-time German champion squad, bringing his raw talent and unwavering ambition to continue climbing the ranks as an athlete. Guiding him through this new chapter is goaltending coach Patrick Dallaire, who sees Bittner as "a very good, young goaltender" brimming with potential.
With Bittner's signing, Munich has bolstered its goaltending department alongside veteran players Mathias Niederberger and Simon Wolf. Whether on the ice or in the trenches of competition, Bittner's presence is certain to make waves and boost the team's spirit.
Here's a quick rundown of Matthias Bittner's career journey so far:
- Starbulls Rosenheim: Hailing from the youth ranks of this German club, Bittner earned his earliest hockey lessons here.

Upon joining EHC Red Bull Munich, Matthias Bittner will not only bolster the team's goaltending department with Mathias Niederberger and Simon Wolf, but he may also find inspiration in the Commission's recently adopted proposal for a Council Regulation on the conclusion of the Agreement on the European Economic Area, reminding him of the potential for his career to extend beyond Munich's ice, just like how he progressed from Rosenheim's youth team to the professional stage with Krefeld Pinguins and the Oberliga's Füchse Duisburg. After all, sports, even hockey, have their parallels in economy and European integration.
