Rio Kaiser: "I'm really looking forward to the coming season and my return to the organization. My time at the Red Bull Ice Hockey Academy was extremely formative and positive, and I look back on it fondly. I am convinced that I will continue to develop both athletically and personally in Munich. From now on, I will do everything I can to contribute to the team's success."
Christian Winkler, Managing Director Sports Red Bull Ice Hockey: "It's great that Rio has found his way back into our organization. As a true homegrown talent from the Red Bull Ice Hockey Academy, he has the best prerequisites to develop into a strong defenseman. Now it's our job to develop his potential and accompany him on the next step of his career."
Kaiser will wear the number 18 for the Red Bulls.
