Co-coach Steve Walker leaves the Red Bulls// STAFFAfter four years alongside coach Don Jackson, assistant coach Steve Walker is leaving EHC Red Bull München.
The 50-year-old moved to the Red Bulls organization in May 2019. As co-coach, the Canadian won the German championship with the Munich DEL team a few days ago. Walker had approached the management with the wish for a career change. This was granted.
Goodbye Walks!
"Steve and the entire coaching team played a decisive role in paving the way for our fourth championship," explains Christian Winkler, Managing Director Sports Red Bull Ice Hockey. On behalf of the entire organization, I would like to thank him very much for the work he has done. We wish him all the best for his future career. Goodbye, Walks!", Winkler continued.
Walker played for the Eisbären Berlin from 2000 to 2011, where he won five German championships, three of them under then-Berlin coach Jackson. After his playing career, he started his coaching career in a Canadian junior league, and in 2015 his path led him back to Germany.
There he worked for two years as an assistant coach with Adler Mannheim. In the 2017/18 season, he was head coach at EC KAC in Austria.
