The 22-year-old, who turned 22 in mid-January, is already an important defensive pillar in Oliver David's team. There is a clear reason why he, as a regular player for EHC Red Bull Munich, is not taking a well-deserved break, but prefers to continue playing in the DEL2.
Sinn wants to get back into the rhythm of the game
"I decided this because of my recent injury. I was out for almost a month in total. The coach then gave me the option of playing in Kaufbeuren, and I immediately said ‘yes,’“ explains Sinn, adding: ”I think it's a good idea: I get a lot of ice time and get back into a proper playing rhythm. When the league resumes, I'll be in shape."
Our number 43 already made his first two appearances at the weekend. More are set to follow this coming weekend. “There's no exact schedule yet. I'll play the next two games and then probably come back to Munich when training starts.”
Bittner with plenty of ice time in Bad Tölz
In addition to the Kaufbeuren trio, a Red Bulls development player is currently in Bad Tölz. Matthias Bittner is currently alternating in goal for the ambitious Oberliga team with Enrico Salvarani.
“The coach decides who plays based on the opponent and his gut feeling. The cooperation with Bad Tölz is great. I get to play a lot, they want to promote me, and it's easy to combine with Munich because of the proximity. The Lions are a great club and things are going really well on the ice right now, which makes it even more fun,” reports Bittner.
