By the way: His brother-in-law now also plays in Kaufbeuren. Attacker Maximilian Hadraschek only returned to the ESVK from the Ravensburg Towerstars in May. "He and my sister got married last summer and that's even more reason to follow the whole thing. I think I'm already one of the club's bigger fans," says Eisenschmid with a laugh.
Eisenschmid expects "hard-fought games"
So will we now see a direct duel against his brother-in-law? It's possible. For our team, however, it's more about working on the finer points once again. After all, things will get really serious on September 12, when the new season in the PENNY DEL begins. On matchday 1, we will be away to the Cologne Sharks at 7:30 pm.
Accordingly, Eisenschmid expects intense ice hockey from all four teams. "For most of the teams, it's the dress rehearsal before the start of the season. That's why I think we can expect exciting and hard-fought games. I hope that the fans in Kaufbeuren turn up in large numbers and see some good ice hockey," says our number eleven.
Eisenschmid himself will be making a premiere. That's because the last time he was on the ice in Kaufbeuren was twelve years ago, before he moved from there to Canada at the start of his professional career in 2013. "So it's a homecoming for me. I've never played in the new ice rink before and I'm just looking forward to playing at home in my hometown again."
