Following in Father's Footsteps: Munich Signs National Player Hede

In a significant move for the upcoming season, EHC Red Bull Munich has bolstered its roster by acquiring German national team forward Elis Hede. This signing marks a notable addition to the team's offensive capabilities, bringing in a player recognized for his speed and scoring prowess.

Hede's arrival in Munich carries a familial legacy, as his father, Niklas Hede, previously played for the club from 2008 to 2010 and later led its youth development program. The younger Hede will now follow in his father's footsteps, donning the same jersey number 10, a symbolic connection that resonates with the club's history.

Sporting Director Neville Rautert expressed confidence in Hede's potential, highlighting his recent development and suitability for the team's strategy. The acquisition of Austrian national player Lucas Thaler from partner club EC Red Bull Salzburg further strengthens Munich's lineup, signaling the club's ambition for the next season.

Elis is a young German player with great speed and high finishing quality. He has taken the next step in his development this season and we are convinced that his potential is far from being exhausted.
