Red Bull Salzburg relies on young talent: contracts for Hörl and Wimmer extended!
EC Red Bull Salzburg consistently relies on youth and recently announced contract extensions for the two young defenders Lukas Hörl and Philipp Wimmer. This decision marks an important turning point for the coming season in the win2day ICE Hockey League.
Lukas Hörl, 22 years old, played 34 games for the Red Bulls last season - 24 of them in the regular season and 10 in the playoffs. In these games he collected two assists and proved himself to be a talented defender. He was also captain of the Juniors team, which highlights his leadership qualities and influence on the team. Hörl, who is known for his physical presence and ability to support the offensive game, wants to earn a permanent place in the lineup. In the 2024/25 season he scored 3 goals and 9 assists in 28 games and celebrated a championship title in the Alps Hockey League and two successes in the U20 ICE Hockey League with the Red Bull Hockey Juniors.
Experience and development
Philipp Wimmer, who is 23 years old, can look back on an impressive career with the Red Bulls. Since joining the Red Bull Ice Hockey Academy in 2017, he has continued to develop. Last season, Wimmer played 32 games in which he scored 1 goal and 7 assists. His height of 1.94 meters and experience with the national team, including participation in the 2023 World Cup in Tampere, give him additional qualifications to excel on the ice. Wimmer is also striving to secure his place in the team for the coming season.
The belief that the young players Hörl and Wimmer have the potential to establish themselves as key players is shared by those responsible at the Red Bulls. The organization is optimistic about its performance and development within the team.
Sustainable promotion of young talent in ice hockey
The overarching goal of these measures is to promote young talent in German ice hockey, similar to what is practiced at EC Red Bull Salzburg. The aim is to further raise the level of ice hockey by reducing the number of older players and supporting young players.
In summary, it can be said that EC Red Bull Salzburg can look forward to a promising future with the contract extension of Lukas Hörl and Philipp Wimmer. Their development, coupled with developments in ice hockey as a whole, could help ensure that talented players continue to be produced in this country in the future.
