Red Bull Salzburg relies on young talent: Contracts for Hörl and Wimmer extended!

The EC Red Bull Salzburg consistently relies on the youth and recently announced the contract extensions for the two young defenders Lukas Hörl and Philipp Wimmer. This decision marks an important course 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 basic round and 10 in the playoffs. In these games he collected two assists and proved to be a talented defender. He was also captain of the Juniors team, which underlines his leadership qualities and influence on the team. Hörl, who is known for his physical presence and ability to support the offensive game, would like to develop 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.

Last season Wimmer came to 32 games in which he scored 1 goal and 7 templates. His size of 1.94 meters and the experience in the national team, including his participation in the 2023 World Cup in Tampere, gives him additional qualifications to shine on the ice. Wimmer also strives to secure his place in the team for the coming season.

The conviction that young players Hörl and Wimmer have the potential to establish themselves as key players is shared by the responsible persons of the Red Bulls. The organization is optimistic about its performance and development in the team.

sustainable promotion of young talent in ice hockey

The overarching goal of these measures is to promote young talents in German ice hockey, similar to how it is practiced at the EC Red Bull Salzburg. By reducing the number of older players and the support of young players, the level of ice hockey should be increased further.

In summary, it can be said that the EC Red Bull Salzburg can rely on 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 to make talented players in this country.
