Travis Turnbull, a key player for the Dresden Eislöwen, has moved to the Kaufbeuren Eisbären, also of the DEL2 league. The move comes as the Eislöwen struggle at the bottom of the DEL (Deutsche Eishockey Liga) standings.
According to Eislöwen Managing Director, Martin Baxmann, “Travis has left a significant mark in Dresden – we thank him for that and wish him all the best for his new challenge in Kaufbeuren.”
Turnbull expressed his gratitude for his time in Dresden, stating, “I am incredibly grateful for my time in Dresden. The support of the fans, the people at the club, and the experiences we shared – especially the championship – I will never forget. dresden will always hold a special place in my heart. Thank you for everything.”
Eislöwen Face Continued Challenges
Turnbull is the third notable player to depart the Eislöwen prematurely this season, following defenseman Tariq Hammond (now with the Düsseldorfer EG) and forward Andrew Yogan, who joined Stavanger Oilers in Norway. The departures raise concerns about the stability of the team, currently last in the DEL standings.
The Eislöwen have eight DEL games remaining. Their next match is Wednesday, February 25th, against league-leading Kölner Haie (Cologne Sharks). The team aims to finish their inaugural DEL season with a respectable performance despite their challenging position.
