The SC Riessersee has again increased its offensive.
Nick Endress is returning from Pfaffenhofen to the top division ice hockey team.
The striker should not remain the last reinforcement.
Garmisch-Partenkirchen -
Sometimes it just doesn't go up the first time.
This is often the case with first attempts.
Then there are several options: give up, persevere, or take a break and then try again.
Nick Endress chose the latter.
Bayernliga player of the 2019/2020 season
The 23-year-old returns to SC Riessersee and makes his second attempt.
His first ended after the 2016/2017 DEL2 season.
Actually, Endress, who had gone through all the junior teams of the White-Blue, was supposed to stay with the then cooperation partner EC Peiting and play as a promotional license player for the SCR.
But the change broke shortly before the season and the Riesserseer also had no use for Endress.
“That was a difficult time, a lot didn't go well, including for me.
That wasn't me at the time, ”he sums up today.
The Garmisch-Partenkirchner decided to take a break from ice hockey.
A year later he hit EC Pfaffenhofen in the state league and a.
He was promoted directly to the Bayernliga with the ECP and contributed 42 scorer points (26 goals / 16 assists) in 24 games in the 2019/2020 season.
With that he got the title of the best player of the season, awarded by “Ice Hockey News”.
“I found my old ice hockey again in Pfaffenhofen.” Looking back, Endress thinks that “maybe everything should turn out exactly as it was.” Because today he is no longer the same as he was in 2017. “I have matured quite a bit.
Everyone has to grow up sometime, ”he says with a smile.
Managing director convinced of the new attacker
With this new maturity he sees himself able to convince in the big leagues.
SCR Managing Director Pana Christakakis also emphasizes that he has what it takes: “He was able to play ice hockey even then.
Now he has developed further and was part of all special teams in Pfaffenhofen.
It would have been brutally negligent if we hadn't brought in such a local player. ”Fast legs, good hands and knowing where the goal is, is how Christakakis describes the new striker.
There was already interest in the summer
Endress can prove all of this in training from today and maybe on Friday against EV Füssen.
He should be eligible to play until then, whether he also accumulates is in the hands of coach George Kink.
But one shouldn't expect too much at the beginning of Endress.
“He's only just recovered from an injury.
If we give him two to four weeks, he will prove what he can do.
I am absolutely convinced of that, ”emphasizes Christakakis.
He would have liked to greet Endress at the SCR in the summer, but when the request came, the attacker was already standing at the ECP.
Now, in this case, the white-blue played Corona and the season cancellation of the Bayernliga into the cards.
Positive tested player still in quarantine
Speaking of Corona: The SCR player, who initially tested positive and then negative for the virus, is still in quarantine and may leave it from tomorrow.
There is no confirmation of whether the result was a false positive.
There is positive news from Christian Schneider.
The injured goalie is working on his comeback soon.
“It's getting better every day.
But it will be two more weeks before he can play again, ”says Christakakis.
For the upcoming games against Füssen on Friday and in Regensburg on Sunday, the managing director is in good spirits that Daniel Allavena from EHC Munich can stand in the can.
Further reinforcement for the defensive in prospect
In addition, Christakakis is busy signing further reinforcements for the tight defensive.
He hopes to be able to announce news on this point later this week.
