Quick return

Ice hockey league team SC Riessersee strengthened again shortly before the away game at Höchstadter EC.

Defender Silvan Heiß returns from Dresden and is directly eligible to play.

Garmisch-Partenkirchen -

If two parties are far away from each other, it is often advisable to choose the meeting point halfway.

Well, in the following case it's pure coincidence, but it fits.

The SC Riessersee is challenged this Tuesday (7.30 p.m.) at the Höchstadter EC.

Getting there: three hours and 17 minutes.

Dresden is three hours and 15 minutes away from Höchstadt.

And that's exactly where Silvan He comes from.

The name should be familiar to most SCR connoisseurs, as the defender did not leave the white-blue team until the summer for Dresden Ice Lions.

But the 23-year-old didn't find happiness at the DEL2 club.

The trainer was replaced at the end of 2020, and the new coach continued to rely on the experienced players.

He quickly realized that he would no longer get the ice age he wanted.

Then some offers from the Oberliga Süd came in, including the one from Garmisch-Partenkirchen.

The decision was made quickly and easily.

“I have confidence in the SCR, I know all the people, many players, and I know what makes the coach and the managing director tick.” In addition, he can be sure to get what he was missing in Dresden: a lot of ice age.

Because defenders are rare at the Riesserseern.

On paper there are now seven with hot, but Tobias Möller and Philipp Wachter are currently injured.

He is already wearing the white and blue jersey again against Höchstadt.

Not for the first time this season, as he stepped in for the SCR at a preparatory tournament in Dresden.

So basically he was never really gone.

The contact never broke off anyway.

Coach George Kink and Managing Director Pana Christakakis kept asking how he was in Dresden.

He also had the first messages quickly on his cell phone.

Luca Allavena, Eetu-Ville Arkiomaa and Uli Maurer had congratulated him on his return.

So he knows everything very well - player, coach, system, everything around.

But one thing is new: his shirt number.

So far he always had the four on the shirt at SCR, but that is no longer available this season.

His cousin Marcus Weber had worn them during his interlude in Garmisch-Partenkirchen at the beginning of the season.

The number may not be assigned a second time within a season.

Hot now switches to 44.

“That's okay as long as the four stays in the family,” emphasizes the left-handed shooter with a laugh.

How long it will appear again in white and blue is still questionable.

His contract with SCR will run until the end of the season.

What happens after that?

Wait.

“First of all, I'm happy to be back.

When there is some peace and quiet, I start thinking about the future. ”At least as much, he reveals:“ After an attempt in DEL2, I won't say: That's now ticked off.

Everyone wants to play ice hockey as high as possible. "
