Highlights: Promotion coach Dominik Quinlan will leave EHC Klostersee after seven years. The 34-year-old will remain with the club as head coach for the 2023/24 season. He will also be responsible for contract talks, player contact and league meetings. The new head coach will take up his new role in the summer of 2023, when the new season begins. The EHC will then look for a replacement for Quinlan, who has been at the club since 2008.

Grafing – At least since the thawing of the ice rink in the Wildbräu Arena, the rumor mill has been boiling around the EHC Klostersee. This year, after staying in the Oberliga Süd at the green table and the subsequent announcement of voluntary withdrawal from the third division, a little more, and not only in terms of player departures, commitments and coaches.

As the ice hockey club from Grafing has now announced, the job of head coach will be reassigned for the coming 2023/24 season. Dominik Quinlan is leaving the bench after seven very successful years (and before that one with the EHC U23s), but will remain with the Red and Whites and will move to the position of sporting director within the coaching staff in the future.

"Dominik has done an enormous job and led the team back there from the bottom after leaving the Oberliga in 2016. He grew up here and initially grew up as a player at the club and, despite his young age, has also established himself as a boss on the board," emphasised president Sascha Kaefer. The EHC boss went on to explain that Quinlan knew the possibilities at the EHC and was therefore also an ideal person in his future field of work.

It's certainly not bad for the players if they see something different in training and coaching.

After the early end of his active career due to injury, the 34-year-old father of two seamlessly changed fronts, led the Grafingers back up from the district league in record time and celebrated a huge success as an ice hockey coach with the surprising Bayernliga championship 2021/22.

The former head coach is already in the middle of his new task, which he had recently largely completed "on the side" - in addition to his professional activities outside the club. "I've always enjoyed doing it very intensively, but up to six days a week in the ice rink also costs a lot of energy and even more time. And it's certainly not bad for the players if they see something different in training and coaching," said Dominik Quinlan, explaining the move away from "day-to-day business".

He will continue to be very close to the action as sporting director with responsibility for contract talks, player scouting, preparation programme, association contact and league meetings ("simply everything organisational"). "Just no longer feels like several hours every day in the dressing room or on the ice."

The first task in a new position at the Klosterseer is to fill the head coach position vacated by Quinlan - and thus the search for his own successor. Together with the board of directors, he has already done a lot of preparatory work, as he revealed when asked: "The talks are already well advanced and I think we will soon be able to present the candidate."
