Julian Eichinger stays: Key player of the Towerstars goes into season five!
The Ravensburg Towerstars can announce good news: Julian Eichinger will remain loyal to the team in the coming season. The 32-year-old defender is entering his fifth season with the Towerstars and has signed a contract for the 2024/2025 season. This was officially confirmed by those responsible at the club today. The screen newspaper reports that Eichinger can look back on an impressive 670 second division games in the DEL2 and has already played for four clubs in his career so far: Hannover, SC Riessersee, Kaufbeuren and Ravensburg.
With the Towerstars, Eichinger has so far scored 20 goals and provided 136 assists in 239 competitive games. This consistently strong performance has made him a key defensive player. Last season he was in the top ten of the DEL2 defender statistics and collected a total of 31 scorer points. He also won the DEL2 championship title with the team the previous season and was runner-up in the previous two years. Towerstars.de emphasizes that Eichinger enjoys the trust of sporting director Marius Riedel despite a serious upper body injury that sidelined him at the end of last season. Riedel firmly believes in a return to Eichinger's best form.
Family and future
The personal connection to Ravensburg seems to play an important role for Eichinger. In a statement he emphasized that he and his family feel comfortable in the city. “I would like to contribute to improving the coming season,” said Eichinger. The pressure is high because the club is aiming for direct playoff qualification. Head coach Bo Subr praises Eichinger's continued improvement in performance and his leadership qualities, which are of great value to the younger players.
The Towerstars, founded in 1881, understand the important role of a strong defender and are confident that Eichinger will contribute to the stability and strength of the defense. Next season they will be hunting for points again in the CHG Arena. Last season, the team came third in the main round and reached the final of the DEL2 playoffs, where they lost to the Dresden Eislöwen in the decisive game after extra time. Icehockey.net reports that the club has decided against promotion to the DEL due to economic conditions.
Overall, the Ravensburg Towerstars show that by retaining Julian Eichinger they are not only relying on experience, but also on strong team dynamics. Fans can look forward to the coming season and an exciting ice hockey year in 2024/2025.
