Wohlgemuth's move to Augsburg: Ice hockey future very close!
Tim Wohlgemuth, who moved from Cologne to Augsburg in the summer, is one of the most experienced players in the German Ice Hockey League (DEL). He is now playing in his eighth year in this top-class league and has already experienced exciting highs and some lows in his career. In his first months in Augsburg, Wohlgemuth had positive experiences with his new surroundings, like this Augsburg Journal reported. The Landsberg native grew up in Kaufbeuren and found his way to ice hockey early on after learning about the talents of his own game when coach Larry Mitchell was watching during a DNL game.
During his time in Cologne, Wohlgemuth was even able to celebrate runner-up status. He describes the playoffs as extremely intense and nerve-racking. Now at the Augsburg Panthers, the proximity to home was a decisive factor for him in the move. He was also attracted by the positive atmosphere in the city, Wohlgemuth continued.
The team and the new challenge
The player also shared his impressions of the new coaching team. He finds both Bill Peters and Thomas Dolak to be very competent. A harmonious team is essential for him, but he is aware that all professionals should be able to deal with different characters and playing styles. Wohlgemuth is quite satisfied with the current season, but still sees room for improvement in the team dynamic.
His playing style is characterized by speed, creativity and a strong understanding of the game, which makes him a valuable player for the Panthers. The games in the Curt Frenzel Stadium are always an emotional highlight for him, which both enhances his performance on the ice and can be challenging.
Future plans and personal interests
When one day he hangs up his skates, Wohlgemuth is thinking about continuing his studies — either in civil engineering or industrial engineering. But he is not yet entirely sure what will happen next for him after his active career. He is also a passionate player of “city – country – river” and has an amazing memory for rivers, which was passed down to him from his mother.
Ice hockey itself has a long history in Germany and has been organized in the DEL since 1994. The league emerged from the former Bundesliga and has since become strongly established, among other things by naming the teams after animals. The Kölner Haie secured their first DEL championship title in 1995, while the Eisbären Berlin are still the record champions with a total of eight titles. More information about the championships and statistics in the DEL can be found at Ice hockey statistics.
Wooden hockey is a full-contact sport that is extremely popular not only in Germany, but also in Canada and the USA. The roots go back to the 19th century, with the first official game in Montreal in 1875. The rules are complex, with each team having a total of six players on the ice. If you would like to find out more about the style of play and its origins, you can take a look at Wikipedia.
With an exciting season ahead of him and the new challenge in Augsburg, Tim Wohlgemuth is ideally equipped to lead the team to success. We can't wait to see how his career develops and what adventures await him on the ice.
