EV Landshut strengthens defense: Martin Haš comes with a one-two chance!

The ice hockey world in Germany never sleeps, and EV Landshut proved that with its latest signing: Martin Haš is moving from HC Litvinov in the Czech Republic to Landshut. The 24-year-old defender, who is already 1.94 meters tall, signed a contract until the summer of 2026. Haš, who was on loan to second division club Pirati Chomutov last season, recorded one assist in nine games. He was also active in the Czech Extraliga, where he played six games and also collected one assist. This reports Ice Hockey Magazine.

As sporting director Max Brandl explains, Martin Haš should give EV Landshut's defense more stability. The Prague native brings international experience with him - after his stints in Finland, Canada and the USA, he was on the ice in a total of 116 games in the ECHL for the South Carolina Stingrays and Fort Wayne Komets. He was also able to set an offensive tone with four goals and 15 assists. Interestingly, Haš was selected 153rd overall by the Washington Capitals in the NHL Entry Draft in 2019, but has not yet played a single game in the National Hockey League. This is done by Ice Hockey News supplemented.

View of German passport

What is particularly interesting is the prospect that Haš may soon receive a German passport. This would mean that he would not count as a contingent player for the team, which would give EV Landshut the opportunity to sign another import player. Brandl expresses optimism that the formalities for the German passport can be completed in the near future.

For Haš himself, the move to Landshut is an exciting step. He has great ambitions and sees the chance to get into the playoffs with a strong team. His performances in recent seasons make it clear that he has the potential to play an important role in the EV Landshut squad as it prepares for the 2025/26 DEL2 season.

The ice hockey parlor and more

In the past, the German Ice Hockey League (DEL), the top ice hockey league in Germany, has constantly developed since its founding in 1994. It has replaced the ice hockey Bundesliga and is managed by its own operating company. What is striking is that many of the participating clubs have had animal names since 1994, similar to those in the NHL. The Eisbären Berlin are the record champions of the DEL with eight championship titles, followed by the Adler Mannheim with seven titles. This information is on Ice hockey statistics to find and show the long and proud tradition of German ice hockey.

The fans can look forward to the coming season and to a player who wants to strengthen EV Landshut's defense. We are excited to see how Haš will perform in the league and what role he can take on in the team. Because with him an exciting season could be on the horizon, which increases the expectations of the team.
