Memmingen signs Justus Roth after Paterson Jones debacle!
On July 20, 2025, the Memmingen Indians will have to make a change to the goalkeeper position. Michael Paterson-Jones, who was originally supposed to move from the Höchstadt Alligators to Memmingen, has canceled due to a hip injury and will be out for several months. This was confirmed by allgaeuhit.de.
The 25-year-old goalkeeper was unable to start his newly signed contract due to his injury. In order to prepare the team for the challenges ahead, those responsible for the Indians and Paterson-Jones agreed to a mutual termination of the contract. Paterson-Jones will now concentrate on his healing process at home.
A new keeper for the Indians
To compensate for the loss of Paterson-Jones, the Memmingen Indians have signed Justus Roth, a talented 20-year-old goalkeeper from Essen. Roth, a native of Karlsruhe, started his career in the youth teams of the Jungadler Mannheim and moved to the Moskitos in Essen at the age of 18. Last season he made a name for himself with 36 appearances as a starting goalkeeper and was even named “Rookie of the Year” in the north. The special thing: The club from Essen does not have a major league license, which made Roth available. In Memmingen he will wear the number 1 shirt.
In addition to Roth, the goalkeeper team will be strengthened by Louis Eisenhut, 21 years old. Eisenhut came from Deggendorf last season and was able to gain experience in seven games for the Indians. Given the current situation, those responsible are now looking for a partner to give Eisenhut more match practice in the Bayernliga.
The development in the major league
The changes in the goalkeeper position are not the only news from the Oberliga Süd. [eishockeynews.de]. The Tölzer Löwen signed Toms Prokopovics, a player with impressive statistics from the Bayernliga. Meanwhile, the Eisbären Regensburg have the same thing to report on the departures side, where several players have left the club.
Ice hockey in the region is in for a lot of movement, and the Memmingen Indians seem well equipped to fight for the upcoming championship goals. It remains to be seen how the team will perform under these new circumstances.
