Adler Mannheim brings in US star Anthony Greco – a new bearer of hope!
The ice hockey world does not stand still: On July 15, 2025, the Adler Mannheim announced an exciting new addition. The 31-year-old US striker Anthony Greco is moving from a club in the Swiss National League to the Adler and will be given a two-year contract there. His last appearance took place at EHC Biel, where he scored 15 points in 24 games and was among the team's top ten scorers.
This commitment is no coincidence. Sports manager and head coach Dallas Eakins is enthusiastic about Greco's speed, leadership qualities and outstanding work ethic. “We showed a good hand there,” you could say, because Mannheim is not only a new challenge for Greco, but also his first stop in Germany. He previously gained experience in the KHL with Tolyatti, where he contributed one goal and three assists in 19 games.
Changes at the Cologne Sharks
In the shadow of this innovation there is also news from Cologne: Josh Currie leaves the Kölner Haie after just one year. During his time he played 65 games in which he scored 17 goals and 13 assists. The next stage of his career takes him to the Graz 99ers in the ICE Hockey League. It's an exciting time for the player who wants to prove himself in a new league.
Meanwhile, the Adler Mannheim are preparing for the challenges ahead and will soon compete against the ZSC Lions from Zurich. Last year the team successfully played a test against EHC Biel, where they fought back from a 3-0 deficit and won 5-4 after extra time. Such experiences could strengthen morale and cohesion in the team and prepare them well for the new season.
The coming period therefore promises not only sporting highlights, but also unforgettable moments for the fans of both teams. With a breath of fresh air in Mannheim and personnel changes in Cologne, ice hockey remains exciting in the region. It remains to be seen how these changes will affect on-ice performance.
