Now it's all about getting to know the guys in the team. I've already had a bit of contact with Adam Brooks, he's a friend of a friend. The main goal is clear: I want to help the team win, no matter what.
Christian Winkler, Managing Director Sports Red Bull Ice Hockey: “Taro is a strong winger who has his strengths both in 5-on-5 and in the special teams. At 28, he is at a very good age to start a long-term career in Europe.”
