Former NHL player Ryan Murphy and the two German U20 national players Philipp Krening and Phillip Sinn will be wearing the Münchner jersey next season.

The Red Bulls' squad planning for the 2025/26 season continues to make great progress. Following the signings of Brady Ferguson, Jeremy McKenna, and Luis Schinko, EHC Red Bull München is proud to announce three more new additions, all of whom were part of this year's championship-winning team from Salzburg in the ICE Hockey League.

Winkler: “We are delighted to be able to keep all three in our organization.”

Christian Winkler, Managing Director Sports Red Bull Ice Hockey: “Ryan Murphy was perhaps the best player in the ICE Hockey League. His skill set is exceptional. He is a winner who played a major role in Salzburg's championships. Phillip Sinn and Philipp Krening, who have both already played for München, have developed tremendously and are ready for the next step. Sinn has been a real factor for Salzburg in the playoffs over the past two years. Krening also put in some strong performances last season. We are delighted to be able to keep all three in our organization.”

With Ryan Murphy, EHC Red Bull München gains defensive experience from 175 NHL games for its squad, among other things.
