Christian Winkler, Managing Director Sports Red Bull Ice Hockey: "Our top priority is the coaching decision for the coming season. We are not aiming for the quickest decision, but the best one for the club. Together with the coaching team for the next season, we will then also discuss and decide on the retention of one or two players for the 2024/25 season. The Red Bulls organization would like to expressly thank all the players in the current squad, the coaches and the entire functional team for their commitment and performance. We wish all those who will no longer be active for us in the coming season all the best and every success in their sporting and private lives."
