Maximilian Faber leaves the huskies: away to Düsseldorf free!

Kassel, Deutschland - Maximilian Faber switches to Düsseldorfer eG

The ice hockey world in Germany experiences another exciting transfer with the change from Maximilian Faber to Düsseldorfer eG. The top defender, who has played for the Kassel Huskies in the past three years, signed a contract with the Rhinelander and will lace up the ice skates there from summer. [HNA] reports that Faber originally had a contract with the Huskies by 2026, but had to learn from those responsible that there is no more space for him in the team.

### A farewell full of emotions

Faber said that he would have liked to stay in Kassel. Despite a good relationship with coach Todd Woodcroft, he never had the feeling that he really became familiar. Last season Faber came to 30 scorer points in 54 missions - a statistical decline that he himself described as his weakest season. He saw adaptations to a new, more defensive system as a big challenge. According to Faber, he did not take the harsh criticism from social media very seriously, but focused on the successful time in the Huskies with the main round championship title and the playoff final.

The pride of the past time in Kassel does not mean that the future goals should be less ambitious. Faber sees Düsseldorf as a traditional club with clear ambitions and strives to get at least among the top six of the DEL2 in the coming season.

### A look at the statistics

Faber can look back on an impressive career. In the last four DEL2 games, he was the best defender three times. Before his time in Kassel, he was captain of the Löwen Frankfurt, with whom he won the DEL2 championship. In total, he has already completed 319 games in the DEL2 and achieved 213 scorer points. [Kassel Huskies] emphasizes that Faber is considered one of the best defenders in the league and not only noticed in the past season because of his achievements, but also his positive attitude.

### What does the huskies come in in Kassel?

With the departure of Faber, the huskies not only lose a strong defender, but also have to separate from other key players. Simon Thiel and Oleg Tschwanow will also no longer appear for the huskies. Thiel scored 16 points in 55 games, while Tschwanow collected 14 points in 102 missions. Furthermore, Brent also leaves Davis, the team supervisor and equipment manager. In the future, he will work for the Straubing Tigers, which means a further change for the huskies.

The Kassel Huskies will have to prepare intensively for the new season, especially in such a competitive environment as the DEL2, in which everyone can be decisive.

In Düsseldorfer eG, Faber is now part of a team that can book numerous entrances in the coming season and is therefore striving to get up again in the DEL2. The new season also includes Michael Clarke, Moritz Kukuk as well as Leon Niederberger and Ryan Olsen. [RP Online] reports on the change of trainers and squad that could ensure an exciting and unpredictable season.

### A personal new beginning

Faber itself also has private changes. He is looking forward to the birth of his second child in August and sees a family -friendly environment in Düsseldorf. While his professional and personal life situation is developing, it remains to be seen how his career will develop at Düsseldorfer eG. The “miracle of Düsseldorf” could be the beginning of something very big for Faber and his team.
