Boston Bruins prospect has left the organization after one season
After spending only one season in North America, Boston Bruins prospect Kai Wissmann has decided to leave the organization and is returning home to Germany.
On Thursday, Wissmann's former club, Eisbaren Berlin, announced that they've signed the blueliner to a long-term contract, but didn't specify on how many years.
Note: the following quote is translated from German.
"During my time in the AHL, I noticed more and more how much I missed the atmosphere in the different DEL arenas. Especially at our home games in the Mercedes-Benz Arena. I'm really looking forward to hearing the whole arena sing our polar bear song again before we enter through the polar bear's head. When I think about it, I'm already motivated again for the coming season. It feels like coming home to me. Berlin is a great city," Wissmann said.
The 26-year-old spent his entire season in the American Hockey League with the Providence Bruins, recording nine points (one goal, eight assists), 18 penalty minutes and was a plus-five in 31 games.
After his season was over, Wissmann joined up with the German National Team for the 2023 IIHF World Hockey Championship, helping his country bring home their first medal at the tournament since 1953.
