Baden Bruins hockey team needs players

MANNHEIM, Germany — The Baden Bruins Army hockey team is looking for new players to not only defend their Division I title, but help fill their recent expansion team — the Province Bruins.

For the 2010/2011 DPL ice hockey season, the Baden Bruins added a second team to their organization to play in the DPL 4th Division. 

Ken Robinson, a member of the Bruins, said there was a distinct need to expand the organization to include not only skilled Army hockey players, but to recruit players at all levels interested in playing the sport.

“By doing this, we are providing a great opportunity for guys to learn the sport, develop and possibly make the first team,” Robinson said. “It was time we established a farm team so that all Soldiers have a chance to participate.”

The Bruins have a history of winning titles and finishing at the top of the league. They won both the Division I and DPL Cup inline titles last year, as well as making it to the Division I ice hockey finals.

The Bruins’ tradition is still alive for the newly formed Province Bruins. Currently, the Province Bruins (PBruins) are seeded first in the 4th division, having not lost a single game all season. The PBruins look to do the same for the upcoming DPL inline season, but are in need of players.

The Bruins are coached by ex-Hartford Whaler Bob Sullivan and German national player Volker Lindenzweig. Inline season begins April 1.
