On Monday evening German time, the wires were glowing. After it became known that Christian Ehrhoff would not play for the Boston Bruins in the NHL next season and had started his journey home to Germany, the media and Fans There is a lot of discussion, particularly on social networks, about where the national player might end up in the future. The fact is that several top teams from Germany and Europe have put out feelers for the defender, even if Ehrhoff does not want to comment publicly on this at the moment. Telekomeishockey.de spoke exclusively to the 862-time NHL player.
Christian, where are you right now?
I landed in Düsseldorf very early on Tuesday morning from Boston, was briefly at home in Krefeld to pack a few things and then drove to Holland to visit my family, who are spending the autumn break there. I haven't seen my wife or children since I started preparing for the Olympic qualification in mid-August. I'm now very happy to be able to gather new strength for a few days after a very short summer and the two tournaments with the national team in Riga and the European team in Toronto.
Since Monday there has been a lot of public speculation about where Christian Ehrhoff's path will lead in the future.
I have already said that there will be no new water level reports until I return next weekend. I am of course aware that people are now speculating. But I don't participate in speculation.
In other words: Is a DEL return conceivable?
(laughs). Everything is conceivable. So also a return to the DEL. Everything has to be right, my family has to support the decision 100 percent. That's the most important thing for me.
