It is the big dream for every young ice hockey player: making it to the National Hockey League (NHL) or the step into Germany's highest league, the German Ice Hockey League (DEL). It's a long way to go, but if you have enough talent and commitment, you can achieve these goals. No one knows this better than the players of the German national ice hockey team. Each of them started small - with their first attempts at skating on the ice, their first ice hockey game or their first goal or save. In the #homevisit series, the national players return to the place where they experienced exactly these events and pass on their tips and tricks to young ice hockey talents.
In the third edition, national ice hockey player Dominik Kahun returns to Weiden. He was active there on the ice as a junior student between 2005 and 2007. Even back then, the future NHL player was a real goal guarantor: Weiden's junior students often won their games on the small field by double digits - but only because Dominik Kahun put the puck in the goal time and again. There are no statistics about his time in the Weiden jersey, but his achievements in Young Talent and of course his later successes with the national team and the EHC Red Bull München are more present in the Upper Palatinate than ever. That's why the silver hero, who will start his NHL adventure in Chicago in the coming months, was invited back to Weiden before his departure.
Dominik Kahun was ready at the 25th children's citizens' festival in the Max-Reger-Park for autograph and photo-demands, has met some Weidener Young Talent players and returned to the ice stadium, in which he once as a small school student for the Young Blue Devils Weiden went hunting for goals.
