Baden-Württemberg: Bietigheim Steelers get ice hockey striker Lindner

Bietigheim (dpa/lsw) - The Bietigheim Steelers have signed 21-year-old Elias Lindner for the coming season in the German Ice Hockey League (DEL). The striker changes from runner-up EHC Red Bull Munich to the Swabians. "Elias is a highly trained player with leadership qualities," said coach Daniel Naud in a statement from the Steelers on Tuesday. "He wasn't captain of the U18 and U19 national teams for nothing. He has the opportunity to become a strong power forward with us."
