Fresh Air for the Blue Devils Invasion: The Blue Devils Weiden are again strengthening their squad. Striker Neil Samanski is heading to the Upper Palatinate from DEL club Iserlohn Roosters. With this transfer, the Weiden company is already focusing on the coming years. The 22-year-old freshman said of his goals at his new club, “I want to go too far in the playoffs with the team and bring some scoring to my game that I couldn’t show in the last year and a half.” “I had a good conversation with coach Ken Latta.
