The former ice hockey professional takes over the sporting management of the newly promoted DEL team Dresden. Jens Baxmann succeeds Matthias Roos.

Former ice hockey professional Jens Baxmann is to become the new sports director at the newly promoted DEL team Dresdner Eislöwen. As the club announced, the 40-year-old is moving immediately from the second-division ice hockey club Lausitzer Füchse to the Elbe and signing a three-year contract.

Baxmann succeeds Matthias Roos, who was relieved of his duties as sporting director of the bottom-of-the-table team in November following the departure of coach Niklas Sundblad.

Baxmann played 939 games as a defenseman for Eisbären Berlin and Iserlohn Roosters in the German Ice Hockey League between 2003 and 2022 and made 39 appearances for the German national team. He celebrated seven German championship titles with the Berliners until 2019.

Baxmann moved from the DEL to the Lausitzer Füchse in DEL2 for the 2021/22 season. However, a serious eye injury forced him to end his active career prematurely in January 2022. He then initially took on the position of sports consultant with the Lausitzers before becoming sports director in Weißwasser after completing a part-time distance learning course in sports management. The contract with the second division club has now been terminated by mutual agreement.

"We are facing a challenging task in Dresden, where we clearly have to map out two sporting planning scenarios in the coming weeks. As a player myself in Iserlohn, I experienced what it means to throw everything into the balance to stay in the league," said Baxmann. The promoted team from Dresden is currently 13 points behind penultimate-placed Frankfurt after 36 games.
