Spink Twins Join Dresdner Eislöwen on Two-Year Deals Covering DEL or DEL2

The move signals Dresden's intent during a DEL licensing process that will determine its tier next season.

Overview

  • The transfer, announced Monday by both clubs, brings longtime Schwenningen forwards Tylor and Tyson Spink to Dresden.
  • Each player signed a two-year contract that is valid for either Germany’s top league (DEL) or the second tier (DEL2), giving Dresden roster certainty regardless of placement.
  • Dresden’s league for next season remains unresolved as licensing and financial checks continue, with reports focusing on whether Krefeld Pinguine can meet DEL requirements.
  • Schwenningen CEO Stefan Wagner said the club could not offer the twins a reliable sporting perspective, which he cited as a key reason for their departure.
  • The brothers carry strong DEL résumés (Tyson: 282 games, 109 goals, 96 assists; Tylor: 292 games, 71 goals, 136 assists), and local reports note Dresden’s history of helping imports gain German passports to free up limited foreign-player slots.
