Sven Felski Steps Down From Eisbären Juniors Leadership

The club created a reduced‑hours Head of Sales role to retain his sponsor network while he recovers from a reported eye infarct.

Overview

  • The Eisbären announced that Felski resigned as Vorstandsvorsitzender and Geschäftsführer of the Eisbären Juniors, a change the club made public on Monday.
  • He will remain with Eisbären Berlin in a newly created Head of Sales position and work a reduced schedule focused on sponsorship, strategic partners and network maintenance.
  • Multiple outlets report Felski suffered an eye infarct months earlier, a retinal vascular event that can cause blindness without treatment, though the club has not named a specific diagnosis.
  • Felski said he is on the road to recovery and the club thanked him for 13 years leading the Juniors while stressing that his health is the priority.
  • Under Felski’s leadership the Juniors became one of Germany’s top youth programs, and keeping him in a commercial role aims to preserve funding and continuity for the academy.
