Court Order Clears John Bryant’s Move to Eisbären Bremerhaven

An emergency labor-court ruling compels Syntainics MBC to issue a transfer release, leaving severance terms for a later proceeding.

Overview

  • Syntainics MBC confirmed it will complete the veteran center’s transfer to second-tier Eisbären Bremerhaven after receiving the court order.
  • A judge at the Halle labor court granted an immediate release in an expedited hearing designed to beat the February 15 registration deadline.
  • MBC had suspended the 38-year-old in mid-January over alleged lapses in professionalism and cooperation, prompting Bryant to file for continued employment.
  • The ruling addressed only player mobility and did not determine any severance payment, which remains before the court.
  • Bryant said he is relieved to return to play, Bremerhaven coach Steven Esterkamp welcomed his experience, and the player joined training on Thursday.
