Overview
- EHC Red Bull München announced on Friday that Dominik Kahun has terminated his contract with Lausanne HC and will rejoin the club after eight years abroad.
- Kahun described the move as a homecoming and said it will let him settle his family in Munich; he married last summer and the couple expect their first child in August 2026.
- The 30-year-old forward won three straight German championships with München from 2016–2018 and played 188 NHL games for Chicago, Pittsburgh, Buffalo and Edmonton before returning to Europe in 2021.
- Red Bull manager Christian Winkler said the club kept contact over the years and activated all levers to secure Kahun’s early release, signaling a push to add veteran offensive leadership.
- The signing follows a low point for Kahun at the ongoing World Championship, where Germany exited in the preliminary round and he recorded no points, and it arrives as München looks to regain its edge after a recent playoff loss.
