In 2010, he left the Frankfurt Lions to join fellow DEL side Hamburg Freezers and developed into an integral part of the side over the years. In 2015-16, which turned out to be the last season of the Hamburg team, he scored 21 goals in 52 regular season contests along with 13 assists, while serving as an assistant captain.
