In 2021, Maximilian Streule was drafted by the Winnipeg Ice and subsequently went overseas to join the WHL-team. Earlier this season, he was acquired by the QMJHL's Blainville-Boisbriand Armada. As HC Fribourg-Gottéron has now announced, the defenseman will return to Switzerland in summer to play for them for the next two years.

"We believe in his enormous potential and are delighted that he has chosen Fribourg. We will do everything we can to shape Maximilian into a top National League defenseman."
