A player from the Bundesliga team EHC Red Bull Munich, Julian Lutz, is set to join the North American professional league NHL. The club made the announcement on Monday, confirming that Lutz has signed his first NHL professional contract. The 20-year-old will be hunting for goals with the new NHL team in Utah in the upcoming season.

Lutz took his first steps into hockey at the age of twelve when he became a member of the Red Bull Ice Hockey Academy. Since then, he has played in the junior teams of the Red Bulls, German U-National teams, and the Munich club's professional team, all while gaining recognition for his exceptional skills.
