Paul Mayer will stay until 2028: a bearer of hope for ESV Kaufbeuren!
Today, December 24th, 2025, ESV Kaufbeuren made an important decision for the coming seasons. The club can rely on the talented defender Paul Mayer until at least the end of the 2027/28 season. The 20-year-old Paul Mayer, who is one of the youngest players in the ESVK squad, will play a central role in the coming seasons. Together with Patrick Reimer, the ESVK's sporting director, he is optimistic about the future.
Paul Mayer has already been on the ice in all 27 competitive games for ESV Kaufbeuren this season. His statistics are impressive: he scored two goals and contributed six assists, giving him a plus/minus balance of +4. Reimer praised Mayer's talent and his development within the team, which looks promising not only for the current season but also for the next few years. Ice Hockey News reports that after his return to ESVK, where he celebrated his professional debut in 2021/2022, Mayer is now approaching the task of helping his home club with full motivation.
A look back at Mayer's development
Paul Mayer, who was born in Kaufbeuren, can look back on an impressive career that led him to the Adler Mannheim. In the last three years he not only made 59 appearances for the Jungadler Mannheim in the DNL, but also gained experience in the DEL, where he played 16 games for the Adler Mannheim. He also played 23 times in the DEL2 for the Bietigheim Steelers and 33 times for the Heilbronner Falken. The DEL2 emphasizes that this path ideally prepared Mayer for his return to the ESVK.
Although ESV Kaufbeuren is currently bottom of the table in the DEL2, the signing of Mayer shows that the club has a clear plan for its future. Mayer will wear jersey number 5 and enjoys a U21 development contract, which makes him a long-term solution for the ESVK defense.
Changes in the coaching staff
Another important news concerns the coaching staff: Assistant coach Andreas Becherer will face new challenges in the coming season and will therefore no longer work at ESVK. Becherer was previously head coach of the U20 team for 1.5 years and provided valuable service to the club. The ESVK would like to thank him very much for his work and wishes him all the best for the future.
The German Ice Hockey League 2 (DEL2), in which ESV Kaufbeuren plays, has evolved since it was founded in 2013. With 14 teams in the 2023/2024 season, the league promises to remain exciting in the future. ESV Kaufbeuren has a proud history and is considered the record champions of the 2nd Ice Hockey Bundesliga. This background not only creates pressure, but also incentive for the team to achieve more this season. Ice hockey statistics provides information about the league's previous successes and development.
Overall, ESV Kaufbeuren is facing an important time in which young talents like Paul Mayer can be crucial to the team's success. It will be exciting to see how things develop and whether the club can regain its old strength next season.
