Straubing Tigers sign Norway's top goalkeeper Henrik Haukeland!
The Straubing Tigers have a new star in their kitty: Henrik Haukeland will guard the Tigers' goal from the coming 2025/26 season. The 30-year-old Norwegian is not only an experienced goalkeeper, but also brings a wealth of international experience that should be of great benefit to the Tigers. Haukeland, who comes from Fredrikstad in Norway, has already played in several top European leagues such as the SHL, the Liiga and the PENNY DEL in his career and, at 188 cm, is quite a presence in goal.
The new keeper can boast an impressive resume. Most recently he stood between the posts for Düsseldorfer EG and had already proven at EHC Munich that he can take on the biggest challenges. At international level, he has represented Norway at the World Championships and the 2018 Olympics. That makes him a valuable addition to the Tigers, who want to build on him to shine next season.

His statistics speak for themselves: He played in a total of 179 games in the PENNY DEL. He could continue these past successes in Straubing, where he will wear shirt number 40.

Another career highlight was his time at Düsseldorfer EG, where he shone with an outstanding goal-against average in his final season and was also named DEL goalkeeper of the year there. That speaks for his great talent and his class. But he has not only shown his skills at club level; he has also gained experience with the senior national team at several World Cups and the Winter Olympics.
Working with the Tigers
The anticipation of working with Haukeland is great. Jason Dunham, the sporting director of the Straubing Tigers, emphasized the stability and game intelligence of the new goalkeeper in an initial statement. “With Henrik, we have signed a player who knows exactly how to compete on the big international stage,” explains Dunham. This is a good reason to look positively into the future!
Overall, it is expected that Henri Haukeland will not only strengthen the Tigers in goal, but also bring the team forward with his experience and skills. The fans can be excited to see what the new season will bring with the Norwegian in the box. A top club like the Straubing Tigers is certainly doing everything right with a transfer like this! The coming season will show how high the Tigers can set their ambitions.
