GB International forward Mike Hammond has moved from his Elite Series side Coventry Blaze to the German Oberliga (3rd Division) with Hannover Scorpions.

https://www.eliteprospects.com/player/4 ... ke-hammond

Not sure why he’s dropped to the Oberliga as he’s clearly good enough to play higher.

In 20/21 he was a-point-a-game in the Danish Metal Ligaen with Odense Bulldogs & Fredrikshavn White Hawks. He also made the 1st Elite Series All-Star line with 22 points in 14 games.

Added to that he was 2+2 for GB.
