Björn Krupp (born March 6, 1991 in Buffalo , New York ) is a German - American ice hockey player who has been under contract with Adler Mannheim from the German Ice Hockey League since 2019 . Krupp plays the position of defender and is the son of the former NHL professional and the first German Stanley Cup winner Uwe Krupp .

Career

Krupp began his career with various youth teams in the USA and was also trained by his father. In the 2007/08 season he was active for the US U17 national team in the USA Hockey National Team Development Program . From 2008 to 2011 he played three seasons for the Belleville Bulls in the Ontario Hockey League , one of Canada's three major junior leagues.

During the 2009/10 season, the left-shot signed a rookie entry contract with NHL club Minnesota Wild , but moved to the 2011/12 season for DEL club Kölner Haie , where he signed a three-year contract. Krupp was trained there by his father between 2011 and 2014 and reached the DEL play-off finals twice in a row with the Haien in the 2012/13 and 2013/14 seasons , where however the respective opponents Eisbären Berlin and ERC Ingolstadt had to give up. In December 2014, the defender was loaned out to league rivals Grizzly Adams Wolfsburg at his own request until the end of the 2014/15 season , who signed him firmly in April 2015. With the Grizzlies , he reached the DEL playoff finals in 2016 and 2017 , which his team lost. In the 2017/18 season he reached the playoff quarter-finals with his team, which they lost in five games against the eventual finalist Eisbären Berlin. In the following season he missed the playoff places with Wolfsburg when his team only finished twelfth in the table after the main round. During that season, Adler Mannheim announced on November 16, 2018 that Krupp had been signed for the next three seasons.
