Career

The 1.80 m tall goalie began his career in the youth department of the EHC Freiburg before moving to the DNL record champions in Mannheim.

In 2008 he won the DNL title with the young eagles. Since the 2008/09 season Brückmann has been a regular back-up for the two regular goalkeepers Fred Brathwaite and Lukas Lang in the squad of the DEL record champions, but was initially mostly used by cooperation partner Heilbronner Falken from the 2nd Bundesliga .

Between 2011 and 2014 he played exclusively for the Adler, mostly as a second goalkeeper, and improved his performance from year to year. He was voted DEL Rookie of the Year in 2012. After the 2013/14 season, he moved within the DEL to the Grizzly Adams Wolfsburg . In the 2014/15 season he achieved the best catch quota of the DEL goalkeepers.
