Career

The nine-year-old Hübbers was discovered in the winter of 1949 while playing ice hockey on the frozen Düssel, right next to the ice rink on Brehmstrasse. In the 1949/50 season he joined the ice hockey department of the Düsseldorfer EG , where he was trained as a professional. Initially, Hübbers learned the storm game, but switched to defense in later years. As an all-round player, he could therefore be used in various positions.
