For the young eagles, he continued to play in the school league . In the two years that he continued to accumulate in this age group, he scored another 40 points in 48 games. In the course of the 2016/17 season , however, he also increasingly played in the German Youth League , where the club's U19 team was based. There, too, the 15-year-old was able to convince with 13 points in twice as many matches. At the end of the season he secured the DNL championship with the young eagles .

The game year 2017/18 spent Seider exclusively in the Under-19 squad in the DNL. In 26 games he achieved 27 points and received a professional contract with the Eagles in the DEL in April 2018. There he made his debut for the remainder of the season and played a total of four games.

International

For his home country, Seider was on the ice in both the junior and senior classes. He completed his first international tournament with the U18 Junior World Championship of Division IA 2017 in Bled , Slovenia , which ended with a disappointing fifth place for the German team.
