One of the EHL’s most decorated players, Marco Miltkau will join HC Bloemendaal next season, bringing his predatory instincts to bolster their forward line.
The experienced German striker comes over from Klein Zwitserland, bringing with him an impressive track record, including a silver medal at the Paris Olympics in 2024, a World Cup in 2023 and a European championship in 2013.
In the EHL, he won the title twice with UHC Hamburg (2010 and 2012) and once with Rot-Weiss Köln (2017) as well as picking up silver medals in 2009 and 2019. In total, he scored 35 times in 46 games in the EHL, putting him second on the all-time goalscorer list.
“It has always been a dream to play for Bloemendaal,” he said of the move. “This step, at this point in my career, feels like pure pleasure.
“Every competition has its own style. That has made me richer. I hope that I can use all that baggage to contribute to the hockey that makes Bloemendaal so strong.”
Bloemendaal top hockey board member Michiel Hilders added: “Of course I am very happy with Marco’s arrival in Bloemendaal. He has been internationally known for years as a very strong striker, a real goalgetter.
“As a person I know for sure that he will fit in very well with the group. He is a real team player who is also coming to Bloemendaal to improve our young attackers with his quality and experience.”
