According to Detroit Hockey Now’s Kevin Allen, long-time Grand Rapids Griffins forward Taro Hirose has signed with EHC Red Bull Munchen of the DEL:
Left wing Taro Hirose, a member of the Detroit Red Wings organization for five years, has signed a deal to play for the Red Bulls in the German League.
The Red Wings signed Hirose as a college free agent out of Michigan State after the 2018-19 season. He played 60 games for Detroit over four different seasons. Hirose, 28, didn’t spend any time last season with the Red Wings, but played 54 games (nine goals, 36 points) for the their Grand Rapids Griffins farm team.
The Red Bulls signed Hirose as a replacement for the injured Trevor Parkes who is also a former Griffins player. Smallish forward Hirose is a play-making winger with quality power play instincts.
