Jacksonville Icemen forward Davis Koch is heading back overseas to Germany to join EC Bad Nauheim of the DEL2. In 70 games with the Icemen last season, the Surrey, BC native had 13 goals and 30 assists for 40 points. Koch finished the year tied for third in assists (30) and fifth in pointd among the Icemen. He added one assist over the course of his three Kelly Cup Playoff Games. Koch is the first member of the Icement to take the overseas route this off-season I wouldn’t be shocked if he wansn’t the last player from the Icemen to head overseas. Davis Koch, 26, has spent the last two seasons in the ECHL with the Icemen and Iowa Heartlanders, putting up 28 goals and 42 assists in 106 ECHL Games. He saw two games of action at the AHL level with the Iowa Wild during the 2023-24 season.
