Christian Ehrhoff is heading home.
Unable to secure a contract with one of the NHL's 30 teams, the veteran defenseman has signed with German club Kolner Haie.
Ehrhoff joined Boston Bruins training camp following the World Cup, where he played for Team Europe. The Bruins weren't able to promise regular playing time, prompting Ehrhoff to look elsewhere.
In 789 career NHL games, Ehrhoff has recorded 74 goals and 265 assists, spending his most productive years with the San Jose Sharks and Vancouver Canucks from 2008-11.
