With Nicolas Jacobi taking over the reins for the German international team, it looks like Weinhold is stepping out of the frame, at domestic level as well as international level. The double Olympian gold medalist looks as if he has stepping down from his level of competitive ability, with Victor Aly stepping in as first choice for the well known German club Rott Weiss Koln. Peter Schlich was the second choice last season, getting some playing time against Kelburne in the early stages of the previous Euro Hockey League tournament.
