Playing career

edit

He began playing professionally with Eisbären Berlin in the 2008–09 season. He played with Berlins junior team in the third-level Oberliga for four seasons. Following the 2016–17 season, Braun opted to leave the only organization he had played with, in signing a one-year deal with fellow German club, ERC Ingolstadt, on June 21, 2017.[2]

Braun contributed with 18 points in his first season in Ingolstadt before returning for a second year with the club in the 2018–19 season. Limited through injury, Braun collected just 6 points in 37 games, before opting to leave the club at the conclusion of the post-season.[3]

On April 10, 2019, Braun agreed to a one-year contract with his third DEL club, Krefeld Pinguine.[4]

In his third season with Krefeld Pinguine in 2021–22, Braun as team captain posted 6 goals and 18 points through 42 regular season games. He was unable to prevent Kreleld from suffering relegation to the DEL2 for the first time in their history.

As a free agent, Braun opted to remain in the DEL, joining Grizzlys Wolfsburg on a two-year contract on 12 May 2022.[5]
