He was set to join the Hamburg Freezers of the German top-flight Deutsche Eishockey Liga (DEL) for the 2010-11 campaign, but had his contract terminated before the season due to medical concerns: Helms had sustained a shoulder injury in January 2010.[1] He signed with another DEL team, EHC München, instead and spent the 2010-11 season with the club.
