Playing career

[edit]

Helms played for the Streetsville Derbys (OPJHL) and the Cambridge Winter Hawks (MWJHL) in his native Canada, before moving to Germany in 2007. After spending the 2007-08 season with EV Landsberg, he joined fellow second-division side EV Ravensburg for the following two season.

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.

From 2011 to 2013 he played for the Augsburger Panther in the Deutsche Eishockey Liga (DEL).[2] In 2013, he moved to German DEL2 side EC Bad Nauheim, where he spent three years and left at the conclusion of the 2015-16 season. In May 2016, he signed with Heilbronner Falken of the German DEL2.[3] Helms left the Heilbronn side after three years, signing with Oberliga team MEC Halle 04 in April 2019.[4]
