His talent for playing ice hockey was discovered early on. At the age of 15, Klüh switched to professional sports in 1980 and from then on played in the U18 squad of the Düsseldorf EC. During his active time, he moved to the U20 as well as the 1st team of the Düsseldorf ice hockey club, among others, until a severe knee injury during the Spengler Cup international tournament in Davos, Switzerland, forced him to end his budding sports career prematurely at the age of 23.
