Career

society

Sturm began his ice hockey career as one of the youngest players ever to play in the German Ice Hockey League at EV Landshut . There, at the age of 18, he was already one of the team's top performers. In two DEL seasons, Sturm scored 75 points in 93 games. After he was selected in the NHL Entry Draft 1996 by the San Jose Sharks in the first round in 21st place, he began to play in the National Hockey League at the beginning of the 1997/98 season . His first three goals in the best league in the world were all game-changing, which led to him being named Rookie of the Month in November 1997 . Sturm initially played in San Jose until the end of the 2003/04 season and developed into a top performer and crowd favorite over the seven seasons. Sturm scored 20 or more goals three times in a season. He had his best season in 2003/04, but at the end of the regular season he seriously injured his knee and missed the rest of the season.

After it became known that the 2004/05 season was initially postponed, Sturm returned to the DEL and signed a contract with ERC Ingolstadt . Due to the cancellation of the entire NHL season, Sturm stayed in Germany throughout the year and played very successfully. He played in the DEL All-Star Game on the side of the German national team and won the German cup competition with the Ingolstadt team .

For the 2005/06 season Sturm was back on the ice for the Sharks. Since the team did not show the desired performance at the beginning of the season, he was transferred to the Boston Bruins on November 30, 2005, along with defenseman Brad Stuart and center Wayne Primeau . In return, the San Jose Sharks Center received Joe Thornton . In Boston, the German triumphed and closed his best NHL season with 59 points in 74 games. Nevertheless, the Bruins missed the playoffs. On December 20, 2006, he managed a hat trick for the second time in his career . In the game against the Ottawa Senators he scored 1-0, 4-0 and 5-0. He scored his first hat trick in 1998 when he was still playing for the San Jose Sharks. During the 2006/07 season there were repeated rumors that the Boston Bruins would transfer him to another team, but a few days before the end of the transfer period at the end of February 2007, they agreed on a four-year contract that gave him a total of 14 million Brought in US dollars . Born in Bavaria, he repaid the management's trust with good performances in the 2007/08 season. With 56 scorer points he completed his best season since moving from San Jose to Boston and was the team's most dangerous striker with 27 goals. So Sturm went expectantly into the following season. After missing twelve games early in the season due to a minor concussion , he injured his left knee so badly on his comeback in December that he had to undergo surgery in mid-January 2009 to restore the meniscus and cruciate ligament . The successful operation on January 13th meant the end of the season.

Shortly before recovering from his knee injury, Sturm was transferred from the Bruins to the Los Angeles Kings for future draft voting rights . During the season, Sturm contributed four goals and five assists in 17 games for his team. Even so, he was put on the waiver list on February 25, 2011 and signed by the Washington Capitals just a day later . In 18 games with the Capitals, Sturm collected one goal and six assists for a total of seven points. In this season's playoffs, Sturm scored one goal in nine games and set up two more. The Capitals were nevertheless eliminated in the second round of the playoffs by the Tampa Bay Lightning . In the free agent phase after the 2010/11 NHL season , Marco Sturm was signed by the Vancouver Canucks for one year on July 1, 2011 . The contract was worth $ 2.25 million . On October 23, 2011 it was announced that Marco Sturm was transferred along with Mikael Samuelsson against David Booth , Steven Reinprecht and a draft suffrage to the Florida Panthers . After his expiring contract was not renewed after the 2011/12 NHL season , Sturm was without a club for a few months before returning to the DEL in February 2013 and playing with the Kölner Haien for the remainder of the remaining 2012/13 season .

On January 27, 2014, Sturm announced the final end of his ice hockey career. He justified his resignation with motivation problems.

International

Sturm played his first international tournament for the national team in 1995 . There he ran, just as in 1996 , at the Junior World Championship. For the A-team he played with the A World Championships in 1997 , 2001 and 2008 and in the 2006 World Cup of Division I . He had other appearances at three Olympic Games ( 1998 , 2002 , 2010 ), and at the World Cup of Hockey in 2004 .

From July 2015, Sturm was the national coach and general manager of the German national team . In November 2015, he led the team to victory at the Deutschland Cup . In his first world championship as a coach , he led the German selection to the quarter-finals and seventh place in the final ranking in May 2016. Under his leadership, the German team qualified for the 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang , which meant that his contract as national coach, which was initially concluded for two years in 2015, was extended by one year.

At the home World Cup in 2017 , Sturm's team made it to the quarter-finals again, where Canada was beaten 1: 2. In the end, the eighth place overall resulted in another placement among the top eight. In February 2018, Sturm's contract as national coach was prematurely extended until 2022. At the 2018 Winter Olympics he won the silver medal with the German national team after defeating the reigning world champion Sweden and reigning Olympic champion Canada. In the final, the Russian team managed to keep the game balanced until the end of regular time. Only in extra time did the Russian team manage to score the decisive goal in excess.

After the Olympic Games, Storm's hometown Dingolfing decided to make him an honorary citizen. In addition, the ice rink there will be renamed Marco-Sturm-Halle .

At the 2018 World Cup, Sturm led the German team to eleventh place. During his tenure as national coach (and afterwards), Sturm demanded a significant reduction in the number of foreign players in the German Ice Hockey League as well as better support for young German talent in order to maintain the competitiveness of the German national team on an international level.

After over three years as head coach of the German selection, Sturm returned to the NHL in November 2018 when he took over the post of assistant coach at the Los Angeles Kings , for which he had already played. There he is now by Willie Desjardins , who succeeded the dismissed John Stevens as head coach .
