At the Mannheim ERC , which is based there , he played from then on and received his first appearances in the Bundesliga team in the 1983/84 season .

Between 1983 and 1990 he reached with the MERC Although always the play-offs , but never succeeded in the championship to win. The runner-up in 1985 and 1987 remained the greatest successes of his career up to then. In the 1990/91 season he moved to Cologne EC for two years .

In 1992 Draisaitl returned to Mannheim, where a lot was expected of him. But even though he showed quite remarkable performances in the two following seasons, it was not enough to win the championship with the MERC. However, he should finally achieve this after his renewed move to the Kölner Haie : In 1994/95 he led the Haie to the greatest triumph of his career in the first year of the DEL . A year later, Draisaitl played his best season and was top scorer of the play-offs, but in the end he lost with the Haien both in the final of the DEL play-offs and in the European Cup final. After two more years in Cologne, he decided in 1998 to switch to Moskitos Essen in the Bundesliga, which was the second highest division at the time. With the mosquitoes, he was promoted to the DEL a year later, thanks to his penalties, which he turned into the decisive game. The following year, however, he was last with the mosquitoes after the DEL preliminary round. Draisaitl ended his active career in 2001 after a year with the Revierlöwen Oberhausen .
