Aaron Rene Doornekamp (born December 5, 1985 in Napanee , Ontario ) is a Canadian - Dutch basketball player . The Canadian international also plays with a Dutch license in accordance with his origins in European leagues. After three seasons in the Italian Lega Basket Serie A , Doornekamp has been playing in the German basketball league since 2013 , in which his older brother Nate was already active as a professional basketball player.

Career

Doornekamp studied in his native country at Carleton University and played there for five years from 2004 in the university team Ravens, among others with the later Bundesliga professional Osvaldo Jeanty . Together they won the WP McGee Trophy , the Canadian university championship, three times until 2007 . At the 2007 championship Doornekamp was named Most Valuable Player (MVP) of the “Final 8” championship tournament. After Jeanty had turned professional, Doornekamp moved into the semi-finals of the championship again in 2008 with the Ravens and was named Player of the Year by the CIS . After Doornekamp made his debut in the Canadian men's national team in 2006, he reached fourth place at the 2009 American Basketball Championship with the selection in 2009 .

In 2009 Doornekamp also turned professional and signed a contract in the Italian Lega Basket Serie A with JuveCaserta Basket from Caserta . Here he played as a Canadian national player with a Dutch player license in order to fall under the less restrictive foreigner restrictions of the Italian league for EU citizens. In the 2009/10 season they reached second place after the main round and were eliminated in the semi-final series of the play-offs for the Italian championship in five games against Armani Jeans Milan , after they had been ahead with two wins after three games. In the following qualification for the ULEB Euroleague 2010/11 they failed against the Russian representative BK Chimki to move into the main round for the highest European club competition and instead played in the Eurocup 2010/11 . There they moved up to the knockout round in the quarterfinals, in which they were defeated by the later Russian title winner UNICS Kazan . In the national championship, however, they only reached eleventh place and failed because they entered the play-off round and qualified for an international competition. While Doornekamp was used in 14 games of the Eurocup, he came in Serie A only three inserts. In the 2011/12 season they reached the penultimate place in the table as 16th in the final table only just about relegation, favored by the withdrawal of licenses from competitors such as Benetton Treviso and Teramo Basket .

After injury problems, Doornekamp got no contract in the 2012/13 season, but returned to the national team in the summer of 2013 for the 2013 American Basketball Championship . In addition, he got a new contract for the 2013/14 season with the German first division club New Yorker Phantoms from Braunschweig in the basketball Bundesliga , in which his national team colleague Jermaine Anderson had been active in the previous season . After a decent start to the season, the Phantoms were able to save themselves to keep up with only eleven wins this season on fourth from bottom of the table. After changing sponsors in the club, Doornekamp moved to the next Bundesliga basketball league 2014/15 to league competitor Fraport Skyliners in Frankfurt am Main , where he is trained by Gordon Herbert , who comes from Canada . In 2016 he won the FIBA Europe Cup with Frankfurt .
