Aldo Zenhäusern (* 3. August 1951 in Visp , † 9. January 2012 in Brig-Glis ) was a Swiss ice hockey national team , who for many years at the EHC Biel , HC Lugano and HC Sierre in the National League A was active. With the EHC Biel, he won the Swiss championship title in 1978 and 1981 . For the Swiss national ice hockey team he completed 94 international games, 6 world championships and the 1976 Winter Olympics in Innsbruck . His son Gerd was also an ice hockey player and now works as an ice hockey coach.

Career

Aldo Zenhäusern grew up in Agarn and played ice hockey there on a natural ice rink. The conditions there were ideal for this sport, as the Meschlerhorn threw sufficient shade over the village during the winter months and ice was therefore always available. The Wyssen brothers, the four Mathieu brothers, Beat Tscherrig and Martin Lörtscher also come from Agarn . Zenhäuser later moved to EHC Visp and in 1975 to EHC Biel , where he became "Minister of Defense".

Zenhäuser remained loyal to EHC Biel until 1981. During this time, he became the team captain in Biel in 1978 and in 1981 as Swiss champions . In 1976 and 1979 he was also runner-up. In the 1981/82 season he moved to HC Lugano . He let his successful career end at home in Valais with HC Sierre , with whom in 1990 he was promoted again from the National League B to the NLA. He then ended his career. In Siders (Sierre) Aldo Zenhäusern played with his son Gerd for a short time .

Aldo Zenhäusern played a total of 450 games in the NLA and wore the jersey of the Swiss national ice hockey team 94 times , with which he took part in six World Cup tournaments. He was also part of the Swiss squad at the 1976 Winter Olympics in Innsbruck .

Zenhäuser combined semi-professional sport and work: During his time at EHC Biel, he worked for Willy Gassmann's publishing house as an accountant and was therefore not always able to follow the national team. At the end of his career, he assisted many of his coaches, and he had a particularly close relationship with František Vaněk .

Aldo Zenhäusern died in January 2012 as a result of a heart attack at the age of 60.
