Bernd Haake (born January 14, 1946 in Bielefeld ) is a German ice hockey coach who has been the national coach of the Lithuanian national team since 2012 .

Career

After 27 years as an ice hockey player in Bremen and Soest , among others , Bernd Haake began his coaching career. In 1971 he received his first coaching license from Gerhard Kießling . The East Westphalian worked as a national coach for various countries ( New Zealand , Brazil , Australia , South Africa , Spain ). As an assistant coach and supervisor on a fee basis, Haake took part in a number of world and European championships as well as the Olympic Games for the German national ice hockey team. He performed a similar task for Canada and the United States .

In South Africa, he not only ran an ice hockey school for young people, but also coached the inline hockey team in the Namibian capital Windhoek .

In addition, Haake was head coach of a junior team of the ECD Iserlohn (1983-1989) and the first team of the Herford EG . Between 1992 and 1997 he was co-trainer of the Kölner Haie and during this time he was once German champion and twice vice champion. Then he moved to Italy. With HC Bozen he became Italian champion of the first division and a little later with the WSV Sterzing Broncos also Italian champion of the second division.

For the 2006/07 season , the discoverer of players like Mirko Lüdemann and today's manager Karsten Mende signed an open-ended contract with Mendes Iserlohn Roosters from the German Ice Hockey League . As an "Associated Coach" he should have more influence than an assistant coach and above all strengthen the German element in the Roosters game. After one season, however, he had to cut back on his engagement for personal reasons and was then mainly used to monitor matches. At the end of the 2008/09 season , Haake was active again as an assistant coach, while the previous assistant coach Ulrich Liebsch took over the post of head coach. He then announced his departure from the Roosters, as he took on various tasks in the course of the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver . Haake later decided to stay in Iserlohn and was behind the gang alongside Uli Liebsch in the 2009/10 season . On June 18, 2010, he extended his contract for another year.

Since September 2012 he has been the national coach of the Lithuanian Ice Hockey Federation . At the 2018 World Cup he was promoted with the Lithuanian team from Group B to Group A in Division I.
