Christian Weber (born February 19, 1964 ) is a former Swiss ice hockey player and now an ice hockey coach. Since 2018 he is coach of the Austrian AHL -Vereines EHC Lustenau . As an offensive player, he played a total of 607 times in the Swiss National League A between 1983 and 2001 and is 102 times Swiss national player.

Career

Weber began his career in 1979 with the second division club EHC Dübendorf . After four years as a regular player, he moved to the then top club HC Davos , where he won the Swiss championship twice in two years (1984 and 1985). In 1985 he moved to the city club Zürcher SC , but with whom he was relegated and spent two years in the Swiss second division . In 1988 Weber moved back to the NLA for HC Ambrì-Piotta .

In 1989 Weber went back to the Lions, who had meanwhile been promoted again, and became a regular player in the Swiss national team, with whom he took part in the World Cup tournaments in 1991 , 1992 , 1993 , 1995 and 1996 . In the second half of the 1990s he played again for three years in Davos before returning to Zurich in 1997. In 2000 he became Swiss champions with the Zurich team and then retired from active sport, but was reactivated in the 2001 play-offs and was able to defend the title.

After his playing days, he remained loyal to the Lions as the coach of the club's own farm team, GCK Lions , first as an assistant coach, later as head coach, before becoming head coach of the ZSC Lions team in 2003. In November 2005, however, he was relieved of the chief position due to unsuccessfulness and demoted to the position of assistant coach with the farm team GCK Lions. In January 2006 he was hired by the SCL Tigers as the new head coach, where he was under contract until January 2010.

During the 2009/10 season it became known that Weber would train the Rapperswil-Jona Lakers from summer 2010 . He was then released from the SCL Tigers in January 2010 and Konstantin Kuraschew took over his post . Less than a month later, he was introduced as the Lakers' new head coach ahead of schedule, as interim coach John Slettvoll had returned to Sweden. In early February 2011 Weber was dismissed from the Rapperswil-Jona Lakers after the team had dropped to the bottom of the table and missed the playoffs.

In January 2012 Weber became the head coach of the EC KAC fighting team after Emanuel Viveiros was relieved of this position. Weber had previously trained the KAC's junior teams. In December of the same year he was on leave and replaced by his previous assistant Christer Olsson . During his coaching time in Austria - in addition to his work at the KAC - he also worked as an assistant coach for the national team.

In the 2013/14 season Weber moved to HC Thurgau as head of sport and coach .

Since January 2018 he has been head coach at the Austrian AlpsHL club EHC Lustenau.
