Darren Haydar (born October 22, 1979 in Milton , Ontario ) is a Canadian ice hockey striker who last played for the Lausitzer Füchsen in the DEL2 .

Career

Beginnings in junior and college areas

Darren Haydar began his career in 1995 with the Milton Icehawks from the lower class Canadian junior league OPJHL . When he was part of the Icehawks' regular squad in the 1996/97 season, he quickly developed into one of the team's leading players with 100 points in 51 games. The following year he reached the height of his junior career when he was named the league's best player after scoring 71 goals and preparing another 69 in 51 league games. In addition, the Icehawks won the Dudley Hewitt Cup as junior champions of the province of Ontario .

Haydar attended the University of New Hampshire from the summer of 1998 , where he was one of the best scorers together with Jason Krog . In his first year he scored 31 goals and 30 assists in 41 games and was elected to the Second All-Star Team and Rookie of the Year in the Hockey East Division. The Nashville Predators then selected him in the 1999 NHL Entry Draft in the ninth round at position 248.

In the following two seasons he stayed with 41 points well behind the performance of his debut season, but found back to his old strength in the 2001/02 season. With 31 goals and 45 assists in 40 games, he was the second best scorer of all college teams in the United States and was voted Player of the Year in the Hockey East Division. In addition, the division championship was won.

Top scorer in the American Hockey League (AHL)

In the fall of 2002, Haydar took the step to become professionals, but initially worked for the Predators' farm team , the Milwaukee Admirals from the AHL . In his very first season he led his team with 75 points and took sixth place in the league-wide scorer list. He also made his debut in the NHL , but only went on the ice twice for the Predators during the entire season. The AHL honored Haydar with the Dudley "Red" Garrett Memorial Award as the best new professional at the end of the season .

In the 2003/04 season , Haydar could not show the form of the previous year at first and only achieved 22 goals and 37 assists. In the playoffs he led the Admirals again, won the Calder Cup with them and was the top scorer in the finals with 26 points. After a solid 2004/05 season , which he could not play completely due to an injury, he completed his best year with the Admirals in 2005/06 . With 35 goals, 57 assists and the resulting 92 points, he set three personal bests and was the fifth best scorer in the AHL. As two years before, the Admirals reached the final of the Calder Cup and again Haydar was the best scorer in the playoffs, this time with 35 points in 21 games, but this time they were defeated by the Hershey Bears in the final series.

Since Haydar had only played twice for the Nashville Predators in the NHL within four years, his contract was not renewed in the summer of 2006 and the Atlanta Thrashers signed him. However, he did not get past four pointless missions for Atlanta in the 2006/07 season and spent most of the season with the AHL farm team, the Chicago Wolves . Reunited with his former fellow student Jason Krog, Haydar played his best season to date. He scored 41 goals and prepared 81 goals, which at the end of the season he was top scorer of the regular season with 23 points ahead and received the John B. Sollenberger Trophy . He also set a new AHL record when he was able to score in 39 games in a row, beating the old record by seven games. In the playoffs he showed his skills again, scored 24 points and was again top scorer in the finals, although the Chicago Wolves were eliminated in the third round after 15 games. After the season, Haydar was also awarded the Les Cunningham Award for Most Valuable Player in the AHL.

In the 2007-08 season , Haydar scored his first goal in the NHL when he was a total of 16 times for the Atlanta Thrashers. The rest of the year he played again for the Chicago Wolves, who won the Calder Cup. Haydar contributed twelve goals and 15 assists in the playoffs and was the team's best scorer after Jason Krog.

After his contract was not renewed by the Thrashers in the summer of 2008, the Detroit Red Wings gave him a one-year contract, but there, too, he was initially sent to the farm team, the Grand Rapids Griffins . Haydar took over the position of team captain , but had problems proving his reputation as one of the best and most consistent scorers in the league in the first half of the season. So he came up in the first three months, for his standards, a moderate 26 points in 33 games of the season. After the turn of the year he returned to his old form and ended the season as the sixth best scorer in the league with 80 points.

In the summer of 2009, Haydar signed a contract with the Colorado Avalanche , which used him mostly on the farm team at the Lake Erie Monsters in the AHL, where Haydar was assistant captain. In July 2010 he signed a contract with the Chicago Wolves.

Change to Europe

In July 2013 Haydar signed a one-year contract with EHC Red Bull Munich in the DEL and collected 37 scorer points in 46 appearances for the Red Bulls. He was then committed by the KHL Medveščak Zagreb from the KHL . After this engagement was short-lived, the Canadian and his strike partner Jason Krog switched to EC VSV in the Austrian EBEL . There, Haydar received no new contract following the 2014/15 season . After the start of the 2015/16 ice hockey season in the DEL2 , the striker accepted an offer from the Lausitzer Füchse from Weißwasser .
