Career

Cespiva began his career in the Adler Mannheim youth team and played, among other things, for the Mannheim youth group from the German Youth League . For the 2004/05 season , the defender was for the first time in the squad of the professional team and completed 15 games in which he could not achieve a scorer point . Furthermore, Cespiva was given a sponsorship license and was therefore also eligible to play for the cooperation partner Heilbronner Falken .

After his breakthrough with the Adler, the Duisburg native signed a contract with the Nürnberg Ice Tigers for the 2006/07 season , which also provided him with a production license. Because of this, the right-handed shooter also played for SC Riessersee in the top ice hockey league . In his first season with the Ice Tigers, Cespiva was part of the regular squad and was used in 48 games in which he was able to score four points. In 2007 the defender became German runner-up with Nuremberg after losing 3-0 in the final to his ex-club, the Adler from Mannheim. On September 28, 2009, the right-shooter signed a contract with the Krefeld Penguins . In July 2010 he switched to the Kassel Huskies . Since they did not receive a DEL license, Cespiva signed a contract with Adler Mannheim on August 30, 2010, which ran until the end of the 2010/11 season . In May 2011 he received a contract for the 2011/12 season with EHC Munich . From 2013 to 2017 Cespiva was under contract with the Löwen Frankfurt . For the 2017/18 season he moved to Füchsen Duisburg .
