David Sulkovsky (born June 14, 1978 in Freiburg im Breisgau ) is a former German ice hockey player who was managing director and sports director of the Hannover Indians in the ice hockey league from 2014 to 2018 .

Career

David Sulkovsky began his career at EHC Freiburg , for which he also played the first games in the 1st League South in 1995 . After three years in this league and 47 games in the Bundesliga , the winger moved after four years in the second division in Breisgau to the then league competitor Heilbronner EC in the Bundesliga, the second highest division. In 1999 Sulkovsky signed a contract with the Hannover Scorpions from the German Ice Hockey League , for which he hunted goals exactly 100 times in two years. After the following season 2001/02 , in which he scored 25 scorer points in 57 games for the Nuremberg Ice Tigers , the left-handed shooter was nominated for two games for the German national team . There was a less successful year for the Hamburg Freezers , the native of Freiburg for 2003/04 towards Frankfurt Lions left. In his first year in Frankfurt, Sulkovsky became German champions with the Hessians . In the 15 play-off games he scored five points, a year later in eleven final round games only two - the Lions were eliminated in the semifinals against rivals Adler Mannheim . During the season, the Lions were automatically qualified as German champions for the IIHF European Champions Cup 2005 , but the attacker could not score a point in two games at international level, both of which the Lions lost.

In his last season in the Main metropolis, David Sulkovsky only achieved four scorer points in 44 games, whereupon he signed a contract with league competitor Iserlohn Roosters shortly before the start of training , for which Thomas Greilinger was actually intended. He had already signed a contract with the Sauerland, but asked for an old knee injury to terminate the contract, so that the place for Sulkovsky was free. The attacker was able to convince immediately at the Seilersee, which is why his contract was extended by two years until 2009. At the beginning of the 2007/08 season , the husband and father of one child broke his arm and had to take a break for almost nine weeks, which is why he was only able to play 39 games in the main round. Also in the next year, the bad luck with injuries remained loyal to him, so that Sulkovsky could only play a few games at first. After a broken kneecap, the season was finally over for him. Subsequently, he received no new contract offer from the Roosters. For the 2009/10 season he signed a contract with the Grizzly Adams Wolfsburg . With Wolfsburg he was runner- up in the 2010/11 season. From August 2011 Sulkovsky played again with the Hannover Scorpions. On January 11, 2013, the striker played his 700th DEL game in the Derby Grizzly Adams Wolfsburg against Hannover Scorpions. He played his last season as a player in 2013/14 for the Schwenninger Wild Wings . From 2014 until the end of the 2017/18 season he worked for the Hannover Indians in the ice hockey league as managing director and sports director.
