Career

Player career

Berehowsky began his career in 1988 in the Canadian Junior League Ontario Hockey League with the Kingston Raiders . There he was one of the top performers in his first season and scored 46 scorer points in 63 games . After the team changed hands at the beginning of the 1989/90 season and henceforth called themselves Kingston Frontenacs , he lost his regular place, but showed good performances in the only nine games he played. During the NHL Entry Draft 1990 he was selected by the Toronto Maple Leafs from the National Hockey League in the first round in tenth position overall. In 1990 the trained defender got the chance to prove himself in the NHL for the first time. He was used in eight games and scored an assist . In the following years, the right-handed shooter played predominantly in the American Hockey League for the St. John's Maple Leafs , the then farm team of the Toronto Maple Leafs, after he was the best defender of the OHL and CHL with the Max Kaminsky Trophy and in the 1991/92 season the CHL Defenceman of the Year Award . The 1992/93 season was particularly positive. In addition to always good performances in the AHL, he played in the squad of the Toronto Maple Leafs and was able to achieve 19 scorer points in 41 games, as well as a plus / minus statistic of +1.

At the end of the 1994/95 season , the then 23-year-old joined the Pittsburgh Penguins . He did not make a breakthrough in Pittsburgh either. After another very successful stint with the Edmonton Oilers , for which was on the ice 67 times, he signed a contract as a free agent in the summer of 1998 with the then newcomer Nashville Predators . Here Berehowsky developed into a regular player and top performer. In the three years that he was under contract with the Predators, he completed 219 games and scored 73 points.

Other career stations in the following years were in addition to the Phoenix Coyotes and the Vancouver Canucks , with which he was eliminated in the first round of the Stanley Cup playoffs in 2001 . Another brief interlude in Pittsburgh followed before he returned to his hometown, Toronto, during the 2003/04 season . There he completed only nine games in the end, but was able to reach the play-off semifinals of the Eastern Conference with the Maple Leafs , where the team failed in a hard-fought series just 2: 4 games at the Philadelphia Flyers .

During the NHL lockout of the 2004/05 season he played in the Swedish HockeyAllsvenskan for Skellefteå AIK . After another subsequent season at the San Antonio Rampage in the AHL, the management of the Eisbären Berlin was able to convince him of a commitment in the German capital during the current season. Berehowsky then wore the polar bear jersey 19 times and ultimately crowned his career by winning the German championship title . After the end of the 2005/06 season , he ended his active career at the age of 34 and began to work in the coaching sector.

Coaching career

His first station was an assistant coaching post with the Barrie Colts from the OHL in the 2007/08 season . Another engagement in the same function followed from 2009 to 2012 with the Peoria Rivermen from the American Hockey League. In June 2012, Berehowsky took over the management of a franchise for the first time as head coach with the newly founded Orlando Solar Bears from ECHL . However, he returned after just one year to his Canadian homeland, where he was head coach of the Lethbridge Hurricanes in the OHL for two seasons , then from the beginning of the 2015/16 season he was assistant coach at league rivals Sudbury Wolves . Since November 2016 he has been head coach of the Orlando Solar Bears again at ECHL and has also been its general manager since the beginning of the 2017/18 season .
