Dustin Cameron (born March 20, 1989 in Saskatoon , Saskatchewan ) is a Canadian ice hockey player who plays on the position of the left winger , who was last under contract at EC Bad Nauheim in the DEL2 .

Career

Cameron started playing ice hockey at the age of 5. He was heavily influenced by his father, who himself played on a junior team. The family watched the Toronto Maple Leafs games on television every Saturday . In the age group Peewee (U13) and Bantam (U15) Cameron played with the AA Barons in the Saskatoon Minor Hockey League. (A-AAA stands for the skill level). In the summer of 2004, he attended a Saskatoon Blades rookie camp and then moved to the Saskatoon Midget AAA Contacts. (Midget = U18). In 2005 he won the national Telus Cup with Saskatoon Contacts. In 2004 he won the Mac's Midget AAA World Invitational Tournament and the championship in Saskatchewan with the team . The 2004/5 season team was inducted into the Saskatoon Sports Hall of Fame in 2014.

The Canadian was selected in 2004 as the 55th player in the third round of the WHL Bantam Draft by the Saskatoon Blades from the Western Hockey League , one of Canada's three top junior leagues. At the World U-17 Hockey Challenge 2006 he was appointed to the Canada Western squad. He appeared in five games and scored one goal in a 3-2 victory over the team from Slovakia. In 2007, at the age of 18, he switched to league rivals Prince Albert Raiders in a player swap with defender John Flatters . He got more ice age in his new team and was appointed 33rd team captain of the club for the 2008/9 season, which he remained in the following season. In the 2008/9 and 2009/10 seasons he was the club's third-best goalscorer with 33 and 30 goals respectively.

In 2008 he replaced the injured Evander Kane in the selection of the Western Hockey League in the sixth and final game of the ADT Canada-Russia Challenge . That year he would have been eligible for the 2008 NHL Entry Draft . In the summer of 2010 he played in the SBHL roller hockey league for the Dirty Burger .

In order to become a professional player, Cameron turned down offers from several university teams. For the 2010/11 season, the winger switched to professional sport and went to the Elmira Jackals , a club on the east coast of the USA in the ECHL , a minor league . There he scored his first goal in a professional game in a 7-2 win over the Reading Royals on October 23 . In September he completed a test match with the Rockford IceHogs in the American Hockey League . Again seldom used, Cameron was exchanged for the Gwinnett Gladiators in January 2011 , who had secured the rights to defender Matt Krug from the Elmira Jackals. Cameron was the fourth-best newcomer in the league with 7 goals in March at the Gladiators. Although he had already signed for the 2011/12 season with the Gladiators, Cameron came to the Trenton Titans via another player swap . Cameron was assistant captain of the Titans and scored 22 goals in 72 games.

After the season, Cameron moved to Europe on a free transfer, where he was on the ice in the 2012/13 season for the Coventry Blaze team in the game of the Elite Ice Hockey League , the top league in the United Kingdom . Cameron scored a hat trick in his debut game against the Sheffield Steelers . In the championship Coventry was eliminated after winning the quarterfinals against Sheffield in the semifinals against the Belfast Giants . In the Challenge Cup, Coventry Blaze survived the group stage, but was eliminated in the following quarter-finals against Braehead Clan . Cameron scored 53 scorer points in the league and cup during his season in Great Britain.

In the 2013-2014 season, Cameron moved to EV Ravensburg in the less physical but faster DEL2 , where he scored 23 goals in 53 games and played with Nathan Deck, with whom he had already been on the ice for three years at the Prince Albert Raiders . In the playoffs he scored five times in seven games against EV Landshut , which with nine points scorer was the second best playoff average in the league, but could not prevent the quarter-finals. In the 2014/15 season Cameron was hired by the Heilbronner Falken , where he wanted to recommend himself to a young team with managerial tasks for higher tasks. At the Falcons he played with Riley Armstrong , who also comes from Saskatoon. Heilbronn lost in the playdowns against the ice pirates Crimmitschau and the ESV Kaufbeuren and went into sporting descent. In the playdowns, Cameron was the club's top scorer with 5 goals in 10 games, as was the season when he scored 19 goals.

Cameron moved to EC Bad Nauheim for the 2015-2016 season . There he plays under his former Ravensburger trainer Petri Kujala . He decided against a move to British champions Sheffield Steelers , where his former coach from Coventry was under contract. Dustin Cameron formed the first line of storms in Bad Nauheim with Nick Dineen and Diego Hofland and Dušan Frosch .

Cameron is studying health and safety on the Internet and after his career as a professional sportsman wants to work as a safety specialist in a Canadian mine. His girlfriend works as a teacher in Canada.

Game character

Petri Kujala, the coach of EC Bad Nauheim, said in 2015 that Cameron is an “absolute leader” who shows the physical style of play and helps to make the team faster and more aggressive. Before the obligation, managing director Andreas Ortwein considered him “still young and at the same time hungry to achieve higher things”. Igor Pavlov, coach of the Heilbronner Falken explained in 2014: “He is a player who has the scoring touch. He looks for one-on-one situations, the direct route to the goal and also marks the decisive hits. " The managing director of Towerstars said in 2013 "Dustin is an absolute team player and is not afraid to take on responsibility."
