Eric Mackie Regan (born May 20, 1988 in Ajax , Ontario ) is a Canadian ice hockey player with South Korean citizenship who has been under contract with Anyang Halla from the Asia League Ice Hockey since 2015 .

Career

Eric Regan began his active career as an ice hockey player in the 2004/05 season with the Erie Otters , who had previously drafted him in the third round of the OHL Priority Selection 2004 in the third round as a total of 51st player in the top junior league Ontario Hockey League . Already in his debut season, the defender became an integral part of the team and was in action in a total of 67 games in which he scored four points. In the following season Regan moved within the Ontario Hockey League and joined the Oshawa Generals . In the following years he improved his yield of points and appeared primarily as a template provider, he also received more penalty minutes. After he by any franchise drafted was the defensive player signed in September 2008 along with the attacker Maxime Macenauer a limited three-year contract with the Anaheim Ducks .

The following season he spent with the Iowa Chops , the then farm team of the Anaheim Ducks, in the American Hockey League and was one of the regulars with the team from Des Moines . After the team was excluded from the game for the 2009/10 season , Regan was for most of the season with the Bakersfield Condors in the ECHL and was elected to the league's First All-Star team. In the same season, the defender also completed five games for the San Antonio Rampage in the American Hockey League, in which he remained pointless. The 2010/11 season he began with the Syracuse Crunch in the AHL, but after a few missions he was given to the Elmira Jackals , another farm team of the Anaheim Ducks, in the ECHL. There he was an important performer despite a negative plus / minus balance and, as in the previous year in Bakersfield, convinced again with his offensive qualities. Regan, who was the Jackals' fourth best scorer in the regular season, was named ECHL Defenseman of the Year in April 2011 . The defender had previously been re-elected to the ECHL's First All-Star team.

In June 2011 Regan signed a one-year contract with the Hannover Scorpions from the German Ice Hockey League . In the 2011/12 season he was only able to play 33 games for Lower Saxony due to a several-week injury break and a six-game suspension, in which he scored 14 points. His contract with the Hannover Scorpions was extended by one year in June 2012. However, after the Scorpions' DEL license was sold to Schwenninger Wild Wings , this contract became invalid. The move to Nippon Paper Cranes , a team from Kushiro in Northern Japan, followed. There he played a year in the Asia League ice hockey . Although he won the Asia League with the Cranes in 2014 , after only one year he moved to South Korea, where he first worked for High1 and since 2015 at Anyang Halla , with whom he won his second and third Asia League titles in 2016 and 2017 plays in the Asia League. In 2015, 2016 and 2017 he was elected to the Asia League First Team. In 2015 he was also the most successful goalscorer among the defenders of the league with 17 goals.

International

In early April 2016, Regan was naturalized to South Korea together with goalkeeper Matt Dalton . Later that month he made his debut for the South Korean national team at the 2016 World Cup in Division I , with which he also played in Division I in 2017 when he made his first promotion to the top division. He also represented South Korea at the 2017 Asian Winter Games , where the team finished second behind Kazakhstan .
