Florian Iberer (born December 7, 1982 in Graz ) is an Austrian ice hockey player who has been under contract with VEU Feldkirch from the Alps Hockey League since January 2019 . His brothers Matthias and Martin are also ice hockey players. His sister Anna is a youth Olympic silver medalist.

Career

Florian Iberer began his career at EC Graz at the age of six before playing for the newly founded EC Graz 99ers from 1999 . In 2000 he won the national ice hockey league championship with the 99ers and was promoted to the Austrian ice hockey league . Within the next five years he established himself in the men's team of the 99ers, but was also used in the U20 juniors of the club during the 2001/02 season. In the Austrian ice hockey league he was less noticeable for scorer points than for solid defensive work. As a result, he was able to achieve positive plus / minus statistics from 2003 onwards .

In 2005 he decided to move to the USA and initially received a contract with the Bakersfield Condors from de ECHL . At the Condors, however, Iberer was only the seventh defender after the training camp, so the coach of Bakersfield advised him to change clubs. A few days later Iberer was signed by the Quad City Mallards from the UHL . However, since the Mallards coach was looking for an offensive defender, the Mallards sent Iberians to the Elmira Jackals , with whom he quickly established himself. In 61 games this season for the Jackals, he scored 30 points scorer. During the following summer break, Iberer moved to the ECHL to the Alaska Aces , for which, however, he only completed 49 games and was otherwise not used as a surplus defender. Therefore, he left the Aces in the summer of 2007 and was signed by the Kalamazoo Wings , which were then participating in the IHL . At the Wings he was immediately one of the regular players and scored 30 points scorer in the first 33 games of the season, so that in the middle of the season he was the top defender in the league. This prompted several clubs from Austria to send contract offers to Iberians. He decided in mid-January 2008 for a contract until the end of the 2008/09 season with EHC Linz , where his brother Matthias also played. With the EHC, Iberer reached the win of the basic season of the 2007/08 season and advanced to the playoff semi-finals. In the summer of 2009, his contract in Linz expired and left the EHC. He then signed a two-year contract with his home club, the EC Graz 99ers. The 99ers won the regular season of the 2009/10 season . Iberer had previously contracted myocarditis in January 2010 , which forced him to end the season prematurely. As a result, he only played 27 games for the Graz 99ers in the 2009/10 season.

By 2011 Iberer had completed over 360 league games in the EBEL for the Graz 99ers and the EHC Linz. In the summer of 2011, after not getting a new contract in Graz, he took part in the training camp of the Dresden Ice Lions and received a contract before the start of the season. As a result, he established himself within the team as a strong offensive defender who, after the main round of the 2nd Bundesliga, was the third-best scorer within the team and the top scorer of all defenders throughout the league. As a result, Iberer was named the best defender in the 2nd Bundesliga in March 2012 by a committee consisting of experts from the magazine Eishockey News and the head coach of the 2nd Bundesliga.

In spring 2012 Iberer received a contract with IF Troja-Ljungby from HockeyAllsvenskan . When he was unable to assert himself there, he switched to EC KAC in December of the same year , with which he became Austrian champion in 2013 . Between June 2014 and summer 2016 he was under contract with the Vienna Capitals and completed over 120 EBEL games for the club. He then moved to Cracovia Krakow for a short time to play for the Polish team in the Champions Hockey League . After Cracovia left, he traveled to North America and was signed by the Reading Royals from the ECHL .

From May 2017 Florian Iberer was back under contract with the Graz 99ers and played for the club in 31 games (3 goals, 4 assists) before his contract was terminated in January 2018.

International

From 1998 Florian Iberer represented his home country in international tournaments, first in the U18 and later in the U20 national team. In 1999 he took part with the U18 selection at the U18 Junior B World Championship in France and won the silver medal. In 2002 he was part of the squad of the U20 national team, which took second place in the U20 Junior World Championship in Division I.

In 2005 he was appointed to the men's national team for the first time and made his first international matches at the Slovakia Cup and during preparations for the World Cup. In total, he made 16 international matches for the Austrian national team by 2008. In February 2008 Iberer was appointed to the squad for the Euro Ice Hockey Challenge .

In July 2010 Florian Iberer and his brother Martin took part in the Inline Hockey World Championship , where Team Austria won Division I.
