from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Gerd Bleidorn (born May 14, 1958 in Minden / Westphalia) is a former German national sledge ice hockey player , trainer and functionary for disabled sports.

Club career

Bleidorn began to play sledge ice hockey at the age of thirty-eight. In the fall of 1996 he was the first German to ever take part in a sledge ice hockey game. His hometown club at the time, the RSG Hannover 94 , built up the first sledge ice hockey team in Hannover within two years. Since there were no opponents in Germany to date, the team initially competed against European teams. After new teams were founded in Dresden in 1998 and Bremen in 1999 , the official game operation of a sledge ice hockey league was started in 2000, from which the RSG emerged as the first German champions.

From 2011 he also looked after the Ice Lions Langenhangen as a player-coach and was twice champion with them.

Bleidorn completed a total of 182 sledge ice hockey games for Hanover in the German sledge ice hockey league and international tournaments in which he was able to achieve a total of 133 goals and 241 assists by March 2012 . On March 18, 2012 Bleidorn officially ended his playing career.

International career

In 2001 Bleidorn was active for the first time on an international level with a Germany selection. He became European champion with the German national team in April 2005 and thus qualified for the 2006 Winter Paralympics in Turin . At these Paralympic Games, the German team took fourth place. Bleidorn played a total of 125 sledge ice hockey games for Germany at international tournaments by March 2011, scoring 28 goals and 71 assists.
