Career

Hegen spent his youth in his hometown Kaufbeuren , where he learned to play ice hockey in the youth department of the ESV Kaufbeuren and was active there as a goalkeeper. After he had completed the Junior World Championship in 1980 with the German U20 national team , he played from the 1981/82 season as a regular goalkeeper Kaufbeurens in the ice hockey Bundesliga . He had been in the team's squad since the 1977/78 season and in the spring of 1980 he won the championship title of the 2nd ice hockey league and the associated promotion to the ice hockey upper house. Hegen remained loyal to the club until the summer of 1989 and during this time made the interim jump into the German national ice hockey team , for which he stood three times in the 1982/83 season - including at the Izvestia Cup .

For the 1989/90 season Hegen left the ESV Kaufbeuren and joined the EHC 80 Nuremberg in the 2nd Bundesliga. There he spent a total of five seasons until the summer of 1994, before moving again - this time to the Kassel Huskies in the German Ice Hockey League (DEL), which has now been established . The goalkeeper stayed with the huskies for just over a season. During the 1995/96 season he was drawn back to ESV Kaufbeuren. With the eagles , Hegen finally ended his time in the top German league.

Before the 1996/97 season, Hegen joined the ERC Sonthofen , which had just been promoted to the second-rate Hacker-Pschorr league . With his experience he did his part to stay up. In the following season, the Sonthofener held the class, but the goalkeeper left the club and returned one more time to his home club in Kaufbeuren. This had got into economic difficulties and had withdrawn from the ongoing DEL games during the 1997/98 season due to the insolvency applied for . For the 1998/99 season , the club therefore dared a new start in the fourth-class 2nd ice hockey league with Hegen . With Hegen succeeded in the 1999/2000 season winning the championship title of the southern season of the fourth-highest division renamed Regionalliga . After another season in the third-rate ice hockey league , the keeper ended his active career a few weeks before his 42nd birthday.

After a break of several years, Hegen began working as a coach at his home club. In the 2012/13 season he initially looked after the U16 team of ESV Kaufbeuren in the school league and the women's team in the women's ice hockey regional league . The following year he was goalkeeping coach of the men's professional team in the DEL2 . Between 2016 and 2018 he was again mainly responsible for the women's team, which was still active in the second class.
