Marc Seliger (born May 1, 1974 in Iserlohn ) is a former German ice hockey goalkeeper who has completed 24 international A matches for the German national team .
Career
Seliger began his career with Starbulls Rosenheim , with whom he was active in the 1st Bundesliga in the 1993/94 season and in the German Ice Hockey League from 1994 . At the Starbulls he was the goalkeeper and conceded 3.02 goals per game in 44 main round games in the 1993/94 season. During the NHL Entry Draft 1993 he was selected by the Washington Capitals in the tenth round in a total of 251st position. After another season in Rosenheim and a year with league rivals Frankfurt Lions , he moved to North America to the Washington Capitals in the summer of 1996.
However, those in charge of the Capitals gave Seliger to the farm team , the Portland Pirates from the American Hockey League . After the 1996/97 season he returned to Germany. The German came in the end to six appearances in the AHL and 16 appearances in the East Coast Hockey League with the Hampton Roads Admirals . He never got a chance to prove himself in the National Hockey League .
Seliger initially joined the Krefeld Penguins , but after only a few months changed clubs again and then went on the ice for the Revierlöwen Oberhausen . In the Upper House leaders he was a total of two-year contract. During this time he could not celebrate any significant successes with the club. For the 1999/00 season he signed a contract with the then German runner-up Nuremberg Ice Tigers , for which he was active for four years. This was followed by a short interlude with the Adler Mannheim , before he moved to Wolfsburg in 2004 to join the Grizzly Adams there .
In April 2005 he unexpectedly ended his career due to persistent injury problems ( cruciate ligament tear / torn inner ligament on the knee).
