Marcel Goc (born August 24, 1983 in Calw ) is a former German ice hockey player and current coach , who played 699 games for the San Jose Sharks , Nashville Predators , Florida Panthers , Pittsburgh Penguins and among others between 1999 and 2020 St. Louis Blues in the National Hockey League (NHL) and 388 other games in the German Ice Hockey League (DEL) on the position of the center . The 112-time German national player won the silver medal with the Olympic selection at the 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang .

Career

Goc began his ice hockey career at the age of three at ESG Esslingen , from where he moved to Schwenningen in 1997 to join the youngsters. Due to his talent, he made his debut in the Schwenninger Wild Wings jersey in the German Ice Hockey League at the age of 16. In his first year as a professional , he only made three assists in 51 of the 56 season games. In his second season, the striker increased his yield to 41 scorer points, which led to the fact that he was drawn in the 2001 NHL Entry Draft by the San Jose Sharks in the first round in 20th place. At that time, he was the German field player who was selected the earliest in an NHL draft, but was replaced by Leon Draisaitl in 2014 . Towards the end of the 2001/02 season he moved to the Adler Mannheim with whom he became German runner-up in the same year after a close final series against the victorious Kölner Haie . Goc stayed in Mannheim for another season before moving to North America to the San Jose Sharks following the 2002/03 season.

Marcel Goc (2014)

In his first year overseas, he played mostly with the Cleveland Barons , the then farm team of the San Jose Sharks, in the American Hockey League . Only in the course of the playoffs of the 2003/04 season he came to his first appearances in the NHL . In the five games he played, he scored one goal and set up another. Goc, whose first NHL goal also decided the playoff series against the Colorado Avalanche , is the first and so far only player in the history of the Sharks who made his debut for the franchise during the playoffs. Due to the lockout in the 2004/05 season , the German could not play any more games for San Jose. In contrast to some other German players, however, he stayed in North America to recommend himself to the farm team for the NHL squad. At the beginning of the 2005/06 season he finally got a regular place with the San Jose Sharks, mainly in the third and fourth storm rows as a defensive striker and in outnumbered situations. Nevertheless, he reached 22 points in 81 games and remained a regular player in the 2006/07 season, although he could not improve his offensive statistics. Due to the balanced squad, the oversupply of defensive strikers and back problems, Goc was used much less often in the first half of the 2007/08 season . This continued in the second half of the season as the internal competition was much more present than Goc, especially on the offensive. Nevertheless, the management decided, although his contract had expired, to keep him, unlike Patrick Rissmiller and Curtis Brown , and to equip him with a new one-year contract after both parties had initially agreed on a contract clarification before the NHL arbitration tribunal .

A year later, the Germans ended up with the Northern Californians despite a solid season with the Sharks. In August 2009, the Nashville Predators signed him for a year by two-way contract valid for the NHL and AHL. Since Goc had already set a new personal record with ten goals at the end of January 2010 and was only three scorer points away from his highest career value, the Predators extended the contract prematurely by one year on improved terms. On July 1, 2011, he signed a contract with the Florida Panthers . With the consent of the Florida Panthers, he switched back to the DEL during the NHL lockout in 2012 and played there for the Adler Mannheim.

Shortly before the trade deadline on March 5, 2014, Goc moved to the Pittsburgh Penguins in exchange for a third- and a five-round vote in the NHL Entry Draft . He stayed with the Penguins for almost a year before he was given to the St. Louis Blues in January 2015 in exchange for Maxim Lapierre . In St. Louis, Goc ended the 2014/15 season and was henceforth looking for a new club as a free agent . On September 1, 2015, Adler Mannheim announced that the center was returning to Germany and had signed a five-year contract in Mannheim.

In January 2017, Goc suffered a torn cruciate ligament, a torn external ligament, and a bruised bone and had to undergo surgery. Seven months later, he made his return in the Champions League. In November 2017 he suffered an upper body injury and played again in mid-December 2017. In the 2018/19 season he was plagued by injuries again: first he was out for six weeks due to a chest injury, shortly after returning to the ice, he had to sit out again from the end of October 2018 due to a patellar fracture that had to be treated surgically. In spring 2020 he retired from competitive sports.

After the end of his playing career in 2020, he stayed with the Adler Mannheim, became a member of the coaching staff and took on the task of working with young players on their further development.

International

Because of his talent, Goc already represented his home country in the junior area. It was first used at the age of 17 at the U20 World Junior Championship in 2000 . In the same year he also played in the U18 World Junior Championship . He was also used in both junior World Cup tournaments the following year . He also played at the U20 World Junior Championships in 2002 and 2003 . For the senior team , he ran at the World Championships in 2001 , 2003 , 2005 and 2008 on, as well as the 2004 World Cup of Hockey , the Olympic Winter Games in 2006 in Turin and 2010 in Vancouver . At the 2010 home World Cup , when Germany reached the semi-finals, Goc was the captain of the national team.

As a result, the Calwer-born competed in the 2012 , 2013 and 2016 World Championships . However, he crowned his international career at the 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang , where he won the silver medal with the DEB selection and was the captain of the German team. He resigned from the national team in April 2018. Goc played a total of 112 international matches for Germany, scoring 17 goals and 16 assists.
