Marco Bührer (born October 9, 1979 in Dielsdorf ZH ) is a former Swiss ice hockey goalkeeper who was under contract with SC Bern in the National League A from 2001 to 2016 . During this time he was three times Swiss champion and one Swiss cup winner with the club .

Career

Marco Bührer spent his time as a junior at EHC Bülach and EHC Kloten . For Kloten he played his first NLA game during the 1998/99 season because Reto Pavoni was injured. After a season in the NLB at HC Thurgau , he moved to the 2000/01 season at EHC Chur in the National League A and the following year he moved to SC Bern.

Bührer played from the 2001/02 season at SC Bern, where he succeeded the goalkeeper legend Renato Tosio . Since then he has been the undisputed number 1 goal at SC Bern.

Marco Bührer (2012)

With SC Bern he became Swiss champion for the first time in his career in 2003/04 . In the 2006/07 season he reached the playoff final with the SCB, but failed at HC Davos . In the seasons 2009/10 , 2012/13 and 2015/16 he won the Swiss championship again with the Berners. In September 2013 Bührer extended his contract with SC Bern until the end of the 2015/16 season.

End of career

Bührer struggled with various injuries in the 2015/16 season and had to end his season early in November when he had to undergo surgery due to persistent pain in his foot. The now 36-year-old then declared that he would not continue his career. Until his resignation, he played 800 games for SC Bern.

International

Marco Bührer began early in his career to represent his home country in international championships. As a junior player, he took part in the U18 European Championship in 1997 and in the U20 World Championship in 1998 and 1999 . From 2003 Bührer played for the men's national team and took part in the 2003 , 2004 , 2005 and 2006 World Cups. He was also a member of the Swiss squad at the 2006 Winter Olympics , but was never used.

particularities

  • Like Dominik Hašek , Marco Bührer does not wear a goalkeeper mask with integrated lattice protection, but a helmet-lattice protection combination.
  • On January 18, 2013, Bührer set a new Swiss record. He stayed exactly 269 minutes and 9 seconds without conceding a goal over five games.
  • In the 2006/07 season the curious situation arose when Marco Bührer, as SC Bern's goalkeeper, was declared a goal scorer in the game against EHC Basel. A minute earlier he was the last player on his team to touch the puck in a defensive action. Immediately after this contact, a penalty was reported against one of his teammates. They avoided touching the puck in order to (regularly) delay the penalty. The goal came because a Basel defender missed his striker's sharply played back pass and the striker slid into the empty goal.
