Marek Pinc (born March 20, 1979 in Most , Czechoslovakia ) is a former Czech ice hockey goalkeeper who was active for many years at HC Litvínov , HC Vítkovice Steel and the Bílí Tygři Liberec in the Czech extra league.

Career

Marek Pinc began his career with the Czech first division club HC Chemopetrol Litvínov , for whom he made his debut in the Extra League in the 1996/97 season . In the following season he took part with Litvínov in the European Hockey League and played four games, in the Extraliga, however, he was only back-up from Zdeněk Orct .

In the 1999/2000 season Pinc was still the second goalkeeper of HC Litvínov, but also came to appearances in the third division at HC Baník Most . Since he was not satisfied with his role as back-up, he moved to HC Vagnerplast Kladno before the 2000/01 season , for which he completed 42 appearances in the extra league . In summer 2001 he returned as number 1 to HC Chemopetrol Litvínov and played for this club until 2003. Then he moved to HC Vítkovice .

In the 2006/07 season the HC Vítkovice did not qualify for the play-offs, so that Pinc was loaned to the Swiss first division club Friborg-Gottéron . For Friborg, he played four games in the play-outs of the NLA, before he was signed in March 2007 for the NLB play- offs and promotion relegation from EHC Biel . However, the team from Biel failed in the relegation against the SCL Tigers and thus remained in the NLB. Pinc then returned to HC Vítkovice and began the 2007/08 season there, before he was loaned by the Bílí Tygři Liberec due to the change of goalkeeper Milan Hnilička .

In the early summer of 2008, the designated KHL participant Awtomobilist Yekaterinburg , who already had two other Czech players under contract, tried to sign Marek Pinc despite an existing contract with HC Vítkovice. With the exclusion of Yekaterinburg from the KHL in mid-July 2008, these efforts became obsolete. Pinc therefore stayed in Vítkovice and completed a total of 36 games for his club. After the 2008/09 season, however, he did not get a contract extension because the club relied on Jakub Štěpánek as goalkeeper in the future . As a result, Pinc was initially without a club. It was only in October 2009 that he signed a two-year contract with the Bílí Tygři Liberec, because their goalkeeper, Tero Leinonen , was injured. This contract was extended for two more years in April 2011 before Pinc was transferred to HC Sparta Prague in January 2013 . For Sparta he was used in 13 Extraliga games.

From September 2013 Pinc was under contract with HK Ertis Pawlodar from the Kazakh ice hockey league and won the Kazakh championship title with the club in 2014 . In addition, he was statistically the best goalkeeper in the league ( catch rate and goals against goals ). In 2015 he moved within the Kazakh league to HK Beibarys Atyrau before he was signed by the Sheffield Steelers in November 2011 .

In the 2016/17 season he ended his career at HC Most .

International

With the Czech junior team , Marek Pinc took part in the U18 European Ice Hockey Championship in 1997 and finished in fifth place. From 2004 Pinc was always at tournaments of the Euro Hockey League used or pre-season games of the national team, but only ten years later, he was reappointed for a world championship: He served on the Executive of the Czechs in the 2007 Men's World Ice Hockey Championships and 2008 and each came to one use.
