Mark Derlago (born January 17, 1986 in Brandon , Manitoba ) is a former Canadian ice hockey player who played particularly successfully in North America in the ECHL and was active in the highest ice hockey leagues in Denmark , Asia and Great Britain . In Germany he played in the 2nd Bundesliga ice hockey for the Lausitzer Füchse .

Career

Junior

Derlago began his career as a hockey player with the Portage Terriers in the Manitoba Junior Hockey League . Since he was very small and skinny as a teenager, he was not drafted by any team in the Canadian junior leagues despite good performances as a 15-year-old . Nevertheless, in 2003, when he was 17, his dream came true for the junior team in his hometown, the Brandon Wheat Kings , which are organized in the Western Hockey League , one of the most important Canadian junior leagues. He developed into one of the most successful goal scorers on his team and was their team captain in his last season as a junior . Even in his junior years he was called Billy , after his uncle Bill Derlago , who also played for the Wheat Kings in the 1970s and later played more than 500 NHL games in his career .

ECHL

As a 21-year-old he moved to California for two seasons in 2007, where he was signed by the Bakersfield Condors in the ECHL and also used by the Manitoba Moose in the American Hockey League during both seasons . In both seasons he was the Condors' most successful goalscorer. For the 2009/10 season he moved within the ECHL closer to his home region in the northwest of the USA to the Idaho Steelheads . With the Steelheads he reached the final of the Kelly Cup , was the best goal and points player in his team and the player with the highest plus / minus balance in the entire league. In the following season 2010/11 he was again both the most successful scorer of his team and one of the best points players in the entire league. During his time in Idaho , he also had a few appearances in the AHL , for the Providence Bruins and the Texas Stars . In a 2018 election of the 30 most important (Greatest) ECHL players of all time, Derlago was listed in 29th place.

Asia and Europe

Derlago had the intention to move to Europe and so the Lausitzer Füchse could sign him for the 2nd Bundesliga in April 2011 . For the club from East Saxony he was the top commitment for the 2011/12 season and Derlago was the most successful goalscorer of his team at the end of the season, which achieved one of the best results in its second division history with 6th place after the main round.

After the season, the Canadian moved to the Asia League Ice Hockey for the South Korean club Anyang Halla . In this league he was also active for two more seasons for the Japanese team Nikko IceBucks . According to his own statement, he liked his time very much, which he played in the Danish ice hockey league Metal Ligaen . Here he ran on the ice for the clubs Aalborg Pirates and Esbjerg Energy . With the Esbjergs he reached the play-off final in the 2014/15 season when Andrew Clark , with whom he played for the Wheat Kings as a junior, was his strike partner. He called Nottingham as the former venue where he would most like to live, however, for whose ice hockey team the Panthers he was active in the British ice hockey league in the 2017/18 season . At all of his foreign stations Derlago was either the most successful goalscorer or was one of the most successful scorers of his clubs.

After his active career, he took over the position of assistant coach at his junior club Brandon Wheat Kings in 2019 and played in the Tiger Hills Hockey League, a Canadian senior league in his home region.
