Career

Junior and college days in North America

Mark Heatley appeared for the first time in the 2001/02 season with the Calgary Canucks in the Alberta Junior Hockey League , for which he also appeared in the following season.

Over the next 2 years, Heatley skated for the Wisconsin Badgers on the University of Wisconsin ice hockey team , which is part of the US College League NCAA , and between 2005 and 2008 he put on the ice for The Hockey Blues, the University of Toronto ice hockey team who belong to the Canadian University League CIS in the Association of the Province of Ontario OUA . In his last college season in 2007/08, he was elected to the All-Star Team of the OUA Association.

Change to Europe

Also because of its relevance to Germany - Mark is in Freiburg born, his father from 1979 to 1984 in Freiburg and Garmisch-Partenkirchen played hockey - he received after his college career offers from the German 2nd Hockey League and moved to the 2008/09 season after Germany to the then second division EHC Munich . In his first season for Munich he was injured in the shoulder and could not play for 3 months, so that after 21 main round games (16 points) he was only used again in the play-offs. In the following season 2009/10 he played for the team from the Bavarian capital and was able to celebrate the championship of the 2nd Bundesliga with the Munich team. The EHC Munich then received the right to play in the highest German ice hockey league DEL for the coming 2010/11 season .

Heatley was not taken into account for the Munich DEL squad, however, so that he continued to play the Wölfen Freiburg in the 2nd German ice hockey league for the team in his hometown in the following 2010/11 season . However, the Breisgauer were relegated at the end of a disappointing season.

For the following season 2011/12 he was signed by the Bietigheim Steelers and thus continued to play in Germany's second highest ice hockey league. The Swabians, who had become second division champions in 2009, were in a sporting crisis at the time of Heatley's engagement, but were able to develop into a top team in the league again in the coming years. Mark Heatley ran for the team from the Porsche city on the ice in 4 seasons and was able to celebrate two championships during this time. Although he was never one of the team's top scorers, he was able to score more than 40 points in two seasons and was the most successful player of his team in the play-offs , especially in the 2013/14 season alongside Matt McKnight and Alexej Dimitriev .

For the 2015/16 season , Heatley moved to league rivals SC Riessersee , where his father Murray Heatley had also played in the late 1970s. After the season, despite a solid season from Heatley, they could not agree on a contract extension. After eight years in Germany's second-highest ice hockey league, in which he scored 269 points (113 goals) in 367 league games, he moved to Manchester Storm in the UK's highest ice hockey league, EIHL , for the 2016/17 season . In addition to playing ice hockey, he will also start studying again at the University of Salford . After a year in Manchester, during which he also obtained a Bachelor's degree, Heatley returned to Germany and was signed by the Heilbronner Falken . For the following season 2018/19 he moved to the Bayreuth Tigers within the DEL2 .
