As a 15-year-old, the talented Hohenberger went to Canada in 1993 and played in the Western Hockey League . His first team were the Victoria Cougars .

Another year followed with the New Orleans Brass before he finally returned to Europe.
Two years in Villach was followed by the 2001/02 season in the DEL for the Revierlöwen Oberhausen .
