Career

As a player

Patrick Fischer began his career at EV Zug , for which he made his NLA debut in the 1992/93 season . In 1997 he moved to HC Lugano for two years , with whom he became Swiss champion in 1999 . In summer 1999 he signed a contract with HC Davos , for which he played until 2003 and again won the Swiss championship in 2002. At the age of 30 he made the leap to North America and played there for the Phoenix Coyotes in the National Hockey League during the 2006/07 season . He was also used in the Coyote farm team , the San Antonio Rampage . He scored four goals in 27 NHL games, making him the most common Swiss goalscorer in the NHL, but was overtaken by Mark Streit at the end of the 2006/07 season .

In the Coyotes training camp for the 2007/08 season , Patrick Fischer was told that he was no longer needed because he was too good for the third or fourth row, but there was no space available in the first two attack formations. So they wanted to send him to the farm team in San Antonio. With a contract offer from SKA St. Petersburg for around CHF 1 million , he initially returned to Zug and moved to Petersburg at the beginning of November 2007. On November 19, 2007 he made his debut in the Superliga for Petersburg and scored an assist against HK MWD Moskovskaya Oblast .

In December 2007 he was released from the SKA as a surplus foreigner and switched back to EV Zug. In spring 2009 Fischer announced his retirement from top-class sport. He was immortalized on the Wall of Fame of EV Zug , his shirt number 21 is no longer given by the EVZ.

As a trainer

After finishing his playing career, Fischer began working as a coach and was hired by HC Lugano as assistant coach for the elite juniors in June 2010. In the same calendar year, he received a promotion and, after Philippe Bozon's dismissal, was given the post of assistant coach at HC Lugano. Initially, he assisted under interim coach Mike McNamara until the end of the 2010/11 season , before he got the job as head coach of the elite juniors again. Fischer was subsequently confirmed in the same position under head coach Barry Smith for the 2011/12 season . From the 2013/2014 season to October 2015, Fischer was the head coach of HC Lugano. From December 2015 until May 2016, Fischer took over the Swiss national ice hockey team as head coach. The first tournament under Patrick Fischer, the Arosa Challenge 2015, was victorious for the Swiss national team. At the 2016 World Cup in Russia, Switzerland was eliminated in the preliminary round under Fischer's leadership. On June 9, 2016, Fischer received a two-year contract as national coach.
