Peter Jason A. van Elswyk (also written: Peter van Elswijk ) (born May 10, 1974 in Hamilton , Ontario ) is a retired Canadian basketball player .
After studying in the United States , the Canadian international tried his hand at playing as a professional in Europe, for which he took the Dutch citizenship of his ancestors, as he benefited from the changes following the Bosman decision . In the highest European leagues, there were usually only short-term contracts, so that van Elswyk was usually only able to book a few appearances for a club, including four appearances for the Haribo Towers from London in the newly created ULEB Euroleague as the highest-ranking European club competition. In the 2000/01 season van Elswyk then had four appearances for the then first division club BCJ Tigers from Hamburg in the German basketball league . Most of the attention, however, attracted an incident away from the championship games, when van Elswyk was severely hit by his teammate Duane Woodward during training and had to be hospitalized with facial injuries. Woodward, top scorer of the Hamburg team, was then dismissed. After he had played for the league competitor Stadtsport from Braunschweig at the end of the season , van Elswyk was then still active in the second highest Italian league Legadue and the "English Basketball League", which is also the second highest national league below the British Basketball League . Later, van Elswyk played in the lower class Italian Serie C regional for various clubs from Abruzzo .
