René Stüssi (born December 13, 1978 ) is a Swiss ice hockey player who has been playing in the Regio League for Pikes EHC Oberthurgau since 2013 .

Career

René Stüssi, who completed an apprenticeship as a carpenter and completed a commercial apprenticeship , was quickly recognized as one of the greatest talents in Swiss ice hockey . First, the striker went on the ice for a local ice hockey team in Kreuzlingen , before he was active in the first division - the highest Swiss amateur level - for the EHC Uzwil . At the age of 18 he made his breakthrough in National League B with HC Thurgau , when the offensive player recorded a total of 60 points in 50 games in the 1996/97 season . Then the elected him Mighty Ducks of Anaheim in the NHL Entry Draft in 1997 in the eighth round of a total of 209. position. However, Stüssi never received an invitation to an NHL training camp and did not complete a game in North America in the course of his career. In his subsequent NLA engagements in the jersey of Kloten Flyers , EV Zug , ZSC Lions and EHC Chur , however, the playmaker fell short of expectations and did not manage to finally establish himself in the top Swiss league.

His move to the NLB club EHC Basel in the 2001/02 season had a positive effect on Stüssi's performance. There he again scored, as in the 1996/97 season at HC Thurgau, for the first time again significantly more than one point per game and in 2003 achieved promotion to the national league A with the Basel team. After a season in the top division, however, he was relegated directly in the National League B. For his youth club HC Thurgau, the offensive player was then on the ice for three years, in which, after relegation to the third class first division at the end of the 2005/06 season, he returned to the NLB. As the most successful point collector in the playoffs, the son of a Swiss and a Thai woman had made a significant contribution to the success. In 2007 Stüssi ended his professional career and then continued his career in the second highest amateur league, the 2nd division, at the Pikes EHC Oberthurgau . With the club in 2008 the promotion in the first division was achieved. After four years in Oberthurgau's dress, Stüssi signed on for the 2011/12 season at EHC Uzwil in the third-class first division. After serving there in the position of team captain in the 2012/13 season , Stüssi returned to the Pikes EHC Oberthurgau for the 2013/14 season.

Stüssi is seen as an actor who relies less on physical strengths than the one who acts with foresight and reacts accordingly. It can be used variably in both the center forward and the wing position. As a playmaker, he is excellent at handling the puck. Other personal characteristics are his high success rate in scoring opportunities and Stüssi's generally relatively fair style of play.

International

For Switzerland , Stüssi was on the ice at junior level in a total of 92 international matches. He took part in the U18 European Junior Championships in 1996 and the World Junior Championships in 1997 and 1998 for the Swiss Confederation . At the U18 European Junior Championships in 1996, he was the most successful Swiss player with six scorer points together with team captain Laurent Müller and only just missed a medal win with the team. At the Junior World Cup in 1998, the striker won the bronze medal with Switzerland, with four points in seven games contributing to this success. The attacker never made it to the men's selection of his home country.
