Richard Rochefort (born January 7, 1977 in North Bay , Ontario ) is a Canadian ice hockey player who was last under contract with the Augsburg Panthers in the German Ice Hockey League .
Career
Richard Rochefort's career with the Sudbury Wolves began in 1994/95 in the Ontario Hockey League . After the first of the three years in this elite junior league it attracted the New Jersey Devils in the NHL Entry Draft in 1995 in the seventh round. The rest of the 1996/97 season he played with the Sarnia Sting .
Then the center-forward for the season 97/98 in the organization of the Devils was in their AHL - Farm Team Albany River Rats added. He played there for five years before he decided to move to Europe. He played for Ässät Pori in the Finnish SM-liiga , but after a little over six months he made a brief appearance in Switzerland at HC Ambrì-Piotta . In the 2004/05 season he was then employed in the first Italian division at HC Fassa . His first engagement in Germany ended after 39 games in the 2005/06 season. Because of the financial problems of the Lausitzer Füchse , where he was one of the best scorers, he left Weisswasser for Italy. With the SV Ritten he was even able to become vice-champion.
The move to the Iserlohn Roosters in the 2006/07 season probably led to the fact that both head coach Geoff Ward - from Albany - and assistant coach Bernd Haake - from Fassa - still knew Rochefort. With the Roosters he just missed the play-offs and then moved to the Seibu Prince Rabbits in the Asia League Ice Hockey , where he ran up as a defender. After the main round, he was in first place with his team, but failed in the semifinals against the Nippon Paper Cranes . The next year Rochefort made it to the finals with the Seibu Prince Rabbits, where they again lost to the Nippon Paper Cranes. In November 2009 Rochefort was obliged by the Augsburger Panthers from the DEL, which he left after one season.
