Rick Laycock (born January 12, 1962 in Calgary , Alberta ) is a former Canadian ice hockey player who was active in the 1st Bundesliga for the EHC Freiburg .

Career

Laycock began his career in the Canadian Junior Western Hockey League with the Calgary Wranglers . Although he came in his first season 1979/80 only on two missions, but he improved in the current years and was able to convince more and more.

In this way he also made himself attractive abroad. Since a jump in the American Hockey League or even in the National Hockey League was rather unlikely, Laycock consequently moved to the National League B in Switzerland for EHC Olten . There he stood out due to his strong performances and only one year later he joined the ERC Selb in what was then the third highest German division, the 2nd League South. After another two years at Augsburg EV , he was at the height of his career. With his new employer, the EHC Freiburg, he achieved his best career values ​​and was able to improve continuously. Particularly noteworthy was the 1987/88 season when he scored 94 points in 49 games for Freiburg and then rose to the 1st Bundesliga.

Further career stations were the ERC Westfalen Dortmund , which he had to leave in 1990 due to financial difficulties, and the EC KAC in the Austrian Bundesliga . Rick Laycock ended his career at his previous place of work, with the Augsburg Panthers, for which he scored 31 scorer points in 49 games in his final 1995/96 season .
