Robert W. Davison (born May 1, 1980 in St. Catharines , Ontario ) is a former Canadian ice hockey player and current coach who was appointed to the position of defender . In his career he played 219 games in the National Hockey League , mostly for the San Jose Sharks . Most recently Davison acted as assistant coach at HK Dinamo Minsk .
Career
Davison began his career in the Ontario Hockey League with the North Bay Centennials , where he shone mainly through his excellent defensive work on the ice. In total, he played three seasons at North Bay. In his last season he was the team's assistant captain and was also voted the team's best defensive player.
Then Davison began his career in the American Hockey League with the Kentucky Thoroughblades , the then farm team of the San Jose Sharks , who had selected him in the 1998 NHL Entry Draft in the fourth round at position 98. After the team moved from Lexington to Cleveland , Davison played two more seasons with the farm team before he was called to the NHL team for the first time after moving from Bryan Marchment to the Colorado Avalanche in March 2003 . In the 2003/04 season Davison became a fixture on the Sharks defensive. So it was in the 2005/06 season after the Canadians the lockout - 2004/05 season at the Cardiff Devils in the Elite Ice Hockey League had spent. Due to the great competition in defense in the San Joses squad, Davison was rarely used in the 2006/07 season and made 22 appearances. In the 2007/08 season , Davison was only 15 times for the Sharks on the ice and an interim retraining as a defensively oriented winger did not bring him a permanent place in the balanced squad, whereupon he was in late February 2008 for a seven-round draft pick to the New York Islanders was transferred. There he immediately received a regular place in defense and was able to score two points in the 19 remaining games of the season. Among them was a goal against the Toronto Maple Leafs , which he scored with a clearance shot outnumbered from behind his own goal line against his former teammate Vesa Toskala , at the same time - with 174 feet (about 53 meters) measured by the NHL - one of the greatest distance scored goals in the history of the league.
Despite the interim career high in New York, Davison did not extend the expiring contract with the Islanders and moved back to the North American west coast to the Vancouver Canucks as a free agent . They mostly used him as the seventh defender, which meant he only played 23 games this season. On July 31, 2009, he signed a contract with the New Jersey Devils , played an NHL assignment and played mostly on the farm team in the AHL.
After two seasons in Europe at HC Oceláři Třinec in the Czech Republic and EC Red Bull Salzburg in Austria, the Canadian returned to North America in July 2013 and rejoined the organization of the San Jose Sharks, where he signed a one-year contract. Davison was used exclusively in the Worcester Sharks farm team in the AHL in the 2013/14 season . In the summer of 2014 he ended his playing career and became a coach.
He began his coaching career at EC Red Bull Salzburg in the Austrian Ice Hockey League , where he worked as an assistant coach between 2014 and 2016 and contributed to winning the 2015 and 2016 championship titles. Following the 2015/16 season, he moved to HK Dinamo Minsk in the Continental Hockey League (KHL) in the same position .
