Roy Roedger (born October 11, 1958 in Weston , Ontario ) is a former German - Canadian ice hockey player .
Career
Like Manfred Wolf and Harold Kreis , Roy Roedger was one of the first German-Canadians to come to Germany from Canada in the ice hockey Bundesliga in the summer of 1979 . The trainer of the Mannheim ERC , Heinz Weisenbach , had searched through newspaper advertisements in Canada for players with German ancestors who could be naturalized immediately and who did not burden his team's foreign contingent. Roedger developed into an outstanding striker and played in Mannheim for six years . From the 1985/86 season to the 1989/90 season he played for the Düsseldorfer EG .
Like Manfred Wolf, he won the German championship title in 1980 with the Mannheim ERC and in 1990 with the Düsseldorfer EG .
During his career in Germany he scored 187 goals in 356 games in the main round.
Roedger gained dubious notoriety through his foul on Cologne striker Steve McNeill . With a stick stab he injured the opponent's eye so badly that part of his eyesight was only retained as a result of several operations. Roedger was banned for several games and sentenced to a compensation payment of 200,000 DM.
Roedger is a member of Germany's Ice Hockey Hall of Fame .
