Ruedi Nideröst (born February 17, 1967 in Kappel SO ) is a former Swiss ice hockey player who worked for EHC Olten , HC Ajoie , HC Lugano , HC La Chaux-de-Fonds , EV Zug and EHC during his active career between 1987 and 2005 Biel played in National League A and National League B on the position of defender .

Career

The defender was initially active as an amateur player in the 1st division for SC Langenthal , before the then head coach of the EHC Olten Kent Ruhnke signed him for the professional squad of the National League B in 1987 . In his debut season, the 1987/88 season , the defensive defender quickly matured into a regular in the Olten team and achieved immediate promotion to the National League A with the team .

After advancing to the highest Swiss league, Nideröst stayed as a regular and missed only one qualifying round in four seasons in the jersey of the Olten team, with whom he was relegated to the National League B at the end of the 1991/92 season. Immediately after this season, the winner signed a contract with HC Ajoie . In the dress of the Jurassians , however, it was not possible to maintain the league in the National League A, so Nideröst had to accept the second descent of his professional career. As before after the first fall in the second highest league in the jersey of the EHC Olten, the right-wing shooter left the team again and agreed on a contractual relationship with HC Lugano .

As before in Olten and Pruntrut , the defender became a leading player at the Luganesi . Nideröst defended a total of four seasons for the Ticino , before the hard-shooting right-handed player moved to HC La Chaux-de-Fonds in 1997 within the National League A. For this, the Swiss national defender was also in action for four seasons and completed two seasons each in the National League A and B. After a transfer to SC Langnau had failed, he terminated his current contract with relegated HC La Chaux-de-Fonds in June 2001 and was then committed for two years by EV Zug , who reacted to the departures of Patrick Sutter and Dino Kessler .

The reliable defensive player was also set in Zug and retained his regular place in the NLA squad even after an incident in March 2002 when he suffered a cervical vertebra fracture and underwent an operation in a playoff game after a gang check by Lugano striker Jean-Jacques Aeschlimann had to leave. He finally made his comeback in the dress of Zug in the 2002/03 season . From 2003 to 2005, the physically strong defender let his professional career end with EHC Biel in the National League B, with which he won the championship of the second highest Swiss league in 2004. Most recently he suffered from burnout syndrome and then fully focused on his work as a teacher .

In the course of his professional career, Nideröst completed a total of 497 National League A games during the qualifying round. The defender has 198 appearances in National League B.

International

Nideröst played a total of eleven international matches wearing the Swiss national team , all of which he played during the tenure of national coach John Slettvoll . However, the tall and physically strong player did not take part in a major international tournament.

Achievements and Awards

Private

Nideröst is married and has three daughters. Since ending his professional career in 2005, he has been teaching 100 percent as a teacher at a secondary school in Kerzers . As early as 2003, he had worked as a teacher on a 70 percent basis, while Nideröst was still active as an ice hockey player at EHC Biel in the National League B. He started his secondary teacher training at the beginning of his professional career, when the Swiss citizen was active for the EHC Olten and was studying at the University of Bern .
