Career

As a player

Travis Green began his career as a hockey player with the Spokane Chiefs , where he was active from 1986 to 1990 in the Canadian Western Hockey League . During the NHL Entry Draft 1989 he was selected in the second round in 23rd position by the New York Islanders . After the attacker had played for a year with the Medicine Hat Tigers and two years with the Capital District Islanders - the then farm team of the New York Islanders - he was accepted into the professional squad of the New York Islanders in the 1992/93 season . He played 61 games in the National Hockey League , in which he scored 25 points. In the following season, Green received more ice age, completed 83 NHL games and reached 40 points. In the following years he was one of the permanent staff of the Islanders and improved significantly. In the 1995/96 and 1996/97 seasons he reached 70 and 64 points respectively in the regular season.

In the following year, however, it dismantled and was given to the Mighty Ducks of Anaheim together with Doug Houda and Tony Tuzzolino for Joe Sacco , Jean-Jacques Daigneault and Mark Janssens . There he scored a total of 47 points in 105 games. He switched to the Phoenix Coyotes in 1999 as an exchange for Oleg Twerdowski . In Phoenix he was still unable to build on the form of previous years and after two years the management transferred him, together with Robert Reichel and Craig Mills for Daniil Markow to the Toronto Maple Leafs . While he was able to produce mostly good performances in the 2001/02 season and reached the play-offs with the team, he only managed 24 points in the following season. For the 2003/04 season , Green ran for the Boston Bruins on the ice. It no longer found the shape it had shown in New York. After the 2005/06 season , which he had ended with Boston, those responsible did not extend his contract and he became a so-called free agent .

Travis Green then signed another contract with the Ducks, which he had been a member of from 1998 to 1999. After only seven NHL games and two scorer points, the Ducks put Travis Green on the waiver list. He was signed by the Toronto Maple Leafs , where he played 24 games and did not collect a single scorer point. At the end of the season, the Leafs did not offer him a new contract and he remained without a club until he found a new employer in November 2007 when the Swiss ice hockey club EV Zug signed him. In 29 games he achieved a good playing time with twenty points in the National League A , in which he won the prestigious Spengler Cup with Team Canada . He ended his career after the 2007/08 season.

At the international level, Green represented his native Canada at the 1996 , 1997 and 1998 World Championships . After winning the silver medal with the maple leaves in 1996, the gold medal was won the following year. In total, the striker played 25 World Cup games in which he scored eight goals and twelve assists.
