Career

Sebek began his career in 1979 with the Brantford Alexanders , which he left after a season and moved to the Niagara Falls Flyers . Before the start of the 1981/82 season , the Buffalo Sabers from the National Hockey League took him under contract, which had selected him in the NHL Entry Draft 1981 in the ninth round in 185th position. However, the defender did not complete a single NHL game for the "Sabers" and spent the following three seasons with the Peterborough Petes in the Ontario Hockey League and the Rochester Americans in the American Hockey League , with whom he won the Calder in the 1982/83 season Cup won.

For the season 1984/85 he then moved to the International Hockey League to the Flint Generals , which he left during the season in the direction of Toledo Goaldiggers . There he was active in sports until 1986 before he received a contract offer from Germany from EHC Freiburg for the 2nd Bundesliga ice hockey . Sebek celebrated promotion to the first Bundesliga with Freiburg in the 1987/88 season . He was then lured away by EV Landshut in 1989, for which he ran for two years until he moved to SB Rosenheim for the 1991/92 season.

After the native New Yorker moved to the Mannheim ERC for the following two seasons , he was drawn back to the newly founded German Ice Hockey League in Rosenheim to join the outsourced “ Starbulls ”. For the 1995/96 season he finally switched to the Kassel Huskies , with whom he moved into the play-offs for two years in a row and celebrated the German runner-up with them in 1997.

In the following season he ran with the "Huskies" in the European Hockey League , but the American suffered a serious injury after just three days in the DEL and had to end his career as a result.
