Wallace E. "Wally" Schreiber (born April 15, 1962 in Edmonton , Alberta ) is a former German - Canadian ice hockey player . During his career he played from 1981 to 2006 for the Minnesota North Stars in the National Hockey League as well as the Schwenninger ERC , EC Hedos Munich , EV Landshut and Hannover Scorpions in Germany.

Career

Schreiber began his career with the Fort Saskatchewan Traders in the Alberta Junior Hockey League . In 1981 he moved to the WHL to the Regina Pats , for whom he scored 68 goals in 88 games and gave 88 templates. Thanks to this successful season, he was selected in the 1982 NHL Entry Draft as 152nd by the Washington Capitals . From 1982 to 1986 he then played for the Fort Wayne Komets in the International Hockey League .

1986 to 1988 he played then mainly for the Canadian national team, which completed a special preparation program in preparation for the 1988 Winter Olympics in Calgary . Schreiber alone played 139 games in these two years. However, since all restrictions for professionals were lifted for the Olympic Games in 1988, Schreiber was not nominated for the Olympic Games despite his top performance in preparation. In between he gave his first short guest appearance in Europe at Wiener EV , for which he was used six times.

On October 6, 1987, he made his NHL debut with the Minnesota North Stars in the game against the St. Louis Blues . In his fourth game, seven days later, he scored his first goal and assist against the Philadelphia Flyers . In two seasons he came to 41 games and 18 points scorer (8 goals / 10 assists). During the 1988/89 season he played again in parallel for the Fort Wayne Komets and the Kalamazoo Wings in the IHL.

Since he could not establish himself in the NHL, Schreiber moved to Germany. There he became known through his years at SERC Wild Wings , for which he played in the 1st Bundesliga from 1989 . During this time, he and his two storm partners Bruce Hardy and Grant Martin formed one of the most successful storm series in the 1st Bundesliga. As an ice hockey player he is a good technician, combined with a quick skating ability and an eye for his fellow players.

He joined the season 1993/94 the EC Hedos Munich and contributed as top scorer of the league with 30 goals and 41 templates significantly to the German championship for Munich in.

When the DEL was founded, Schreiber moved to EV Landshut after only one year in Munich . His 81 scorer points in the 1994/95 season were only enough for the runner-up with the Landshutern. This remained the greatest success with the Landshutern. In 1996 , 1997 and 1998 Schreiber retired with the EVL in the semi-finals, and in 1999 even in the quarter-finals.

In 1999, Schreiber decided to move to the Hanover Scorpions , with whom further titles were not to be expected. But in 2001 he was able to celebrate the greatest success in the history of the Scorpions with the sensational semi-finals. In all other seasons, however, the Scorpions did not reach the playoffs. After the 2002/03 season, Schreiber officially ended his career, but then continued it at Schwenninger ERC in the 2nd Bundesliga ice hockey for two years. In the summer of 2005, he ended his career again in Schwenningen with a moving action that had not yet been seen in the Bauchenberg Stadium. Wally Schreiber took off his skates at the end of the game and placed them in the center circle of the ice surface. It was a moving moment in the Bauchenberg Stadium in Schwenningen for the fans of the second division SERC Wild Wings and for the main actor. On March 28, 2005, after Schwenninger's defeat in the seventh quarter-final game against Bremerhaven, Schreiber ended his professional ice hockey career at the age of 43, which he had started in 1981 with Regina Pets in the Western Hockey League and returned to his Canadian homeland.

However, the Hanover Scorpions, who had suffered from numerous injuries, were able to reactivate the now 43-year-old Schreiber again during the 2005/06 season .

In the DEL, he played a total of 555 games from 1994 to 2006, in which he scored 506 points scorer (205 goals / 301 assists) and collected 383 penalty minutes. Before the start of the 2006/07 season, he was in second place behind Mike Bullard in the all-time scorer and goalscorer classification of the DEL .

International

With the national ice hockey team of Canada , he won the silver medal at the 1992 Winter Olympics in Albertville and the 1994 Winter Olympics .
