Brett Breitkreuz (born April 6, 1989) is a Canadian-German former professional ice hockey player. He most notably played in the Deutsche Eishockey Liga (DEL).

Playing career

[edit]

As a junior player, he was active in the Western Hockey League and played his first season (2006-07) for the Kelowna Rockets. For the next season he was acquired by the new team in this league the Edmonton Oil Kings. In his second season for the Kings (2008-09), he scored 55 points (19 goals, 36 assists), was alternate captain and got with his team the play-offs for the first time in his history.

During the 2009-10 season, in January 2010, Breitkreuz was traded to the Vancouver Giants.[1]

After his junior career, he moved to Germany, where his father came from, and previously played with Kölner Haie for three seasons before signing with the Augsburger Panther on a one-year contract on April 23, 2013.[2][3]

On May 26, 2015, Breitkreuz moved to the German second tier DEL2, joining his brother Clarke Breitkreuz, in signing a one-year contract with Löwen Frankfurt.[4]

Following three years in his second stint with Frankfurt, Breitkreuz announced his retirement at the conclusion of the 2023–24 season, ending his 14-year professional career.[5]
