Playing career

Fischhaber began his career with Tölzer Löwen, where he was a dynamic offensive player scoring 66 points in 70 games with the team.[1] He also proved to be a clutch playoff performer for Tölzer Löwen, netting 4 points in 5 playoff games.[2] In the 2007 CHL Import Draft, Fischhaber was chosen by the Sault Ste. Marie Greyhounds with the 55th overall selection.[3] At age 16, Simon joined the Sault Ste. Marie Greyhounds[4] of the Ontario Hockey League.[5] Simon was an outstanding defensive forward and penalty killer in his 2 seasons with the Greyhounds, scoring 2 goals and 17 points in 106 games spread over 2 seasons.[6] On 29 April 2009, Simon turned back to Germany and signed a two-year contract with the Sinupret Ice Tigers.[7]

International

Fischhaber was a member of the German national under-20 ice hockey team[8] and represented his country at the 2009 World Junior Ice Hockey Championships.[9] Fischhaber was perhaps Germany's best player in the tournament, scoring the game-winning goal in the team's lone win over Kazakhstan. He finished the tournament with 1 goal and 3 points in 4 games.[10]

Personal

His father Balthasar was a longtime member of EHC Klostersee, and his elder brother Christoph Fischhaber played two games for the Thomas Sabo Ice Tigers.[11]
