Evan Kaufmann (born October 31, 1984) is a retired German-American professional ice hockey forward.

Playing career

Kaufmann, who is Jewish,[1] was born in Plymouth, Minnesota and graduated from Robbinsdale Armstrong High School at Plymouth in 2004.[2] His great-grandparents were murdered during the Holocaust.[3] At the University of Minnesota, Kaufmann played on the Golden Gophers hockey team and studied accounting at the Carlson School of Management. Kaufmann was a Western Collegiate Hockey Association scholar-athlete pick all four years at Minnesota.[4]

Kaufmann moved to Germany in 2008 and received German citizenship in order to play for the national team, DEG Metro Stars of Deutsche Eishockey Liga.[5] He is among the top scorers in the league. Kaufmann admits that his teammates are very curious about him being Jewish and often ask him questions. Kaufmann told the UK's Daily Mail: "I didn't have to think hard about it. It is a great honour but it will also be a very emotional moment for me when I hear the national anthem played."[6]

On February 16, 2012, Kaufmann agreed to leave DEG at season's end and signed with fellow DEL club, Nürnberg Ice Tigers,[7] where he played through the 2014-15 season. In July 2015, he announced his retirement from ice hockey.[8] He played a total of 315 games in the Deutsche Eishockey Liga and won 17 caps for the German Men's National Team, including seven outings at the 2012 World Championships.[9]
