Mattias Weinhandl Biography

Mattias Weinhandl is one of the most popular and richest Ice Hockey Player who was born on June 1, 1980 in Ljungby, Kronoberg, Sweden. Mattias John Erich Weinhandl, a former professional ice hockey right winger from Sweden was born June 1, 1980. He last played for Linkopings HC in the Swedish Elitserien.

The New York Islanders selected Weinhandl 78th in the 1999 NHL Entry Draft. He played 182 NHL games with the Islanders and Minnesota Wild. He scored 19 goals and 37 assists, for 56 points. Two seasons later, he was able to overcome a serious eye injury and make the Islanders team.

The following season, Weinhandl was forced to start the season for the Islanders’ minor league team, the Bridgeport Sound Tigers, to rehab an ankle injury that kept him out of the 2003 playoffs and required surgery over the summer. Upon being deemed fit to play for the Islanders, Weinhandl played for the most part on a line with Alexei Yashin, and notched 20 points (eight goals and 12 assists) in 55 games.

In the 2006–07 season, Weinhandl was a healthy scratch in 13 of the team’s first 28 games (missing an additional three games after suffering a concussion) before being waived by the Wild on December 8, 2006.

Weinhandl, 19, was playing in a match against Czech Republic as part of the U-20 Four Nations Tournament. About 51 minutes into the match, Weinhandl was struck in his left eye by Michal Travnicek, a Czech player. Weinhandl had just hooked Travnicek in his hip area to stop him getting by him. Travnicek fell to the ground and, upon rising, attacked Weinhandl with the stick. He aimed it so that it reached under Weinhandl’s half-visor and struck the Swede in his face. Weinhandl suffered a fracture to his forehead and vision in his eye was reduced by 10%. International Ice Hockey Federation (IIHF), deemed the incident an attack, banned Travnicek’s participation in international hockey for three years.
