William Schafhauser is an American retired ice hockey

defenseman and head coach who was an All-American for Northern Michigan.[1]

Career

Schafhauser began attending

NHL Entry Draft and then selected to play for the US junior team at the 1982 World Junior Ice Hockey Championships. The team finished a disappointing 6th place.[2]

After returning to

CCHA Tournament
. In his senior season, Schafhauser helped the club to a 4th-place finish but they possessed a losing record overall. Despite the poor record for his team, Schafhauser was named an All-American that season and followed his collegiate career by signing a professional contract.

He played most of the next three seasons for the Kalamazoo Wings but spent 8 games with the Hershey Bears in 1985–86. After wallowing in AA hockey, Schafhauser travelled to Europe and was a point-per-game player for Ritten Sport in 1988, but couldn't help the team stave off relegation. He found himself playing in the Swiss 'B' League the following season and played well enough to earn a contract with EV Zug in the 'A' League for 1990. Schafhauser remained with Zug for seven seasons, the last three serving as alternate captain, and helped the club capture the regular season title in 1995. They finished as tournament runners-up that year.

After retiring as a player, Schafhauser returned home to Minnesota and eventually became the head coach for the Hill-Murray School girls' ice hockey team. He coached at his alma mater for 13 seasons, leading to the team to a state championship in 2014 and 2015. He retired after the 2020 season.[3] He was inducted into the Northern Michigan Athletic Hall of Fame in 2008.[4]
