Yannick Weber

Yannick Cyril Weber (born 23 September 1988) is a Swiss professional ice hockey defenceman for the ZSC Lions of the National League (NL).

As a youth, Weber played in the 2002 Quebec International Pee-Wee Hockey Tournament with a team from Central Switzerland.

[3] Weber scored his first career NHL goal during the 2009 playoffs, 20 April against Tim Thomas of the Boston Bruins.

[5] Weber contributed two goals during the Canadiens' first round 2011 playoff series against the Boston Bruins, both times beating Tim Thomas.

On 1 July 2016, Weber left the Canucks after three seasons, signing a one-year contract as a free agent with the Nashville Predators.

[11] On 6 June 2017, it was announced that Weber had turned down offers from Geneva and Lugano (that would have paid him more than CHF1.7 million a year over multiple seasons) to pursue his NHL career.

[13] After appearing in 26 games to begin the 2017–18 NHL season, the Predators opted to re-sign Weber yet again, this time to a two-year, $1.35 million contract worth $675,000 annually in January 2018.

He went on to represent his country three times at the World Junior Ice Hockey Championships, captaining the team at the 2008 tournament, where he scored 6 points in as many games.
