Michael "Mike" Hoeffel (born April 9, 1989) is an American-German professional ice hockey winger, who is currently an unrestricted free agent. He most recently played for Krefeld Pinguine, then of the Deutsche Eishockey Liga (DEL).

Playing career

Hoeffel played collegiately for the Minnesota Golden Gophers men's ice hockey, which competes in the WCHA after playing high school hockey for the Hill-Murray Pioneers of Minnesota. He was selected by the New Jersey Devils in the 2nd round (57th overall) of the 2007 NHL Entry Draft, and made his professional debut with New Jersey's AHL affiliate, the Albany Devils.

On July 25, 2014, Hoeffel was signed as a free agent to a one-year AHL contract with the Springfield Falcons.{{cite web|url=http://www.falconsahl.com/news/news/?article_id=336 |title=Falcons sign Mike Hoeffel, Hubert Labrie to AHL contracts |publisher=Springfield Falcons |date=2014-07-25 |accessdate=2014-07-25 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20140808041800/http://www.falconsahl.com/news/news/?article_id=336 |archivedate=2014-08-08 }} In the 2014–15 season, Hoeffel contributed to the Falcons in a checking line role and recorded a professional high 9 goals in 62 games.

In the following 2015–16 season, Hoeffel was un-signed before belatedly returning to the Falcons, who had changed NHL affiliations, on a professional try-out contract on November 27, 2015.{{Cite web|last=|first=|date=November 27, 2015|title=FALCONS SIGN HOEFFEL AND DISALVATORE, AULIE RELEASED|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151208161446/http://www.falconsahl.com/news/news/?article_id=715|url=http://www.falconsahl.com/news/news/?article_id=715|archive-date=December 8, 2015|access-date=January 20, 2021|website=Springfield Falcons}} Having featured in only four scoreless games with the Falcons, Hoeffel sought a release from his try-out with Springfield and signed his first contract abroad in agreeing to a contract for the remainder of the year with Norwegian club Stavanger Oilers of the GET-ligaen, on December 14, 2015.{{cite web | url = http://www.oilers.no/index.cfm?id=428865 | title = Mike Hoeffel ready for Oilers | publisher = Stavanger Oilers | date = 2015-12-14 | accessdate = 2015-12-14 | language = Norwegian | url-status = dead | archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20151222172242/http://www.oilers.no/index.cfm?id=428865 | archivedate = 2015-12-22 }}

In possessing a German passport through his heritage, Hoeffel first played in Germany with Eispiraten Crimmitschau of the DEL2, before joining and playing the next three seasons in the DEL with the Fischtown Pinguins.

After the 2018–19 season, Hoeffel left Fischtown to sign a one-year contract with fellow DEL outfit, the Iserlohn Roosters, on March 29, 2019.{{cite web| url = https://iserlohn-roosters.de/2019/03/29/dreierpack-fuer-den-seilersee/ | title = Three signings for Iserlohn | website = Iserlohn Roosters | date = 2019-03-29 | accessdate = 2019-03-29 | language = German}}
