Douglass Weiss (born circa 1965)[1] is a retired American professional ice hockey player.

## Career[edit]

Weiss played 100 games with Dartmouth College, where he captained the Big Green during the 1987–88 season, Weiss' senior year.[2] Weiss joined the Springfield Indians after the Big Green completed the season, scoring one goal in his only game with the team. Weiss returned to the Indians during the 1988-89 AHL season, scoring fourteen points in thirty-two games.

Weiss joined the Johnstown Chiefs for the 1989-90 ECHL season and scored a career-high 19 goals in 40 games, which was the fourth highest total on the team despite only playing a fraction of the games.

In 1991, Weiss was a member of the United States select team and attended 1991 Olympic training camp. After completion of camp, Weiss became the first American to play in the Czechoslovakian National League as a member of HC Olomouc.[2] Weiss played seven games with HC Olomouc but did not record any points.

Weiss returned to the Chiefs for the 1991-92 ECHL season and recorded a career high in points, scoring 44 points in 61 games. It was also the first time that Weiss played in the post-season, reaching the second round and playing in five games.

The following season, Weiss joined the Odense Bulldogs of Denmark's Superisligaen as a player-coach.[2]

## Personal[edit]

After the completion of his hockey career, Weiss returned to Dartmouth to finish his master's degree in health policy and volunteered as an assistant coach for one season in 1995–96.[3]

Weiss is currently the team orthopedic physician for the United States U-18 hockey team[4][5]
