Rob Schremp

Robert B. Schremp (born July 1, 1986) is an American former professional ice hockey center who last played for HK Mogo of the Latvian Hockey Higher League. He was drafted by the Edmonton Oilers in the first round, 25th overall, of the 2004 NHL entry draft and has played for the Oilers, New York Islanders and Atlanta Thrashers in the NHL. Schremp was the director of hockey ops for the China Hockey Group out of Hong Kong. Schremp was in charge of the development of 400 players for the 2023-24 season. Rob is a versatile ex athlete as he is the Lead of Business Development for the agricultural biotech company Earth Microbial. Rob has helped grow the company’s golf course presence as well as their agriculture and home garden businesses.

Schremp grew up in Fulton, New York.[citation needed] As a youth, he played in the 1999 and 2000 Quebec International Pee-Wee Hockey Tournaments with a minor ice hockey team from Rochester, New York. He decided that a move to Canada would benefit his hockey career, and he spent his major junior years in the Ontario Hockey League (OHL).[citation needed] He spent his rookie season with the Mississauga IceDogs and after recording 26 goals and 74 points in 65 games, was named OHL rookie of the year for 2002–03.[citation needed]

Just three games into the 2003–04 season, Schremp was traded to the London Knights, the team with which he would spend the final three seasons of his OHL career. He began to impress during the 2004–05 season, scoring 41 goals and 90 points in 61 games as well as 13 goals and 29 points in 18 playoff games as he helped London to win their first Memorial Cup.[citation needed] That season, Schremp was also selected to play for the United States at the 2005 World Junior Championships, where he scored four goals and five points in seven games as the Americans finished in fourth place.[citation needed]

The 2005–06 season capped off a prolific junior career for Schremp, as he led the OHL in scoring with 57 goals and 145 points in 57 games before adding ten goals and 47 points in 19 playoff games.[citation needed] Schremp once again represented the U.S. at the 2006 World Junior Championships, recording six points en route to a second consecutive fourth-place finish.[citation needed]

Drafted by the Edmonton Oilers in the first round of the 2004 NHL entry draft, Schremp made his professional debut during the 2006–07 season with the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins, the Oilers' then-American Hockey League (AHL) affiliate. He also made his NHL debut that season, dressing for the Oilers in a game against the Minnesota Wild on April 5, 2007. Schremp, however, had difficulty securing a permanent roster spot with the Oilers and found himself playing primarily for the AHL's Springfield Falcons—the team's new AHL affiliate—over the following two seasons, seeing only limited action with Edmonton. He accumulated 171 points in 216 AHL games during that period, as well as three points in seven games with the Oilers.[citation needed]

On September 29, 2009, Schremp was claimed off waivers by the New York Islanders. He found more regular time with the Islanders, playing 44 games during the 2009–10 season. His first NHL goal came on December 12, 2009, in a game against the Boston Bruins. That season, Schremp tallied seven goals and 25 points.[citation needed]

Schremp posted another ten goals and 22 points in 45 games with the Islanders during the 2010–11 season, but on February 28, 2011, was claimed off waivers by the Atlanta Thrashers. He then scored his first goal as a Thrasher on March 9 against the Carolina Hurricanes, and finished the season with three goals and four points in 18 games with Atlanta for a total of 26 points in 63 games.[citation needed]

When the Thrashers were purchased and relocated to Winnipeg to become the Jets in May 2011, Schremp was not tendered a qualifying offer and thus became an unrestricted free agent.[citation needed]
