We hear the term two-way forward all the time, but never two-way defenseman. Probably because as a defenseman, your skill
set is either good one way or good the other normally, and it's a rare thing to play both ways exceptionally well like the two
Scotts.
But Hiemer I would consider to be one of those. He had the playmaking skills and a good shot, and didn't mess around in his
own end at all.
He largely spent his career playing domestically, but he will always have his 3 seasons in North America, going between the
Devils and the Maine Mariners in that time. He was one of the first German players to play in the NHL.
And his name always gets mentioned by Chico Resch when a Devils' defenseman scores 2 goals. He was the first and only one
to score a hat trick on Halloween night in 1984. Come to think of it, mentioning that game always seems to jinx the player from
getting that third goal.
He would retire in 1996 having been named a German All-Star 5 times and the Bundesliga's Best Defenseman three times.
