Alec Rauhauser

Alec Rauhauser (born March 7, 1995) is an American ice hockey coach and former professional ice hockey defenseman who is currently an assistant coach for the Bismarck Bobcats of the North American Hockey League (NAHL). He most recently played for HKM Zvolen in the Slovak Extraliga. He was a two-time All-American for Bowling Green. Rauhauser returned to his stellar form as a senior, being named team captain as well as the WCHA Defensive Player of the Year for a second time. Unfortunately, the Falcons weren't able to return to postseason play since the season was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Despite the uncertainty caused by the pandemic, Rauhauser signed a 1-year contract with the Florida Panthers. Due to a delay for the start of the following season, Rauhauser began the year with DVTK Jegesmedvék. Once the minor leagues restarted, Rauhauser was assigned to the Greenville Swamp Rabbits and spent most of the rest of the season with the team.

Due in part to a change in management for the Panthers, Rauhauser was not offered a qualifying deal and released as a free agent. He did, however, eventually re-sign with Greenville.
