'''Martin Gerber''' (born 3 September 1974) is a [[Swiss people|Swiss]] former professional [[ice hockey]] [[goaltender]]. He was drafted in the eighth round of the [[2001 NHL Entry Draft]] (232nd overall) by the [[Anaheim Ducks|Mighty Ducks of Anaheim]]. He played in the [[National Hockey League]] (NHL) with the Mighty Ducks, [[Carolina Hurricanes]], [[Ottawa Senators]], [[Toronto Maple Leafs]], and [[Edmonton Oilers]], winning the [[Stanley Cup]] as a member of the Hurricanes in 2006. Following the 2011–12 season, he played two seasons in the Swedish [[Swedish Hockey League|Elitserien]] before returning to the Swiss [[National League (ice hockey)|NLA]], finishing his playing career with the [[Kloten Flyers]].

==Playing career==
Gerber began his career in his native Switzerland for [[SC Langnau]]. Initially playing in the [[National League B|Nationalliga B]], Gerber and the Tigers won promotion to [[National League A|Nationalliga A]] in 1998. In 2001, he was drafted by the NHL's [[Anaheim Ducks|Mighty Ducks of Anaheim]] and spent the subsequent season in Sweden playing for [[Färjestads BK]] in the [[Swedish Hockey League|Elitserien]]. He moved to the Ducks organization in 2002 and on 11 October of that year, Gerber played his first NHL game, a 4–2 loss to the [[Dallas Stars]]. He went on to play 22 regular season games that season, serving as backup to [[Jean-Sébastien Giguère]]. That season, the Mighty Ducks made it to the [[2003 Stanley Cup Finals|Stanley Cup Finals]], narrowly losing in seven games to the [[New Jersey Devils]].<ref>{{cite magazine|title=Devils down Ducks in Game 7 to win third Stanley Cup|url=http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/hockey/2003/playoffs/news/2003/06/09/ducks_devils_ap/|magazine=[[Sports Illustrated]]|access-date=2010-11-19|date=2003-09-06|archive-date=3 November 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121103152646/http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/hockey/2003/playoffs/news/2003/06/09/ducks_devils_ap/|url-status=dead}}</ref> Gerber continued his role as backup and played 32 games for Anaheim in [[2003–04 NHL season|2003–04]].

On 18 June 2004, Gerber was traded to the [[Carolina Hurricanes]] in exchange for [[Tomáš Malec]] and a third-round pick in the [[2004 NHL Entry Draft]].<ref>{{cite web |last1=Williams |first1=Terrell |title=HURRICANES ACQUIRE MARTIN GERBER FROM DUCKS |url=http://www.caneshockey.com/news/news.asp?articleid=1245 |publisher=Carolina Hurricanes |access-date=April 13, 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20040816100124/http://www.caneshockey.com/news/news.asp?articleid=1245 |archive-date=August 16, 2004 |date=June 18, 2004}}</ref> During the [[2004–05 NHL lockout]], Gerber returned to his former European teams, playing 20 games with the SCL Tigers and 30 with Färjestad BK.

Gerber returned to the NHL for the [[2005–06 NHL season|2005–06 season]], and it was a successful one for Gerber, who won 38 games and helped earn Carolina their third division championship. Gerber entered the [[2006 Stanley Cup playoffs]] as the Hurricanes' starting goaltender, but he struggled in the team's opening series and was replaced by rookie [[Cam Ward (ice hockey)|Cam Ward]], who had been his backup for most of the season. Ward went on to backstop the team to its first [[Stanley Cup]] championship as the Hurricanes defeated the [[Edmonton Oilers]] in seven games in the [[2006 Stanley Cup Finals|Finals]].<ref>{{cite news|author=Jason Diamos|title=Third Try at Clinching Gives Carolina Its First Cup|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2006/06/20/sports/hockey/20nhl.html|newspaper=[[New York Times|NY Times]]|date=2006-06-20|access-date=2010-11-19}}</ref> Gerber, who earned 1 of Carolina's 16 playoff wins, became the second Swiss player in NHL history to win a Stanley Cup; [[David Aebischer]], also a goaltender, was the first in [[2000–01 NHL season|2001]] with the [[Colorado Avalanche]].<ref>{{cite web|title=Swiss ice hockey star steps out of the shadows|url=http://www.swissinfo.ch/eng/index/Swiss_ice_hockey_star_steps_out_of_the_shadows.html?cid=3419608|publisher=[[swissinfo]]|date=2003-06-10|access-date=2010-11-19}}</ref>

On 1 July 2006, as a free agent, Gerber signed a contract with the [[Ottawa Senators]].<ref>{{cite web|title=Senators sign Gerber to multiyear contract; say goodbye to Hasek|url=https://www.espn.com/espn/wire?section=nhl&id=2507072|publisher=[[ESPN]]|date=2006-01-07|access-date=2010-11-19}}</ref> However, he struggled throughout the season and was replaced as starting goaltender by [[Ray Emery]]. That season, Emery led the Senators to their first appearance in the [[2007 Stanley Cup Finals|Stanley Cup Finals]], where they would lose to Gerber's former team, the Anaheim Ducks. It was Gerber's third appearance in the Stanley Cup Finals in five years.<ref>{{cite web|author=Chris Iorfida|title=Martin Gerber's march|url=http://www.cbc.ca/sports/indepth/feature-hockey-gerber.html|publisher=[[CBC.ca]]|date=2008-03-20|access-date=2010-11-19}}</ref> Gerber began the [[2007–08 NHL season|2007–08 season]] as the Senators' starter when Emery was sidelined after off-season wrist surgery. His play was inconsistent and Emery resumed the starting job once he was healthy again. However, after the team suffered a rapid decline in the standings and head coach [[John Paddock]] was fired and replaced by general manager [[Bryan Murray (ice hockey)|Bryan Murray]], Murray declared Gerber as the starting goaltender for the remainder of the season. Gerber entered the [[2008–09 NHL season|2008–09 season]] in that role, but his uneven play continued and he was eventually supplanted by the newly signed [[Alex Auld]]. On 22 January 2009, Gerber was placed on waivers after having been sent down to the Senators' then-[[American Hockey League]] (AHL) affiliate, the [[Binghamton Senators]].<ref>{{cite web|title=Senators' Gerber clears waivers|url=https://www.tsn.ca/nhl/story/?id=264263&lid=sublink01&lpos=headlines_nhl|publisher=[[The Sports Network|TSN]]|date=2009-01-23|access-date=2010-11-19}}</ref>
[[Image:Martin Gerber.jpg|thumb|220px|left|Gerber sporting his all-black "Darth Gerber" mask with the Senators.]]
On 4 March 2009, Gerber was claimed off waivers by the [[Toronto Maple Leafs]] to replace goaltender [[Vesa Toskala]], who was scheduled for season-ending surgery.<ref>{{cite web|title=Maple Leafs claim Gerber after placing Toskala on IR|url=http://tsn.ca/nhl/story/?id=269716&lid=headline&lpos=secStory_nhl|publisher=[[The Sports Network|TSN]]|access-date=2010-11-19|date=2009-04-03|archive-date=12 October 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121012031414/http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/story/?id=269716&lid=headline&lpos=secStory_nhl|url-status=dead}}</ref> During a game on 24 March against the [[Washington Capitals]], Gerber was assessed a game-misconduct and immediately suspended for three games for an incident with the on-ice officials, during which Gerber was arguing a call and proceeded to make contact with referee [[Mike Leggo]] and a linesman who was attempting to restrain him.<ref>{{cite web|title=Leafs' Gerber suspended for three games|url=http://www.nhl.com/ice/news.htm?id=415355|website=[[NHL.com]]|access-date=2010-11-19|date=2009-03-25}}</ref>

During the off-season, Gerber signed a contract with [[Atlant Moscow Oblast]] of the [[Kontinental Hockey League]] (KHL), coincidentally the same team that fellow former Senators goaltender Ray Emery played for the previous season before returning to the NHL in 2009.<ref>{{cite web|title=Gerber follows Emery path to Russia|url=http://www.sportsnet.ca/hockey/2009/07/23/gerber_khl_russia/|publisher=[[Rogers Sportsnet]]|date=2009-07-23|access-date=2010-11-19|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090726100856/http://www.sportsnet.ca/hockey/2009/07/23/gerber_khl_russia/|archive-date=26 July 2009|url-status=dead|df=dmy-all}}</ref> On 13 December 2009, while playing for Atlant, Gerber suffered an apparent fracture of the fourth vertebrae when an opposing forward slid into him. Gerber's neck injury was initially thought to be a compression fracture of a cervical vertebra and it was believed that he would miss upwards of six months.<ref>{{cite news|author=Greg Wyshynski|title=Goalie Martin Gerber suffers significant neck injury in KHL|url=https://ca.sports.yahoo.com/nhl/blog/puck_daddy/post/Goalie-Martin-Gerber-suffers-significant-neck-in?urn=nhl-208347|work=[[Yahoo!

On 6 August 2010, Gerber signed a one-year contract with the [[Edmonton Oilers]].<ref>{{cite web | url = https://www.cbc.ca/sports/hockey/oilers-sign-gerber-to-1-year-deal-1.925213 | title = Oilers sign Gerber to 1-year deal | publisher = [[CBC.ca]] | date = 2010-08-06 | access-date = 2010-06-09}}</ref> He was assigned to the team's AHL affiliate, the [[Oklahoma City Barons]]. He was recalled on 18 November after Oilers' goaltender [[Nikolai Khabibulin]] was placed on injured reserve.<ref>{{cite web|title=Nikolai Khabibulin placed on IR|url=https://www.espn.com/nhl/news/story?id=5822401|publisher=[[ESPN]]|date=2010-11-18|access-date=2010-11-19}}</ref> Gerber made his first start for the Oilers on 25 November, recording a 3–2 victory over the visiting Colorado Avalanche. He stopped 35 of 37 shots and drew an assist on the game-winning goal scored by [[Taylor Hall]].<ref>{{cite web|title=Hall scores game-winner in third period as Oilers edge Avs|url=https://www.tsn.ca/nhl/story/?id=342876|publisher=[[The Sports Network|TSN]]|date=2010-11-25|access-date=2010-11-25}}</ref> Gerber started one more game, a 4–1 victory at Ottawa, before Khabibulin was re-activated and Gerber was returned to the Barons. Gerber was again re-called in late February after another injury to Khabibulin. Picking up where he left off in late November, Gerber stopped 34 shots in a 2–1 shootout win over the [[Nashville Predators]] on 1 March, improving to a 3–0 record with Edmonton.<ref>{{cite web|title=Omark scores winner in shootout as Oilers defeat Predators|url=https://www.tsn.ca/nhl/story/?id=356108|publisher=[[The Sports Network|TSN]]|date=2011-03-01|access-date=2011-03-01}}</ref>

On 12 July 2011, Gerber signed a one-year contract with [[Växjö Lakers]] of the Swedish Elitserien.<ref name="Signed with Växjö">{{cite web |url=http://www.vaxjolakers.se/website1/sv/nyhetsmall/nyhetsmall.php?item=cms_12-s1/882&group=cms_12_grp-s1/3 |title=Martin Gerber klar för ett år |publisher=[[Växjö Lakers]] |language=sv |date=2011-07-12 |access-date=2011-07-12 }}{{dead link|date=December 2017 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref> Playing 42 games, he finished the [[2011–12 Elitserien season|2011–12 season]] ranked fifth in the save percentage with .928 and seventh in [[goals against average]] (GAA) with 2.18, although Växjö failed to qualify for the playoffs. For the [[2012–13 Elitserien season|2012–13 season]], he signed with fellow Elitserien club [[Rögle BK]].<ref name="Signed with Rögle">{{cite web |url=http://www.roglebk.se/natmagasinet/visa/1830_varldsmalvakt_forstarker_rogle |title=Världsmålvakt förstärker Rögle |publisher=[[Rögle BK]] |work=roglebk.se |last=Erikzon |first=Olof |language=sv |date=2012-05-18 |access-date=2012-05-18 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120525093550/http://www.roglebk.se/natmagasinet/visa/1830_varldsmalvakt_forstarker_rogle |archive-date=25 May 2012 |df=dmy-all }}</ref> After one season with Rögle, Gerber returned to Switzerland in signing a two-year contract with [[Kloten Flyers]]. He retired from professional hockey after his contract with Kloten expired.

===Goaltender mask===
To start the 2007–08 season, Gerber wore an all-black mask while his other mask was being painted; he played so well wearing the black mask that he decided not to replace it, wearing it for the remainder of the season. Fans endearingly called him "Darth Gerber". In response, Gerber tried out a new [[Darth Vader]]-inspired mask design to begin the 2008–09 season when he was with the Ottawa Senators.<ref>{{cite web| url = https://www.tsn.ca/story/?id=250552 | title = Sens' Gerber has new mask, new outlook on season | publisher = [[The Sports Network]] | date = 2008-09-24 | access-date = 2009-01-02}}</ref> The mask was worn by Gerber during his first few games with Toronto before he switched to a new one paying homage to old masks of past Maple Leafs' goaltenders.

==International play==
During his playing career, Gerber was a mainstay on the [[Switzerland men's national ice hockey team|Switzerland national team]], having represented his country in eight [[Ice Hockey World Championships|IIHF World Championships]] and two [[Winter Olympic Games|Winter Olympics]] since 2000. At the [[Ice hockey at the 2006 Winter Olympics – Men's tournament|2006 Winter Olympics]], Gerber made 49 saves to shut-out a heavily-favoured [[Canada men's national ice hockey team|Canada]] 2–0 in one of the biggest upsets in modern Olympic hockey history regarded as one of the greatest accomplishments in Swiss hockey.<ref>{{cite news|title=Do You Believe in...

Switzerland failed to medal in any of these tournaments, their highest finish being fifth in [[2010 IIHF World Championship|2010]], though their play has seen their [[IIHF World Ranking|IIHF World Rank]] increase from ninth in 2003 to seventh in 2010.
