Career
Schubert is currently playing for the Hamburg Freezers in the Deutsche Eishockey Liga (German Ice Hockey League). Schubert played over 300 games in the National Hockey League (National Hockey League) for the Atlanta Thrashers and Ottawa Senators from 2005–2010. Schubert started his career in the junior sections of the EHC Klostersee and moved, after his junior time, to the DNL-team of the EV Landshut.
In the season of 1999/2000, as a 17-year-old, he made his debut in the Oberliga.
In two future seasons he evolved himself to a tough defenceman with a strong slap shot. In spring 2001 he reached with his hometeam the second place in the German championship.
After the closing of the Munich Barons in season 2001/02, Schubert was drafted 127th overall in the 2001 National Hockey League Entry Draft by the Ottawa Senators. He is generally seen as a competent defenceman and a checking forward with some physical upside.
One of his greatest assets is his shot, which was measured at over 100 mph in the 2005-2006 Senators" Super Skills Competition, giving him the second-hardest shot in Senators team history behind former teammate Zdeno Chara.
He recorded his first career National Hockey League goal on future teammate Martin Gerber versus the Carolina Hurricanes on November 22, 2005. At the beginning of the 2009-2010 season, on October 2, Schubert was claimed off waivers by the Atlanta Thrashers. Schubert remained on the Thrashers roster primarily as a depth player and in 47 games scored 2 goals and 7 points.
In the following 2010-2011 season, Schubert was unable to garner another National Hockey League contract and after 8 years returned to Europe, signing with Frölunda The Human Context of the Swedish Elitserien on September 15, 2010.
Contributing just 4 assists in 23 games with the Indians, Schubert was mutually released from his contract and returned to his native Germany, signing a two-year deal with the Hamburg Freezers on December 8, 2010. In November 2011, he was handed a contract extension until 2015 and in July 2013, Schubert inked a new deal with the Freezers that will keep him in Hamburg until 2017.
Schubert played for the German national team in the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City and the 2006 Winter Olympics in Turin, Italy. The team finished out of the medal round both times.
He also attended the World Championships in 2002, 2005, 2008, 2009 and 2012 and participated in the 2004 World Cup of Hockey.
