Career
He played with the Boston Bruins and Saint Louis Blues. The native of Fort Wayne, Indiana enjoyed three strong years at Saint Cloud State. In 1992-1993 he scored 34 goals in 36 games and was voted on to the WCHA first all-star team and the National Collegiate Athletic Association West Second All-American Team.
The Boston Bruins signed him as a free agent after his big year and brought him up for eleven games in 1993-1994.
The youngster scored three goals and showed plenty of spunk but spent most of the year with the Providence Bruins of the AHL. He demonstrated the same zest the following year scoring 63 points in Providence and playing hard during a 16-game recall in Boston. Early in the 1995-1996 season Knipscheer was traded to the Saint Louis Blues for veteran defenseman Rick Zombo.
He only played one National Hockey League game that year and returned to the minors where he remained through the 1999-2000 season.
