Playing career

edit

Feser played his entire five year junior hockey career with the Tri-City Americans of the Western Hockey League. After his junior hockey career concluded with the Tri-City Americans of the WHL he then signed an Amateur try-out deal with the Portland Pirates in the American Hockey League (AHL). He appeared in six games with the Pirates and in the off-season signed a contract with EHC Olten of the National League B (NLB) in Switzerland.

Feser was rewarded for his outstanding performance during the 2012–13 WHL season by being named to the 2013 WHL West First All-Star Team as well as being named the Western Conference finalist for the Four Broncos Memorial Trophy for WHL player of the year. During the same season Justin broke a 21-year-old WHL record for the most consecutive games played (312) and captured the WHL's All-time Iron Man record.[1]

In 2013, Feser took his game to Switzerland joining EHC Olten, where he played until the conclusion of the 2016–17 season. Following his four-year stint with the National League B side, he headed to Germany, signing with Deutsche Eishockey Liga club Krefeld Pinguine in June 2017.[2] Feser spent the duration of the 2017–18 season with Krefeld, posting 14 goals in 44 games.

On April 23, 2018, having concluded his contract with Krefeld, Feser left to sign a one-year deal with rival DEL club, Fischtown Pinguins.[3]

Feser played two seasons with Fischtown before leaving at the conclusion of his contract to sign a one-year deal with his third DEL outfit, ERC Ingolstadt, on March 19, 2020.[4]

After three seasons with ERC Ingolstadt, Feser left the club out of contract and signed a three-year contract to continue in the DEL with Grizzlys Wolfsburg on May 16, 2023.[5]
