'''Kyle Klubertanz''' (born September 23, 1985) is an American former professional ice hockey [defenseman](/source/Defenceman).
==Playing career==
Klubertanz was selected by the [Mighty Ducks of Anaheim](/source/Mighty_Ducks_of_Anaheim) in the 3rd round (74th overall) of the [2004 NHL entry draft](/source/2004_NHL_entry_draft). After graduating from his four-year collegiate career with the [University of Wisconsin](/source/University_of_Wisconsin), Klubertanz made his professional debut on a try-out contract with the Ducks AHL affiliate, the [Portland Pirates](/source/Portland_Pirates) at the end of the [2007–08](/source/2007%E2%80%9308_AHL_season) season.
Unsigned from the Ducks, Klubertanz signed a one-year contract in the [Finnish](/source/Finland) [SM-liiga](/source/SM-liiga) with [TPS](/source/HC_TPS). The following season, he moved within Europe to the Swedish Elite League to play with Djurgårdens IF, establishing himself with 32 points, and he helped Djurgården to a silver medal finish.
On May 27, 2010, with NHL ambitions he signed a one-year contract with the [Montreal Canadiens](/source/Montreal_Canadiens).[{{cite web|title=Le CH enrôle un défenseur américain|url=http://www.rds.ca/canadien/chroniques/299696.html|work=rds.ca|accessdate=9 December 2010|trans-title=CH enlists an American defender|language=French|date=27 May 2010}}] Klubertanz was assigned to AHL affiliate, the [Hamilton Bulldogs](/source/Hamilton_Bulldogs_(AHL)) for the duration of the [2010–11](/source/2010%E2%80%9311_AHL_season) season.
Without an opportunity given with the Canadiens on June 1, 2011, Klubertanz signed a two-year contract to return to Sweden with Djurgården.[{{cite web|url=http://difhockey.se/nyhet.php?news=8305 |title=Klubertanz returning to Djurgården |work=difhockey.se |publisher=[Djurgårdens IF](/source/Djurg%C3%A5rdens_IF_Hockey) |date=2011-06-01 |accessdate=2011-06-01 |language=Swedish |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20110810220143/http://difhockey.se/nyhet.php?news=8305 |archivedate=2011-08-10 }}]
After a single season with [KHL Medveščak Zagreb](/source/KHL_Medve%C5%A1%C4%8Dak_Zagreb) of the [Kontinental Hockey League](/source/Kontinental_Hockey_League), Klubertanz opted to sign in Germany, agreeing to a two-year deal with the [Nürnberg Ice Tigers](/source/Thomas_Sabo_Ice_Tigers) of the [Deutsche Eishockey Liga](/source/Deutsche_Eishockey_Liga) (DEL) on July 2, 2014.[{{Cite web|title = Ice Tigers verpflichten Kyle Klubertanz {{!}} Thomas Sabo Ice Tigers Nürnberg|url = http://www.icetigers.de/content/ice-tigers-verpflichten-kyle-klubertanz|website = www.icetigers.de|access-date = 2016-02-14}}] When his contract was up, he joined fellow DEL side [Krefeld Pinguine](/source/Krefeld_Pinguine), signing on July 1, 2016.[{{Cite web|url=http://portal.krefeld-pinguine.de/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=2158%3Akyle-klubertanz-weltenbummler-mit-viel-erfahrung-wechselt-nach-krefeld&catid=35%3Apinguine-news&lang=de|title=Kyle Klubertanz: Weltenbummler mit viel Erfahrung wechselt nach Krefeld|publisher=Krefeld Pinguine|access-date=2016-07-03|url-status=dead|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20160703193450/http://portal.krefeld-pinguine.de/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=2158%3Akyle-klubertanz-weltenbummler-mit-viel-erfahrung-wechselt-nach-krefeld&catid=35%3Apinguine-news&lang=de|archivedate=2016-07-03}}] In the following [2016–17](/source/2016%E2%80%9317_DEL_season) season, Klubertanz struggled to find his offensive game in Krefeld, collecting just 1 goal and 13 points in 47 games as the team languished at the bottom of the table. On February 15, 2017, Klubertanz was released from his contract in Krefeld and signed with neighbouring league, the EBEL, with [EHC Black Wings Linz](/source/EHC_Black_Wings_Linz).
