History
2005-06: Teubert made a cameo appearance with the Pats in 2005-06. In 14 games, Teubert tallied two assists and 16 PIM. He was a member of the Pats post-season roster as well. Playing in six games, Teubert had one assist and four PIM.
2006-07: Teubert continued to develop as a top tier defensive defenseman with the Pats. In 63 games, Teubert tallied 11 points (three goals, eight assists) to go along with 91 PIM. Teubert also played in the post-season, recording one assist and 13 PIM in 10 games.
2007-08: Teubert was named to the Canadian squad at the 2007 Canada-Russia Super Series. Teubert also improved his offensive game heading into the 2007-08 season and produced 23 points for Regina of the WHL, but will never be known as a scorer.
2008-09: After being cut in training camp, Teubert went back to Regina of the WHL with a bit of a chip on his shoulder. A chip too big, perhaps, as squabbling and undisciplined play led to his demotion by midseason. After working his way back into the line-up, Teubert finished the season strong, setting career highs in goals and points, before being assigned to Ontario of the ECHL to get his first taste of professional hockey.
2009-10: In his final season with the Regina Pats, Tuebert posted 10 goals, 30 assists, and 115 PIM in 60 games. He was also a reliable defender for Team Canada at the WJCs. After he compeleted his season in the WHL, Teubert joined the Ontario Reign of the ECHL, where in 10 games, he posted 1 goal and 2 assists.
2010-11: Teubert's first pro season was spent in the AHL skating for the Manchester Monarchs and Oklahoma City Barons. After missing most of the Kings' training camp and some early season action while recovering from a broken hand he skated 39 games with the Monarchs before being obtained by Edmonton from Los Angeles along with two draft picks in exchange for forward Dustin Penner in a February 2011 trade. Teubert played 20 games for Oklahoma City and in 59 AHL games between the Monarchs and Barons he scored 4 goals with 13 assists and was +6 with 83 PMs. Teubert played in just two of six playoff games for the Barons due to injury and was scoreless with an even plus/minus.
Talent Analysis
Teubert is not much of a threat on offense. The 6’4 blue liner is a big, strong, stay at home defenseman. He plays a shutdown defensive game. Continued focus on building foot speed and quickness will complement his physical stature. Size, grittiness and toughness are obvious attributes. A fierce competitor that thrives on going up against the opposition's best.
Future
Teubert was inconsistent as a rookie pro, but will look to build on that and continue to improve in the AHL in 2011-12. He still has second pairing upside, and will be able to contribute on the penalty kill if/when he makes the show. With his strengths, there is a real possibility he could still contribute and be effective in a depth role on an NHL roster, even if his top four upside isn't realized.
