Since then, the six-foot-one defenseman has appeared in 76 career games across three different leagues, including 49 games in the ECHL for eight different teams. Schartz also played in one game for the Knoxville Ice Bears in the 2020-2021 season as well as 21 games in Suomi-sarja (Finland3) and five games in Erste Liga (Hungary1). During his combined tenure throughout those stops, Schartz has totaled seven goals, 15 assists, and 29 minutes from the blue line. While at Liberty, the Plano, Texas native starred for the Flames with 49 goals, 82 assists, 65 penalty minutes, and a plus-29 plus/minus in 101 career games played.
