He started off playing bandy with SK Slavia Praha during the 1902-03 season and later switched to ice hockey. Fleischmann, who often played under the pseudonym, "Reznicek", meaning "Little Butcher", enjoyed a long club career with Slavia.

Internationally, he was a member of the Bohemian National Team at the Ice Hockey European Championships in 1911, 1912, and 1913. He also played for Bohemia at the LIHG Championships in 1913 and 1914.
