'''Alfred Wilhelm Steinke''' (June 6, 1881 in [[Berlin]], [[Germany]] - May 1945 in Berlin) was a [[Germany|German]] hockey player who was active in the sport for 31 years. <br />
<br />
The savvy and reliable Steinke, who was active both as a goaltender and a defenseman, first played for [[BFC Preussen]] in 1900-01, although he spent the majority of his club career with [[Berliner Schlittschuhclub]]. He won nine German Championships with BSC. <br />
<br />
Steinke competed for the [[German National Team]] as a player at the [[Ice Hockey European Championships]] four times between 1910 and 1914 and also took part in the three [[LIHG Championships]] held from 1912-1914. He played for Germany as a goaltender at the [[1928 Winter Olympics]] in [[St. Moritz]]. <br />
<br />
After retiring from playing competitively in 1931, Steinke became a referee. He was the ice hockey commissioner for the [[Deutscher Eissport-Verband]] and the co-editor of a newspaper called "Eis- und Rollsport" during the 1930s.<br />
<br />
He saw action in [[Romania]] in [[World War I]] and was killed in Berlin in May 1945 as [[World War II]] drew to a close. Steinke had worked as a salesman and was posthumously inducted into the [[German Ice Hockey Hall of Fame]].<br />
