Sven Klimbacher (born 12 September 1981) is an Austrian professional ice hockey defenseman who is currently an unrestricted free agent who most recently played for the Graz 99ers of the Austrian Hockey League. After two seasons with the Vienna Capitals, Klimbacher was re-signed to a two-year contract extension on 4 May 2014. [1]

On 25 August 2016, Klimbacher accepted a try-out as a free agent to return to former club, Graz 99ers. After a successful try-out, Klimbacher agreed to sign a one-year deal on 19 September 2016.
