Robert B. Schremp (born July 1, 1986) is an American professional ice hockey center who is currently playing for the Nürnberg Ice Tigers in the German DEL. He was drafted by the Edmonton Oilers in the first round, 25th overall, of the 2004 NHL Entry Draft and has also spent time with the New York Islanders and Atlanta Thrashers organizations during his tenure in the NHL.
Though Schremp grew up in Fulton, New York, he decided a move to Canada would benefit his hockey career and he spent his major junior years in the Ontario Hockey League (OHL). He spent his rookie season with the Mississauga IceDogs and after recording 26 goals and 74 points in 65 games, was named OHL rookie of the year for 2002–03.
Just three games into the 2003–04 season, Schremp was traded to the London Knights, the team with which he would spend the final three seasons of his OHL career. He began to impress during the 2004–05 season, scoring 41 goals and 90 points in 61 games as well as 13 goals and 29 points in 18 playoff games as he helped London win their first Memorial Cup. That season, Schremp was also selected to play for the United States at the 2005 World Junior Championships, where he scored four goals and five points in seven games as the Americans finished in fourth place.
