Playing career

After playing three seasons for Modo Hockey in the Swedish Hockey League, Hirsch spent a season with the Bakersfield Condors in the ECHL. During the 2007-08 season he represented AaB Ishockey in the Danish Elite League, where he on previous occasions had played for Rungsted IK and Nordsjælland Cobras.

In 2009 Hirsch joined the British club Coventry Blaze, where he helped the team win the Elite Ice Hockey League title before returning to North America and the Bakersfield Condors the following season.
