He has been serving as assistant coach for Adler Mannheim since March 2022.

The first two titles came before his NHL career, in 1997 and 1998.
Hecht played two full seasons for the Blues, compiling 32 goals and 46 assists before being dealt, along with Marty Reasoner and Jan Horáček, to the Edmonton Oilers for Doug Weight and Michel Riesen on 1 July 2001.
After appearing in a full season with the Oilers, Hecht was traded to the Buffalo Sabres in exchange for the 31st and 36th picks in the 2002 NHL Entry Draft.
Hecht appeared in four games with Team Germany at the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City, Utah.
He scored a goal and an assist as Germany finished eighth.
