Career
Weiss played 100 games with Dartmouth College, where he captained the Big Green during the 1987-88 season, Weiss' senior year.[2] Weiss joined the Springfield Indians after the Big Green completed the season, scoring one goal in his only game with the team. Weiss returned to the Indians during the 1988-89 AHL season, scoring fourteen points in thirty-two games.

After completion of camp, Weiss became the first American to play in the Czechoslovakian National League as a member of HC Olomouc.[2] Weiss played seven games with HC Olomouc but did not record any points.

The following season, Weiss joined the Odense Bulldogs of Denmark's Superisligaen as a player-coach.[2]
