Playing career
Selected 157th overall by the New Jersey Devils in the 1997 NHL Entry Draft, Goc participated in 13 games for New Jersey before being traded on November 9, 2001. The trade sent him, along with Josef Boumedienne and Anton Butt, to the Tampa Bay Lightning in exchange for Andrei Zyuzin. He featured in nine contests for Tampa Bay. In addition to his NHL appearances, Goc played in the American Hockey League with the Albany River Rats and the Springfield Falcons.
In 2002, Goc returned to Germany, signing with Adler Mannheim. He subsequently transferred to Hannover Scorpions, where he tallied 17 goals and added 13 assists over 50 games during the 2005–06 campaign. On February 1, 2011, he committed to a two-year contract extension with Hannover.
Following Hannover's withdrawal from DEL competition, Goc went back to his original team, Schwenninger Wild Wings, who had acquired Hannover's DEL license to re-enter the league in July 2013.
On the international stage, Goc represented Germany at both the 1998 Winter Olympics in Nagano and the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City, contributing to Germany's advancement to the quarterfinal round.
