Career

Radunske began his career as a hockey player in 1999 with the Aurora Tigers team in the Ontario Provincial Junior Hockey League. A year later he moved to the Newmarket Hurricanes league, where he also played a year. From 2001 to 2004 he played for the ice hockey team at Michigan State University , where he studied communication science, in what was then the Central Collegiate Hockey Association . During this time he was drafted in the NHL Entry Draft by the Edmonton Oilers , for which he never played. Instead, he stood during the NHL lockout in the 2004/05 season eight times for their farm team Edmonton Road Runners in the American Hockey League (AHL) on the ice before he moved to the ECHL club Greenville Grrrowl during the season . When he stopped playing in 2006, Radunske went to league rivals Stockton Thunder in California. Here, too, it didn't last long: During the current season he was drawn back to the AHL and he played for the Grand Rapids Griffins for a few months . This was followed by the leap to Europe and the German Ice Hockey League to the Augsburg Panthers . When Radunske moved to Anyang Halla in the summer of 2008 , he settled down: since then he has played more than 400 times in the Asia League ice hockey for the South Koreans in ten years . In his first season in the Asia League he was the top goalscorer and top scorer and was consequently voted the best striker and most valuable player in the main round. A year later he won the title with Anyang Halla for the first time and was also recognized as the most valuable player in the play-offs. In 2011 and 2016 he and his team won the title in the Asia League. In 2013 he received the Asia League Top Six Player Award , which corresponds to a call to the all-star team in other competitions. In 2015 he won the main round of the Asie League with Anyang Halla, to which he made a significant contribution as the best preparer of the league with 56 assists. The playoff final was then lost against the Tōhoku Free Blades from Japan smoothly with three defeats. But he himself was elected to the Asia League First Team . In 2016 and 2018 he won the Asia League again with Anyang Halla.

International

Radunske received South Korean citizenship in March 2013. Just a month later, he made his debut for the South Korean national ice hockey team at the 2013 World Cup in Division I. As in the following year , he was named the best player on his team. Also in 2015 , when he, as the best preparer, made a significant contribution to the immediate promotion from the B to the A group, and in 2016 he played with the Asians in Division I. After the promotion without him in 2017, he played in the 2018 for the first time in the top division. He also represented North Korea at the 2018 Winter Olympics in his own country.
