Career

Roman Hamrlík began his career in his hometown with TJ Gottwaldov , who was renamed AC ZPS Zlín in 1990 . After performing well there he was selected as number 1 in the 1992 NHL Entry Draft by the Tampa Bay Lightning . He immediately moved to Florida and played there for six years until the 1997/98 season . At the end of 1997 he switched to the Edmonton Oilers and had two and a half good years there. With the Czech national team he won the gold medal at the 1998 Winter Olympics in Nagano .

From the 2000/01 season he played for the New York Islanders , who had swapped him for Eric Brewer , Josh Green and a second-round draft pick. On 12 August 2005 signed Hamrlik a two-year contract with the Calgary Flames , who him 7 million dollars earned.

Hamrlík has become a two-way defender in recent years. He played very offensively at a young age and quickly left his position in defense. This is also proven by his statistics, since in addition to many points he also accumulated many minus in the +/- statistics. This was partly due to the fact that the Lightning played relatively unsuccessfully, but Roman's defensive game was not what you would expect from a 1st overall pick. Over the years, however, he put on over ten kilograms in body weight and acted much better with his body and learned to play defensively. In terms of running he is one of the most solid defenders in the league. Hamrlík masters very good puck handling thanks to the Czech ice hockey school and is able to bring a player-opening or final pass exactly to the teammate.

In 2007 he moved to the Montréal Canadiens . His contract expired at the end of the 2010/11 season , a contract extension offered to him beat Hamrlík.

On July 1, 2011, Hamrlík signed a two-year contract with the Washington Capitals . On March 6, 2013, the Czech on the waiver list was selected by the New York Rangers and completed 14 games for the Rangers by the end of the season. In October 2013 he ended his active career after 20 seasons, 1395 NHL games and 638 scorer points.

On January 22nd, 2019 Hamrlík was inducted into the Czech Ice Hockey Hall of Fame .
