Jaroslav Bednář (born November 9, 1976 in Prague , Czechoslovakia ) is a former Czech ice hockey player who was active in the National Hockey League for the Los Angeles Kings and Florida Panthers . In the Czech Extraliga he played for HC Slavia Prague , HC Sparta Prague and Mountfield HK , in Switzerland for HC Davos and HC Lugano and in Russia for Torpedo Nizhny Novgorod and HK Awangard Omsk. The greatest successes of his career include four national championship titles (in Switzerland, Russia and the Czech Republic) and winning the silver medal at the 2006 World Cup .
Career
Jaroslav Bednář began his career in his hometown with HC Slavia Prague and played his first games in the Czech extra league in the 1994/95 season . In the following season he went in eight games for the second division HC Kralupy nad Vltavou on the ice, but returned to Slavia. From the 1996/97 season he was part of the Extraliga squad of Slavia Prague and reached 30 points scorer in this first full season . After 14 games the following season for Slavia, he moved to HC Lasselsberger Plzeň , before signing a contract with HC Sparta Prague in 1998 . A year later he was signed by JYP Jyväskylä from the Finnish SM-liiga and shone with 34 goals and 28 assists in 53 games this season. In November 1999 he was also voted SM liiga player of the month. Due to the performance shown, he got a contract offer from league competitor Helsingfors IFK from Helsinki , where he advanced to the leading player in the 2000/01 season and won the top scorer in the SM-liiga.

The outstanding performance in the Finnish league moved the Los Angeles Kings to select the previously undrafted Bednář during the 2001 NHL Entry Draft (second round, 51st place). Bednář first played for the Kings farm team, the Manchester Monarchs , in the American Hockey League . He was later appointed to the NHL squad and came in two seasons on 37 missions, in which he contributed four goals and eleven assists. In November 2002 Bednář was handed over to the Florida Panthers together with Andreas Lilja , who in return sent Dmitri Juschkewitsch to LA. For Florida, he completed 65 NHL games, in which he scored six goals and 14 assists, before moving to the Russian Super League for HK Awangard Omsk in the middle of the 2003/04 season. At the end of the season he won the Russian championship with Omsk . In the following season he stayed in Omsk and played due to the lockout in the NHL together with Jaromír Jágr , Alexander Pereschogin and Oleg Twerdowski . In summer 2005 he moved back to his hometown club Slavia Prague, where he played until 2009. In the 2007/08 season he reached the Czech championship with Slavia , in which he had a large share with ten goals in the playoffs.
In the summer of 2009 Bednář moved to Torpedo Nizhny Novgorod in the Continental Hockey League . A year later he was signed by KHL newcomer HC Lev Poprad . Since this did not take up the game, Bednář was initially without a club. In August he first played a few test matches for HC Davos before receiving a four-month contract. In February 2011 Bednář signed a contract for two years with HC Lugano , which was valid from the 2011/12 season. In November 2012 this contract was terminated and Bednář returned to Slavia Prague. In January 2013 he was signed by a Swiss club again when SC Bern signed him until the end of the season. He then received another contract with Slavia Prague.
International
Jaroslav Bednář completed his first international match for the Czech national team in 1996 in a preparatory game against the Swedish national ice hockey team . In the following years he was repeatedly used in tournaments of the Euro Hockey Tour and friendly matches in the national selection, but never made it into a squad for international title fights. It was not until 2006 that he was appointed to the Czech World Cup squad and won the silver medal with the selection.
