During his career, he has also played 32 games for the Toronto Maple Leafs and Atlanta Thrashers in the National Hockey League .

Career

Signature of Martin Procházka

Martin Procházka began his career with HC Poldi Kladno, where he made his debut in the first division of Czechoslovakia in the 1989/90 season . In the 1991 NHL Entry Draft , Procházka was selected by the Toronto Maple Leafs in the seventh round in 135th place. However, he did not move to North America, but played for his home club until 1996. From year to year he was able to improve his game and was named Player of the Year in the Czech Extra League in the 1994/95 season .

In the summer of 1996, he and his strike partners at Kladno and in the Czech national team, Pavel Patera and Otakar Vejvoda , moved to Sweden for the Elitserien at AIK Stockholm . Procházka moved to the Toronto Maple Leafs a year later , while Vejvoda had to end his career at the beginning of the 1997/98 season due to an injury and Patera stayed in Sweden. After a season with the Leafs, he returned to the Czech Republic for HC Vsetín and won the Czech championship with Vsetín .

The Leafs had meanwhile given up his NHL rights to the Atlanta Thrashers , but Martin Procházka only played three games in the 1999/2000 season for the Thrashers and returned to Vsetín. Since his attempts to gain a foothold in North America were unsuccessful, he decided to move within the Czech extra league and signed with HC Vítkovice .

The Russian first division club HK Awangard Omsk made Ivan Hlinka head coach in the summer of 2001 , who had several top Czech players signed in the middle of the 2001/02 season . So alternated Tomas Vlasak from HC Ambri-Piotta , Procházka and Patera to Avangard. Procházka played a total of two years for Omsk, but sat in the 2002/03 season after the commitment of Jiří Šlégr only as a surplus foreigner in the stands. Therefore, he moved to Chimik Woskressensk in the summer of 2003 , while Patera stayed in Omsk and won the Russian championship there.

After only three games for Chimik, in which he could not achieve a scorer point, he returned to his home club Kladno, for which he has played continuously since then. He played particularly successfully in the 2006/07 season and was named Player of the Month for January by the ice hockey portal eurohockey.net .

In 1998 Martin Procházka was awarded honorary citizenship of the city of Kladno. In 2010 he paused for a year due to health problems before he played for the German top division EV Regensburg in the 2011/12 season. In 2012 Procházka ended his playing career.

He has been coach of the Czech third division club HC Risuty since the 2016/17 season.

International

Martin Procházka has participated in all major international championships in the course of his career. With the Czech national team he won four gold and two bronze medals at world championships , as well as two bronze medals at U20 world championships with the Czechoslovak U20 selection. The greatest success of his career was winning the gold medal at the 1998 Winter Olympics in Nagano . In the jersey of the national team, he completed 222 games in which he scored 60 goals. His most important goal was the decisive goal in the final of the World Cup against Canada at the 1996 World Cup in Vienna , when he sank the puck to make it 3-2 behind goalkeeper Curtis Joseph 19 seconds before the end of the game .
