Career

Petr Hrbek began his career as a hockey player in his hometown in the youth department of Sparta ČKD Prague , for whose professional team he was active from 1985 to 1989 in the first division , the highest Czechoslovak division. The 1989/90 season he had to spend during his military service at the army sports club ASD Dukla Jihlava . From 1990 to 1992 the center ran again for Sparta Prague. In the summer of 1992 he agreed with the Detroit Red Wings , who had already selected him in the third round of the 1988 NHL Entry Draft as the 59th player, on a contract and played in the pre-season in the NHL squad. Shortly before the start of the season, however, he was sent to the Adirondack Red Wings from the American Hockey League , which at that time were the Red Wings' farm team . He completed 37 AHL games for the franchise but got no chance to prove his skills in the National Hockey League . Because of this, and due to an illness of his daughter, he returned to Czechoslovakia with his family. In the remaining games of the 1992/93 season he scored 30 points in 18 games and thus had a large share in the fact that Sparta Prague won the championship .

After the dissolution of Czechoslovakia, he joined Sparta Prague in the 1993/94 season for the first time in the newly founded Czech Extraliga . After 17 games, however, he left the team and joined the Star Bulls Rosenheim from the ice hockey Bundesliga . The top German league was also reformed for the 1994/95 season and the Czech competed with the Star Bulls in the follow-up competition of the German Ice Hockey League .

For the 1995/96 season Hrbek returned one more time to his home club Sparta Prague. He spent the following two and a half years with his extraliga rivals HC Litvínov . In the middle of the 1998/99 season , the two-time Olympian moved to Sparta Prague's arch-rivals HC Slavia Prague . There he stayed for two years across seasons before ending the 2000/01 season at Sparta Prague. For the 2001/02 season , the right-shooter was committed by EHC Freiburg from the 2nd ice hockey Bundesliga . Over the course of the season, however, he joined the Skellefteå AIK from the Allsvenskan , the second Swedish division. For the 2002/03 season he accepted a contract offer from the Extraliga participant HC Havířov . He then spent a year in Germany with the Blue Lions Leipzig and the Rostock EC in the fourth-class regional ice hockey league . From late summer 2006 he first played in the second Czech division for HC Mělník . In October 2006 he moved to the fifth German league for ERC Chemnitz , for which he was active until the end of the 2008/09 season. He then ended his career at the age of 40.

International

For Czechoslovakia , Hrbek took part in the junior division at the U18 European Junior Championships in 1987 and the U20 Junior World Championships in 1988 and 1989 . At the U18 European Championship in 1987 he and his team won the silver medal, and at the U20 World Cup in 1989, the bronze medal. At the U20 World Cup in 1988, he was also elected to the all-star team of the tournament. In the senior sector, he was in Czechoslovakia's squad at the 1992 Winter Olympics in Albertville and at the 1992 World Cup . At both tournaments he won the bronze medal with Czechoslovakia, and at the 1992 World Cup he was also elected to the all-star team of the tournament.

For the Czech Republic he took part in the 1993 World Cup , where he won the bronze medal with his team, and the 1994 Winter Olympics in Lillehammer .
