Tomáš Hyka junior (born March 23, 1993 in Mladá Boleslav ) is a Czech ice hockey player who has been under contract with HK Traktor Chelyabinsk from the Continental Hockey League since June 2019 and plays there in the position of right winger .

Career

Tomáš Hyka was born in Mladá Boleslav and went through the youth department of BK Mladá Boleslav in his hometown , for which he made his debut in the Czech extra league in the 2010/11 season . The attacker then decided to move to North America and joined the Olympiques de Gatineau from the Canadian Ligue de hockey junior majeur du Québec (LHJMQ), who had selected him in the 2011 CHL Import Draft in eighth position. Shortly before, the Czech had already participated in the training camp of the Philadelphia Flyers from the National Hockey League (NHL), but could not be signed by them due to the statutes of the NHL Collective Bargaining Agreement . In his first LHJMQ year, Hyka had 64 scorer points in 50 games, becoming the best scorer in the Olympiques and also took part in the CHL Top Prospects Game before taking 171th position in the 2012 NHL Entry Draft by the Los Angeles Kings and in the KHL Junior Draft 2012 in 51st position was selected by HK Spartak Moscow . After another season in Gatineau, however, a contract was not concluded with either of the two clubs, so Hyka moved to Färjestad BK in the Svenska Hockeyligan (SHL) in May 2013 .

For Färjestad, the winger completed 40 games before he was on the ice at the end of the season on loan for VIK Västerås HK in the second-rate Allsvenskan . After the 2013/14 season, Hyka returned to BK Mladá Boleslav, where he was able to steadily increase his personal statistics and in the 2016/17 season was one of the ten best scorers in the league with 38 points from 48 games. He was then signed to the Vegas Golden Knights at the beginning of June 2017 , becoming the third player in the franchise that began playing in the NHL at the start of the 2017/18 season. As part of the preparation for the season, however, he was initially unable to earn a regular place in the NHL squad and was therefore given to the Chicago Wolves , the new farm team of the Golden Knights from the American Hockey League .

In May 2019, the Czech signed a contract with HK Traktor Chelyabinsk from the Continental Hockey League .

International

Hyka gained his first international experience at the World U-17 Hockey Challenge 2010 , in which the Czech team took ninth place. He also took part in the junior division at the Ivan Hlinka Memorial Tournament 2010 , the U18 World Championship in 2011 and the U20 World Championship in 2012 and 2013 . For the senior national team of his home country, Hyka finally made his debut at the 2017 World Cup , where the team finished fifth.
