Vlastimil Lakosil (born July 4, 1979 in Uherské Hradiště , Czechoslovakia ) is a Czech ice hockey goalkeeper who has been under contract with SC Csíkszereda from the multinational first division since 2018 .

Career

Vlastimil Lakosil comes from the offspring of the Czech ice hockey club HC Oceláři Třinec , for whom he played in the U20 extra league at the beginning of his career. As early as the 1997/98 season, however, he had his first appearance in the Extraliga and completed a total of 16 games in the professional team of the HC. In the following years he played for Třinec in both the junior league and the professional league, but with increased stakes with the professionals. From the 2000/01 season he was then the goalkeeper of HC Třinec and convinced above all with a high catch rate.

In the 2004/05 season Lakosil was by Martin Vojtek displaced from the position of the root goalkeeper, he that for some games in the second league of the Czech Republic , the first league to Ostrava for HC Sareza Ostrava changed. The following season he began in the first division at HK Jestřábi Prostějov , before he became the goalkeeper of the Slovak club HK Dynamax Oil Nitra . With his good performance (91.6% catch quota, five shut-outs ), he helped the team into the playoffs of the Extraliga , in which they failed in the semifinals at the eventual master MsHK Žilina .

In the 2006/07 season he was able to build on his good performance from the previous year, but his club was worried about the play-off entry and therefore signed some new players in January 2007, including the Latvian national goalkeeper Artūrs Irbe . Therefore, Vlastimil Lakosil received the clearance and moved to Dresden, who were looking for reinforcement in the goalkeeping position due to the absence of Norbert Pascha and the groin problems at Marek Mastič . With the ice lions he showed very good performances, but could not prevent the relegation to the league. For the 2007/08 season he switched to the Slovak first division club MHC Martin , for whom he was in goal in the following two game years. In 2009 he moved back to HK Nitra, before moving within the league a year later to HK 36 Skalica , where he also guarded the goal as a regular in the following season 2011/12.

On June 14, 2012, the next change Lakosils took place to the Czech ice hockey club BK Mladá Boleslav , which was represented at the time in the second highest league in the country. In the 2012/13 season he completed a total of five main round matches and was then awarded to HC České Budějovice in early November 2012 , but remained eligible to play for both teams. After he played two first division games for the team from Budweis , which was relegated to the second division at the end of the season and was replaced in the top division by Mountfield HK , another loan change followed in Kazakhstan's highest ice hockey league . He signed a contract with HK Arlan Kökschetau until the end of the season , for which he went on the ice in eleven main round games in 2012/13 and, after the team finished the main round as the winner, was also used in ten play-off games. Here, however, the team was eliminated in the semi-finals against HK Beibarys Atyrau . His regular club BK Mladá Boleslav was also champion this season, but could not prevail in the relegation as third-placed and thus failed because of a promotion to the Czech first class.

This was followed by the official takeover of the Czech by HK Arlan at the beginning of the 2013/14 season , who from then on went on the ice in 21 main round games for the Kazakh club. Before Arlan Kökschetau came second in the main round to the final of the play-offs, Lakosil changed clubs again in January 2014 and joined the Slovak club HK Nitra , for which he had already been active several times during his career. Like the Kazakh club, HK Nitra also made it to the final of the play-offs in 2013/14 as runner-up in the main round, where it was eliminated with a total score of 3: 4 against HC Košice ; Lakosil was used in four games. In the 2014/15 season , the Czech will again act as a regular in the gate of HK Nitra. In 2016 he became Slovak champion with Nitra after spending most of the 2015/16 season with the Dundee Stars .
