Profile Contributed By: HF Staff
History
2005-06: Playing for the Marquette Electricians, Florek recorded 59 points (26 goals, 33 assists) in just 55 games.
2006-07: Florek joined the US NTDP U-17 team and was dynamic. Florek led the U-17 squad in goals (21), power play goals (9), and points (32) to go along with 11 assists in 66 games played.
2007-08: Florek took a step backwards after joining the U-18 team. Playing in 55 games, Florek only recorded 16 points (eight goals, eight assists) with four of his goals coming on the power play. According to NHL Central Scouting’s final rankings, Florek is the 113th overall North American skater for the 2008 NHL Entry Draft.
2008-09: Florek got off to a somewhat of slow start to his college career, but had a strong finish to his rookie campaign. He was named the recipient of the team’s Don Waddell Award as the top freshman after leading the Wildcats in rookie scoring with 17 points (nine goals, eight assists) in 40 games. He also finished second on the team with a plus-19.
Talent Analysis
Florek is a power forward who uses his large frame and long reach quite advantageously especially with the puck. He is particularly dangerous around the net. While he is still growing into his body, Florek is quite strong on his skates and is difficult to move off of the puck. He possesses some nice hands and also has an excellent wrist shot. Being able to bring all of the elements of his game together on a more consistent basis will greatly help his future success.
Future
Plays for Northern Michigan University.
