Adam Polasek

Profile Contributed By: HF Staff

History

2007-08: The blueliner split time between HC Vitkovice's U18 and U20 squads this season. He posted a combined three goals and five assists in 41 contests.

2008-09: Played for Vitkovice in the Czech U20 league. Posted 20 points in 38 games from the back line.  Was a key part of the Czech U18 team at the World Championships, recording five points in six games.

Polasek expressed to Hockey's Future a desire to play in the CHL next season.

HF's interview with Polasek from the 2009 U18s.

Talent Analysis

Listed at 6'1, 180 pounds, Polasek looks bigger both on and off the ice. The Czech has a hard-hitting, and effective, approach to defense. But his skill should not be overlooked. He skates well, has a hard and accurate slapshot, and makes good reads.

Future

Ranked 52nd among European skaters by Central Scouting for the 2009 draft, and 120th overall by ISS (April).  After a good U18 tournament, will likely be drafted and come to play in North American next fall. Will need to learn English, as he speaks almost none.
