History

Marek Kvapil is a player that every NHL scouting staff had somewhere on their draft list. The Czech is loaded with skills in a small package. He was the leading stat getter for the Spirit, scoring at more than a point per game pace. In 53 games he collected 25 goals and a total of 62 points while ending the year with a -3 rating, not bad considering the team he was on. Kvapil outscored other noteworthy draft eligible players like Radek Smolenak, Travis Fuller, Patrick Davis and Chris Lawrence.

Kvapil played for the Czech Republic at the 2005 World Junior Championships and racked up five points in seven games, good for third place on the team.
