Profile Contributed By: HF Staff

History

After a terrific year in the Czech junior league, Roman arrived in North America via the 2006 CHL import draft, in which he was selected fifth overall by the Spokane Chiefs. The native of Ostrava, Czech Republic posted modest numbers in his rookie campaign, to the tune of 48 points in 70 games, good for fifth on the club. He saw some time on the power play, where he scored three of his four goals, and was bounced around the lines in even strength situations.

Talent Analysis

Roman is extremely mobile and knows how to play a physical game. His size limits his success in high-traffic areas, but he is always willing to test his luck. Along with above average vision, he has decent playmaking and overall skill with the puck. A natural center, he displays good faceoff skills and plays a strong two-way game.

Future

He still has several years of development ahead, but he possesses enough skill to make some noise in the future.
