History
2006-07: The lanky Machacek matched his rookie-season point total this past year with 21 goals and 24 assists in only 63 games. Machacek parlayed an energizing second half of the season into a consistent playoff contribution for the Giants as he collected 20 points in 22 games. The 6'1, 185-pounder from Lethbridge, Alberta already has 40 WHL playoff games under his belt along with nine Memorial Cup game appearances over the past two years. It was only a concussion that slowed him down late in the year. He played on the Giants top line with Wacey Rabbit.
2005-06: He found himself playing right wing with NHL returnee Gilbert Brule (CLB) in the Memorial Cup by the end of the 2005-06 season. As a WHL rookie, Machacek scored 23 goals and 22 assists and was +14. He was co-winner of the Giants' Rookie of the Year honor.
Machacek had played with Brooks Bandits in the Tier 2 AJHL in 2004-05.
