Profile Contributed By: Jeff Dahlia
History
2006-07: Had a lot of success with Slavia during the season, collecting 58 points (24 goals, 34 assists) and 54 penalty minutes in 37 games played. He was also a member of the Czech Republic team for the U18 tournament in Finland this past spring. He tied Ondrej Roman for the lead in team scoring with six points (2 goals, 4 assists).
The young pivot is the son of former NHLer Vladimir Ruzicka.
Talent Analysis
The Coyotes admitted that Ruzicka seemed to lack consistency and drive throughout the season at times, but feel that if he commits, he’ll be one heck of an offensive threat. When he’s on top of his game, he can be very dangerous. He can skate and move the puck with skill.
Future
Ruzicka will continue to develop with HC Slavia Praha.
