Profile Contributed By: Leslie Treff
History
Zdenek Bahensky played within the system of the HC Chemopetrol Litvinov team through the 2003-04 season. He played his way through all the age categories until the junior level, but didn't manage to make his senior Extraleague debut. After being selected by the New York Rangers in the third round of the 2004 NHL Entry Draft, Bahensky came to North America to play junior hockey.
During the 2004-05 and 2005-06 seasons, Bahensky was a very offensively productive and defensively responsible winger for the WHL's Saskatoon Blades.
After signing a one-year AHL deal with the Hartford Wolf Pack prior to the start of last season, Bahensky shuttled back and forth between the ECHL Charlotte Checkers and Hartford last season.
Bahensky has returned to the Czech Republic and is playing in the Czech Elite League during the 2007-08 season.
