Jan Košťálek (born 17 February 1995) is a Czech professional ice hockey defenceman. He is currently playing with HC Dynamo Pardubice of the Czech Extraliga (ELH). Košťálek was selected by the Winnipeg Jets in the 4th round (114th overall) of the 2013 NHL Entry Draft.

Playing career[edit]

Amateur[edit]

Košťálek made his Czech Extraliga debut playing with HC Sparta Praha during the 2011–12 Czech Extraliga season.[1] In 2014–15, Košťálek was instrumental in leading Rimouski to the 2015 Memorial Cup, as the team defeated the Quebec Remparts in seven games, to win the QMJHL Championship. Košťálek was awarded the Kevin Lowe Trophy, for being chosen the best defensive defenseman in the QMJHL.[2] Kostalek was also awarded the Emile Bouchard Trophy, being named defenseman of the year.[3]

Professional[edit]

During his third North American junior season with Rimouski in 2014–15, Košťálek was signed to a three-year entry-level contract with the Winnipeg Jets on 19 March 2015.[4] On 9 October, Kostalek made his North American professional ice hockey debut, with the Manitoba Moose.[5]

Unable to make progress within the Winnipeg Jets organization during his entry-level contract, Košťálek as a restricted free agent opted to return to his native Czech Republic, rejoining former club HC Sparta Praha of the Extraliga on July 2, 2018.[6]
