From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The following is a list of
ice hockey players from
Slovakia who played or are playing in the
National Hockey League (NHL). It is sorted by all-time points scored.
Since the
1958–59 season, 91 Slovak forwards and defencemen have played at least one game in the NHL. Also, five goalies native to Slovakia have appeared in games.
At the top of this list, there is additionally the unranked
Stan Mikita . Stan Mikita was born in Slovakia, but left at the age of eight. He learned to play hockey in Canada and represented Canada internationally, so his first place may be disputed by some sources. All other players started their pro-careers in Europe.
Active players currently playing in the NHL are in bold.
– Player has won a Stanley Cup.
