Jaroslav Modrý (born February 27, 1971 in České Budějovice, Czechoslovakia) is a Czech professional ice hockey player. He plays defense for the Philadelphia Flyers in the National Hockey League (NHL).
[edit] Playing career
Modry was selected 179th overall in the ninth round of the 1990 NHL Entry Draft by the New Jersey Devils. He made his NHL debut with the Devils during the 1993–94 season. A trade to the Ottawa Senators in July 1995 was followed months later in March 1996 by a trade to the Los Angeles Kings. Modry started seeing more playing time in the NHL and eventually became an NHL regular with the Kings, playing his first full season in 2000–01. The following season, 2001–02, saw Modry set career highs in assists (38) and points (42) and play in his first NHL All-Star Game. He scored a career high 13 goals in 2002–03.
After the 2003–04 season, Modry left the Kings as an unrestricted free agent and signed with the Atlanta Thrashers. He returned to the Czech Extraliga and played for HC Liberec during the 2004–05 NHL lockout. After only one season with Atlanta, Modry was traded along with Patrik Stefan to the Dallas Stars for Niko Kapanen and a 2006 7th round draft pick. After playing half of the 2006–07 season with the Stars, Dallas sent him back to the Kings as part of a deadline day deal to acquire former Kings teammate Mattias Norstrom. A year later during the following season, Modry was on the move again as the Kings traded him to the Philadelphia Flyers for a 2008 3rd round draft pick.
