Petr Průcha (born September 14, 1982) is a Czech professional ice hockey forward who is currently playing for SKA St. Petersburg of the Kontinental Hockey League.

Playing career

Petr Průcha was drafted by the New York Rangers in the 8th round of the 2002 NHL Entry Draft, 240th overall. He played 47 games in the 2004–05 season for HC Moeller Pardubice in the Czech Republic League, scoring seven goals with 17 points.

In the 2005–06 season he moved onto the Rangers as a rookie, and under the tutelage of Jaromír Jágr, scored 30 goals and 47 points in 68 games. His 16 powerplay goals on the season broke Camille Henry's record for the single-season rookie power play goal mark for the Rangers.

On July 5, 2007, Průcha re-signed with the Rangers to a 2 year deal worth $3.2 million.

On March 4, 2009, Průcha was traded to the Phoenix Coyotes along with Dimitri Kalinin and Nigel Dawes for Derek Morris.[1] On June 19, 2009, he signed a 2 year deal with the Coyotes worth $1.1 million per season.[2]

After playing unproductively for some time, the Phoenix Coyotes assigned Prucha to the San Antonio Rampage of the American Hockey League. Unwilling to play for a minor league team, Prucha soon left for the Kontinental Hockey League to play for SKA St. Petersburg.

Career highlights

  • Led the Czech Republic Junior League in points during the 2001–02 season (33 assists and 56 points in 25 games).
