Biography

Jan Hrbatý was the rare Czechoslovakian ice hockey player who spent his entire career with one club, playing for HC Dukla Jihlava from 1961-79 as a forward, scoring 222 goals in 572 matches. Internationally he played at the 1968 Winter Olympics, winning a silver medal, and at three World Championships – 1967, 1969, 1970 – winning bronze medals in 1969 and 1970. As a youth, Hrbatý started out as a football player, but quickly turned to hockey. In December 2015 he was inducted into the Czech Hockey Hall of Fame. He was the patriarch of a family hockey dynasty, as his son, Jan, and grandsons – Jan, Filip, and Adam – all became top hockey players.
