Tomáš Kůrka (born 14 December 1981) is a Czech former ice hockey forward. He played 17 games in the National Hockey League with the Carolina Hurricanes between 2003 and 2004. The rest of his career, which lasted from 1998 to 2020, was mainly spent in the Czech Extraliga.

Playing career

[edit]

Kůrka was drafted by the Carolina Hurricanes as their second-round pick, No. 32 overall, in the 2000 NHL Entry Draft. Kůrka spent two seasons playing junior level in the Ontario Hockey League with the Plymouth Whalers before moving to the Hurricanes organization in 2001.

After spending a season in the American Hockey League with the Lowell Lock Monsters, Kůrka made his NHL debut with the Hurricanes during 2002–03 NHL season, playing 14 games, scoring 3 goals and 2 assists for 5 points. He would go on to play just 3 more games for Carolina, scoring no points. With the 2004–05 NHL season locked-out and eventually cancelled, Kůrka split the season in the AHL with the Providence Bruins and back home in the Czech Republic for HC Litvínov.

He chose to remain in Europe, signing for KalPa in the Finnish SM-liiga. He also played for Ilves in the same league, before moving to Södertälje SK in the Swedish HockeyAllsvenskan.

Kůrka then returned to the Czech Extraliga in 2007, signing for HC České Budějovice.[1] He joined Slavia Prague for a second time in 2011.[2]

On 8 November 2013, Tomas Kůrka was announced as a Cardiff Devils player, he will play his first game for the Devils on Sunday 10 November 2013 against the Hull Stingrays. He scored a Penalty Shot on his full debut.
