Central European hockey player homecomings

Entities: HC Dynamo Pardubice · Mika Kohonen · Tatran Střešovice · Martin Šindelář · Petr Dědek

Overview

In early July 2026, Slovak club HC Košice announced the signing of forward Tomáš Jurčo, while longtime teammate Tomáš Starosta retired, marking a notable roster change for the team. By the end of the month, Czech club HC Dynamo Pardubice completed its own summer recruitment by bringing back veteran forward Tomáš Nosek after a 12‑year NHL career. The two moves illustrate a broader pattern of Central European ice‑hockey clubs strengthening their squads with experienced players returning from overseas leagues.
