Ondřej Kovařčík (born June 10, 1995) is a Czech professional ice hockey player for HC Oceláři Třinec of the Czech Extraliga (ELH).
Playing career
Kovařčík made his Czech Extraliga debut playing with HC Oceláři Třinec during the 2014–15 season.[1] After six seasons in the ELH, Kovařčík moved Mikkelin Jukurit of the Finnish Liiga.[2]
He later returned to the Czech Extraliga initially with Motor České Budějovice before returning to original club, HC Oceláři Třinec, in 2024.
His younger brother Michal is also a professional hockey player – only 18 months apart in age, their early careers followed almost the same trajectory;[3] their success as a partnership led to their being nicknamed after the Sedin twins (Daniel and Henrik Sedin).[4] Former NHL winger Tomáš Fleischmann is their stepbrother.
