Dalibor Dvorsky

Dalibor Dvorský (born 15 June 2005) is a Slovak professional ice hockey player who is a centre for the St. Louis Blues of the National Hockey League (NHL). He was drafted tenth overall by the Blues in the 2023 NHL entry draft.

Playing career Playing as a youth within the Swedish and Slovak junior leagues, Dvorský as a part of AIK, opted to join HC '05 Banská Bystrica of the Slovak Extraliga for the remainder of the 2020–21 on 6 January 2021, making his professional debut as a 15 year-old. Dvorský holds the record for the youngest player to score a goal in the men's Slovak league.

Dvorský returned to AIK for the 2021–22 season and was later signed to his first senior team contract, agreeing to a two-year deal, on 7 February 2022.

On 28 June 2023, Dvorský was selected tenth overall by the St. Louis Blues in the 2023 NHL entry draft. He signed a three-year entry-level contract with the Blues on 14 July 2023.

Dvorský began the 2023–24 season in the Swedish Hockey League (SHL) with IK Oskarshamn. However, he struggled to earn ice time, and after ten games had not registered any points. He opted to move to North American to play with Sudbury Wolves in the Ontario Hockey League (OHL). Dvorský made his debut with the Wolves on October 20, 2023, scoring his first OHL goal in a 4–3 loss to the Flint Firebirds. Despite appearing in only 52 regular season games, he managed a team-leading 45 goals. His shooting percentage of 26.8% was the highest in the OHL. Dvorský had three goals and seven assists in nine playoff games. The postseason ended in disappointment after the Wolves were swept in the second round by the North Bay Battalion, but he nonetheless called his time in Sudbury "amazing".

International play Dvorský won a gold medal with Slovakia at the 2022 World U18 Division IA Championships, scoring 11 points in five games.

Personal life As he played in Sweden in junior leagues, Dvorský is fluent in the Swedish language.
