David Musil

David Musil (born April 9, 1993) is a Canadian born-Czech ice hockey player who is currently playing under contract to HC Dynamo Pardubice in the Czech Extraliga (ELH). He was a second-round selection of the Edmonton Oilers in the 2011 NHL entry draft. SKA Saint Petersburg picked Musil in the first round, 12th overall of the 2010 KHL Junior Draft. He played junior hockey in the Western Hockey League for the Vancouver Giants and the Edmonton Oil Kings. Musil was born in Canada, and raised in the Czech Republic. He represents the Czech Republic in international play.

Playing career Musil played in the 2005 and 2006 Quebec International Pee-Wee Hockey Tournaments with a youth team from Chomutov.

Musil started his junior ice hockey career in the Western Hockey League (WHL) in a circuitous fashion, as he was initially passed over in the league's bantam draft because he was not living in Canada. Knowing the family would soon be moving to Vancouver, his father Frank approached the Vancouver Giants about "listing" Musil to obtain his rights. After this news became public, other teams in the WHL protested, and the league decided to hold a lottery draft specifically to determine Musil's initial destination in the league. The Kootenay Ice won the draft and Musil's WHL rights. They promptly traded him to Vancouver, as Musil had made it clear he wished to play in his new hometown. Vancouver's director of player personnel, James Ripplinger, praised Musil's play during the season, "His poise with the puck when being pressured, not making any mistakes; he was such a reliable player."

As a free agent from the Oilers, Musil opted to return to his native country after 8 seasons abroad, agreeing to a one-year deal with HC Oceláři Třinec of the Extraliga on July 31, 2017.

International play Despite being born in Canada, Musil represents the Czech Republic in international play. He has represented his country at the IIHF World Junior Championships twice, in 2012 and 2013. His brother, Adam was drafted by the St. Louis Blues in the 2015 NHL Entry Draft.
