Ivan Huml

Ivan Huml (born September 6, 1981) is a retired Czech professional ice hockey player whose career spanned over a decade in both North America and Europe. Selected 59th overall by the Boston Bruins in the second round of the 2000 NHL entry draft, he went on to play 49 regular‑season games with the Bruins over three seasons, recording 6 goals, 12 assists, and 18 points, along with 36 penalty minutes. After his time in the NHL, Huml continued his career in several elite European leagues, including the Czech Extraliga, Finland's SM‑liiga, and Sweden's Elitserien.

Playing career Huml began his professional hockey journey in North America, spending his early years with the Providence Bruins, the AHL affiliate of the Boston Bruins. In 2004, he chose to return to his home country, joining HC Rabat Kladno in the Czech Extraliga. Seeking new challenges, Huml then ventured abroad, signing with TPS in Finland's SM-liiga. His career path then took him to Sweden's top division, the Elitserien, where he played several strong seasons with Mora IK until 2008. That same year, he returned once again to the Czech Republic to join HC Mountfield. During the 2009–10 campaign, Huml was loaned midseason to HC Kometa Brno, where his performance earned him a permanent spot for the 2010–11 season. His consistent play caught the attention of Finnish club Oulun Kärpät, and in January 2011 he signed with them, embarking on a highly successful six‑year stint that included two league championships. After concluding his tenure with Kärpät in 2016, Huml returned home once more, closing out his professional career with Piráti Chomutov in the Czech Extraliga.
