Patrik Martinec

Patrik Martinec (born September 4, 1971 in Jilemnice, Czechoslovakia) is a former professional ice hockey forward who played his last five seasons for Anyang Halla of the Asia League Ice Hockey, from South Korea. While playing for Halla, he earned the nickname "Grandfather" because of the age difference between him and most of the players on the team.

On June 18, 2010, Martinec was officially hired as assistant coach. He signed a one-year deal. The following season, he joined HC Sparta Praha, spending the first season there as an assistant coach and the subsequent three seasons as head coach. In May 2016, Anyang Halla announced that he was taking over as head coach from Jiří Veber. He would have taken over two years earlier, but had to see out his ongoing contract and had suggested Veber to Anyang Halla.
