Star Player: Lubos Bartecko

 Lubos doesn't play in America any more but he deserves to be honored and it was something that I was made aware of only recently even though the reason I'm honoring happened at the Olympics in Vancouver earlier this year. Lubos was playing for Slovakia in the Olympics when Ole Kristian Tollefsen from Norway knocked Lubos to the ice. The situation was made worse when his helmet exposed more of his head (probably caused by a second hit). Lubos ended up getting a concussion and bleeding from the back of the head. But as I learned this past hockey season Slovakian hockey players are tough as nails and hard headed so Lubos was fine and I think went back to play over seas in a Swedish League. So good luck Lubos
