HC Skoda Pilsen’s forward, Jan Kovar was established as a player of the month for March by the Eurohockey.com visitors. He had behind himself a fantastic season, which he managed to finish with an outstanding performance during the Czech play-offs.
Jan Kovar gained almost a thousand of votes in the choice of last man of the month, during which he managed to gather 5 goals and 7 assists in 11 games. He wasn’t the most producitve player of the other candidates, which were Chris Lee, Layne Ulmer, Alexander Yeryomenko and David Ling, but he was probably the most valuable one in the comparison of his league‘s level.
For more, his fantastic condition lasted longer than just during March. Until the very end of the season in the Czech Republic, he was an important part of the current champion team from Pilsen and stood behind the biggest success in the club’s history as he helped to get the cup to the town for the first time ever.
After the regular season, he managed to held his productivity near a point on the match, but in the play-offs, his form graduated. In the end, he has became a most productive league player (11+15) in the play-offs ahead of his captain (8+12) by six points just as he won the table of goal scorers (11), again with Martin Straka (8) just behind him.
For sure, his performance calls for the invitation into the Czech national team for the upcoming World Championship after which, he will most probably go to the KHL. Magnitogorsk seems to have an interest in this golden boy from Pisek, who conquered the Czech league still just 23-years-old.
