From the Czech Republic, Ales Hemsky played in 845 Regular Season Games in the NHL, mostly with the Edmonton Oilers.  The Right Wing was in Northern Alberta for roughly three quarters of his NHL career, and he would have three 65 Point plus years for the Oilers.

From Czechoslovakia, Ales Hemsky probably never got the overall respect that he should have, as his best seasons in the NHL were with the Edmonton Oilers at a time when they were not that good.
