Patrik Bartošák (born 29 March 1993) is a Czech ice hockey goaltender. He is currently playing with HC Vítkovice of the Czech Extraliga (ELH). Bartosak was selected by the Los Angeles Kings in the 5th round (146th overall) of the 2013 NHL Entry Draft. Bartosak is a nephew of former NHL player, Radek Bonk.
Playing career
Bartošák played major junior hockey with the Red Deer Rebels in the Western Hockey League from the 2011–12 season, was rewarded for his outstanding play during the 2012–13 WHL season by winning the Del Wilson Trophy as the Western Hockey League's Goaltender of the Year, and also being named to the 2013 WHL East First All-Star Team. He also won the CHL goalie of the year award for 2012–13 season.
In the 2015–16 season, while with the Kings now ECHL affiliate, the Manchester Monarchs, Bartošák appeared in 2 games before he was suspended indefinitely without pay by the Kings, after he was arrested with second degree assault charges in a domestic violence case against his then girlfriend by New Hampshire authorities on 18 November 2015. On 1 February 2016, Bartošák effectively ended his tenure in the Kings organization in returning to his native Czech Republic and signing to return to HC Vítkovice Steel of the Czech Extraliga. With HC Vítkovice effectively agreeing to take over the final year of his entry-level contract with the Kings, Bartošák would not be retained with the qualifying offer by the Kings in the following off-season.
