Milan Michálek (pronounced [ˈmɪlan ˈmɪxaːlɛk], sometimes anglicised as IPA: /mɪˈkælɛk/) (born December 7, 1984 in Jindřichův Hradec, Czechoslovakia) is a NHL ice hockey player, currently playing left wing for the San Jose Sharks. He was drafted sixth overall by the Sharks in the 2003 NHL Entry Draft. His brother, Zbynek, also plays in the NHL for the Phoenix Coyotes. Drafted by San Jose because he was considered the most NHL-ready player in the draft, Michálek scored a goal in his first game before suffering a knee injury on October 11 in his second game when he tore his right ACL.[1] After knee surgery, Michálek played in the American Hockey League before injuring his knee again on January 22. During the 2004-05 NHL lockout, Michálek did not play anywhere, spending the time rehabbing his knee.

Michálek is a speedy winger who is known for his two-way game. Hockeysfuture describes his potential as that of a first-line winger.
