Hockey club Sparta Praha has signed Czech national team player Matěj Blümel, who is returning from overseas. The twenty-six-year-old forward is returning to the Czech extraliga after four seasons in North America and has signed a four-year contract with the Prague club. Sparta thus confirmed one of its main summer reinforcements to the offense. teraz.sk ↗
Blümel spent recent years mainly in the lower North American league, the AHL, and also played in the NHL. On the farm team he became only the second Czech hockey player to be its top scorer, but even that was not enough for him to secure a permanent place in the NHL. Most recently he had a one-year contract with Boston, and according to available information, after it ended he wanted to continue fighting for a firmer place overseas. idnes.cz ↗
Before returning to the Czech Republic, he also negotiated with Pardubice, but in the end chose Sparta. The Prague club had been waiting for another significant reinforcement since the beginning of May, when it announced the arrival of Jiří Sekáč. Blümel arrives as a national team forward and participant in this year's World Championship in Switzerland. idnes.cz ↗
For Sparta, this represents a significant addition to the attack ahead of the new extraliga season. After repeated setbacks, the club is trying to strengthen its squad, and Blümel's arrival is among the most notable transfers of this summer in Czech hockey. He himself makes clear that he is aware of the expectations tied to his engagement at Sparta and that he is joining the team as a scorer. denik.cz ↗
