Excel Hull Stingrays player-coach Sylvain Cloutier has today completed the signing of 6'5, 231lbs Czech power forward Frantisek Bakrlik from Polish top flight side MMKS Podhale Nowy Targ.
A former junior prospect in Canada's Ontario Hockey League, the now 28 year old has since iced in the SPHL, Czech Second Division, UHL - where he played alongside Cloutier and fellow new Stingray Dmitri Suur - and the Polish top division - where he has spent the majority of the last five seasons and was last year an All-Star.
