Boston Bruins star forward, David Pastrňák, has won the Golden Hockey Stick award for the seventh time. The 56th edition of the traditional poll ceremony symbolically sealed the hockey year in which Czechia won the gold medal at the World Championships on home ground.
Pastrňák, 28, nicknamed “Pasta,” did not attend the event at Žofín in Prague because he is in the United States. The hockey star received 595 votes in a vote of representatives, which included the Czech Ice Hockey Federation’s sports department, national team coaches, top competition clubs, and selected journalists. He beat second-placed goaltender, Lukáš Dostál, who was there thanks to his performances at the World Championships, by 79 points. Martin Nečas was another six points behind.
