Robin Soudek (born July 31, 1991) is a Czech professional ice hockey player. He is currently playing with SC Riessersee in the Oberliga (DEL3).
Soudek played in his youth with HC České Budějovice before he was drafted 12 overall in the 2008 CHL import draft by the Edmonton Oil Kings of the Western Hockey League. Undrafted after his junior career with the Oil Kings, Chilliwack Bruins and Victoria Royals, Soudek returned to his original club, České Budějovice, in his native Czech Republic.[1] During the 2012–13 season, he appeared in just 11 games for his first professional season.
With a lack of playing time, Soudek was prompted to return to North America and accepted an invite to the Lake Erie Monsters training camp for the 2013–14 season.[2] Unable to earn a contract, Soudek was reassigned to CHL affiliate, the Denver Cutthroats to begin the year. On February 12, 2014, Soudek earned a recall to the Monsters, scoring in his first AHL game in a 5-4 shootout victory over the Oklahoma City Barons on February 15, before later returning to help the Cutthroats reach the Ray Miron Cup finals.[3]
On September 3, 2014, Soudek as a free agent signed a one-year standard player contract with the Stockton Thunder of the ECHL.[4] In the 2014–15 season, Soudek scored 4 goals and 6 points in 9 games with the Thunder before he was traded to the Rapid City Rush on November 9, 2014.[5]
On July 20, 2015, Soudek opted to return to his native country, agreeing to a try-out contract with HC Olomouc of the Czech Extraliga.[6] He was later released without an offer of a contract.
