Petr Mikulak is not a long tenured player, only in his second SMJHL season, but he is definitely a storied player and one who deserves at least three short films and 10-20 biographies. As a young child he often played anywhere in the line up, honestly he was just desperate for playing time. He idolised his older brother and eventually it was his brother that encouraged him to pursue a career in the SHL. In the SMJHL draft he was very surprised to be taken 37th overall, he was expecting to end up as perhaps a 50-60th pick. His GM told him that he was taken because of his good performances in the World Junior Championship where he was part of a Czech squad that took gold. Vancouver was very kind and welcoming to him and really made him feel at home in a place where he was so far away from where he was born and where he grew up. Fast forward to the end of the season, Vancouver had been eliminated in the semi-finals and Petr had to prepare for the SHL draft this time he wasn't expecting to go 50-60th he was confident he had cemented his position from last time as a 35-45th pick. That wasn't how it ended up for him though, he had slid into the laps of the West Kendal Platoon, a team that hadn't even reached out to scout him, but after a few talks it was clear he was a valuable asset to them and is happy to start thinking about his life and spot on the team in the future.
