Former Maverick Tomek Named to Slovakian Team
Jan 19, 2022 | Hockey
A second former Omaha hockey player has landed a spot on an Olympic roster.
Goalie Matej Tomek has been named to the Slovakian team for the upcoming Winter Games in Beijing. The announcement comes less than a week after defenseman Brian Cooper was added to the U.S. team.
Tomek spent part of the 2018-19 season with the Mavericks, seeing action in five games before moving on. He served as a backup to starter Evan Weninger in that season.
The Bratislava, Slovakia, native earned Goaltender of the Year honors after posting 24 wins and a 1.83 goals-against average for Topeka of the North American Hockey League in 2014-15. He was selected in the third round of the 2015 NHL Draft by Philadelphia and spent two collegiate seasons at North Dakota.
Tomek left UND after the 2017-18 season and played 30 games for Waterloo in the United States Hockey League before joining Mike Gabinet's second team in Omaha. He played just under 140 minutes.
