Topic: Petr Sykora

Petr Sýkora (born November 19, 1976 in Plzen, Czechoslovakia) is a professional ice hockey player, currently playing for the Pittsburgh Penguins of the National Hockey League.

Before being drafted, Sykora spent several seasons in the Czechoslovak Extraliga and the IHL. As a Cleveland Lumberjack, Sykora became the youngest player ever to play in the IHL at 17 years and 71 days.

In the 1995 NHL Entry Draft, Sykora was drafted in the first round, 18th overall, by the New Jersey Devils. Among that draft class, only Jarome Iginla has scored more points.
