Tomas Vincour is on fire in AHL!

Tomas Vincour is on fire in AHL!Czech rookie had a great start in Lake Erie Monsters!

Vincour is off to a tremendous start in AHL. In his first 6 games he managed to add 11 points to his score sheet. Talented youngster from Czech Republic showed his qualities already in Dallas Stars scoring two goals and adding an assist in 15 appearances this season.  Mind you that he was playing in 3rd line and in team that was struggling to score goals in the first place. At that time, Stars were also considered as outlaws from this year´s play-offs.

The 22-year-old Vincour was born in Brno, Czech Republic and with 6-foot-2, 204-pound he is powerful forward with good hockey sense and is considered as responsible player on ice. He has very good puck protection and does not say no to physical game either.

He was selected by Dallas Stars in the 5th round (129th overall) of the 2009 entry draft and even though he had some solid seasons oversees; it seems that he has found the right fit just now, in AHL team Lake Erie Monsters.

He is no rookie to NHL either, as he already played in 86 NHL games and added 15 points overall (all for Dallas Stars). Unfortunately, Monsters will not make it this year to the play-off, but we are all hoping he will prove us his qualities next season for Avalanche! He definitely has the potential for it.
