Adam Ružička

Adam Ružička (born 11 May 1999) is a Slovak professional ice hockey player who is a centre for Avtomobilist Yekaterinburg of the Kontinental Hockey League (KHL). He has previously played for the Calgary Flames and Arizona Coyotes of the National Hockey League (NHL), and Spartak Moscow of the KHL.

Growing up in Slovakia, Ružička trained at various ice hockey schools before joining Dynamo Pardubice's under-20 team. His offensive abilities earned him attention from the Kontinental Hockey League (KHL) and he was eventually drafted 14th overall by the Slovan Bratislava in the KHL Junior Draft. However, Ružička chose to move to North America and play with the Sarnia Sting and Sudbury Wolves of the Ontario Hockey League (OHL). After being taken 109th overall by the Calgary Flames in the 2017 NHL entry draft, he developed within their system, playing in the American Hockey League (AHL) for the Stockton Heat.
