OHL Alumni Central

Josef Vasicek will be the lone OHL grad on the Czech Repulic team at the upcoming Winter Olympics in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. Josef played his OHL days with the Sault Ste. Marie Greyhounds in 1998-99 and 1999-00.

Josef had a mediocre NHL career with the Carolina Hurricanes, Nashville Predators and New York Islanders. His past two seasons have been spent in the Russian KHL with Yaroslavl Lokomotiv where he has put up consistant numbers. His page on the team’s official site can be found here. The site is only in Russian.

Yaroslavl plays out of the Lokomotiv Arena 2000 which can hold just over 9000 fans. Yaroslavl is a city of over 600,000 residents and is located not far from Moscow.
