Phantoms Star Spacek Signs in ECHL

Another GMHL alumnus has moved to the professional level of hockey. Michal Spacek, who played last season with the Bracebridge Phantoms, has signed with the Stockton Thunder of the East Coast Hockey League.

Spacek was to top defenceman on Bracebridge last season scoring an impressive 76 points (32-44-76) in just 41 games. Michal signed with the Phantoms in the summer of 2012 as a over age player after spending most of his junior hockey career in the Czech Republic top U20 junior league.

The Stockton Thunder are the farm club of the New York Islanders. They were conference champions last regular season.

Spacek joins a growing list of GMHL alumni that will be making their professional debuts this season. Last week GMHL veteran and Toronto Attack star forward Nick DeMarchi played his first game with the Toledo Walleye ECHL.
