"Ladislav Ben\u00FD\u0161ek (born March 25, 1975 in Olomouc, Czechoslovakia) is a Czech professional ice hockey defenceman who has played parts of four seasons at the National Hockey League level, with the Edmonton Oilers and Minnesota Wild. He currently plays for AS Asiago Hockey in Italy's Serie A. Ben\u00FD\u0161ek was selected by the Oilers in the 11th round of the 1994 NHL Entry Draft, 266th overall, after spending the previous season with his hometown HC Olomouc of the Czech league. Following the draft, Ben\u00FD\u0161ek came over to North America, and spent the 1994\u201395 season with the Cape Breton Oilers, Edmonton's AHL farm team. Ben\u00FD\u0161ek returned to Europe for the next two seasons, playing for Olomouc and Sparta Praha. Electing to again spend a season in North America, Ben\u00FD\u0161ek played his first NHL hockey in the 1997\u201398 season, going pointless in two games. Aside from that brief stint, however, Ben\u00FD\u0161ek was again confined to the AHL, where he played for the Hamilton Bulldogs. Despite eventually being claimed off waivers by the Mighty Ducks of Anaheim, Ben\u00FD\u0161ek would spend the next three seasons back with Sparta Praha. It was not until the 2000 NHL Expansion Draft, when the newly formed Minnesota Wild selected Ben\u00FD\u0161ek from the Ducks that he got the opportunity to play regular minutes. For the next two seasons, Ben\u00FD\u0161ek was an integral part of the Wild blueline. In his third season with the Wild, Benysek played only 14 games before being assigned to the AHL's Houston Aeros. Following the completion of the season, Ben\u00FD\u0161ek returned to Europe, where he joined HIFK in Finland's SM-liiga and also had a spell in Sweden with Leksands IF. In 2006, Ben\u00FD\u0161ek rejoined Sparta Praha for a third spell which lasted just one season before he moved to France's Ligue Magnus for Dragons de Rouen. In 2008, Ben\u00FD\u0161ek moved to Denmark's Oddset Ligaen with Totempo HvIK."@en . "1994"^^ .
