After an excellent regular season with HC Litvínov, Liam Kirk duly kicked on in the playoffs.
The Great Britain forward scored for fun when he was promoted to the top six in his favoured wing position.
His thirteen points in as many games included nine goals, a franchise-best in a single playoff campaign for his Czech team.
HC Litvínov would fall at the semi-final stage and there was no fairytale ending for Kirk after his first complete season as a professional.
Kirk made new friends and fans in HC Litvínov and will be sorely missed as he moves to new pastures for 2024/25.
