Radek Martínek (born August 31, 1976 in Havlíčkův Brod, Czechoslovakia) is an ice hockey defenceman, currently playing for the New York Islanders of the NHL.

Playing career[]

Martínek was an 8th round selection, 228th overall by the Islanders in the 1999 NHL Entry Draft. He joined the Islanders in 2001, and has been a mainstay on their blueline since that time. With the exception of Rick DiPietro, Martinek has the longest tenure with the team of any current player.

Martinek is considered an excellent two way defenseman who will successfully pinch in from the point and make accurate passes out of the defensive zone. He plays with poise, and owns a good shot from the point.

Martínek won the 2001 World Championship as a member of the Czech National Team.
