From the Czech Republic, Tomas Vokoun had a fantastic career in the NHL, most notably with the Nashville Predators, where he had three straight seasons where he finished in the top ten in Vezina Trophy voting with a 10th, 8th, and 4th place finish in the 2003/04, 04/05, and 06/07 respectively.  The year after, the two-time NHL All-Star would play for the Florida Panthers and would lead the league in Goalie Point Shares.

Vokoun was not blessed in the National Hockey League with much support up front, as he was only in the playoffs three times, but he was a two-time World Hockey Championship Gold Medalist with the Czech Republic and also won a Bronze Medal in both the Olympics and the World Cup.
