Michal Kvasnica, born in Ostrava, learned to play hockey at HC Slezan Opava and moved to Trinec at the age of U16. There he made his debut in the Czech first division 17-18, playing a total of eight games, seven of them in the playoff. The following campaign, Kvasnica had a stint in the WHL with Portland Winterhawks (8G|12). A move to Vancouver Giants (9G|11A) then followed for the former Czech junior international before he returned home and to HC TESLA Orli Znojmo. During the last season he was loaned to the SHC Fassa Falcons – since this year he is a permanent part of the "Adler" and scored six goals and three assists in 25 season games so far.

Michal Kvasnica: "It means quite a lot to me to win such an award and I would like to thank fans and my friends who voted for me, but also my teammates, coaching staff and management. I have felt really good on the ice this season so far and I think we are playing better as a team now, too. The results don´t show it yet, but I really believe we will start collecting more points soon."

Procedure of the election
First, five monthly winners will be determined. For this purpose, four players per month are nominated to take part in the voting. Due to less gamedays in September 2021, the first two months have been combined into one election. The five monthly winners will then compete in April 2022 for the title of "Opel & Beyschlag Young Star of the 2021/22 season".

The election consists of three components: in addition to the fan voting on the league homepage, the Puls24 experts, as well as journalists will also cast their votes. If two or more players receive the same number of votes, they will be ranked according to the result of the fan vote.

Winner September/October | Benjamin Lanzinger (EC GRAND Immo VSV)
Winner November | Michal Kvasnica (HC TESLA Orli Znojmo)
