Biography
After being drafted in the first round (5th overall) of the 2005 Western Hockey League's bantam draft, Prokop narrowed his focus to pursing a career in professional hockey. He moved away at 16 and went on to play five seasons of major junior hockey spending time with the Moose Jaw Warriors, Regina Pats and Tri-City Americans. Â
Prokop was ranked 95th overall among North American skaters for the 2008 NHL Entry Draft and received a free-agent tryout with the NHL’s Columbus Blue Jackets the following season. At age 20, he suffered a badly broken femur that ultimately limited further prof hockey opportunities. Â
