Lukáš Klok (born June 7, 1995) is a Czech professional ice hockey defenceman currently playing with SC Bern of the Swiss National League (NL).

Playing career

Klok made his professional debut with HC Vítkovice Ridera of the Czech Extraliga.[1] Following his fourth season with Vítkovice in 2017–18, Klok opted to sign a one-year deal with Slovak club, HC Slovan Bratislava of the KHL, on June 22, 2018.[2]

On 14 July 2022, Klok was signed as an undrafted free agent to a one-year entry-level contract by the Arizona Coyotes of the National Hockey League (NHL).[3] Klok participated in training camp and pre-season with the Coyotes before being re-assigned to begin his first professional season in North America with American Hockey League (AHL) affiliate the Tucson Roadrunners. Klok made four appearances on the blueline with the Roadrunners to start the 2022–23 season before he was placed on unconditional waivers by the Coyotes in opting to mutually terminate his contract on 28 October 2022.[4]

Klok returned to Europe with Swedish club Rögle BK of the Swedish Hockey League (SHL) for the remainder of the season on 5 November 2022.[5] Klok appeared in 11 games from the blueline with Rögle BK before leaving the club prematurely to sign for the remainder of the season with Swiss National League (NL) club, HC Lugano, on 13 January 2023.[6]

Klok returned as a free agent for a second stint with Neftekhimik Nizhnekamsk of the KHL, signing a two-year contract on 22 July 2023.[7]
