Frantisek Kaberle

František "Frank" Kaberle (born November 8, 1973) is a Czech professional ice hockey defenceman, currently playing for HC Kladno of the Czech Extraliga. During the 2005–06 season, he won his first Stanley Cup with the Carolina Hurricanes. He has previously played for Modo Hockey, the Los Angeles Kings, the Atlanta Thrashers, and the Hurricanes. Kaberle was drafted 76th overall the 1999 NHL Entry Draft by the Kings. His brother Tomáš Kaberle plays for the Toronto Maple Leafs, and his father, František Kaberle, Sr. used to play for the Czech national ice hockey team as well. Both of the Kaberle brothers were named to the Czech national ice hockey team for the 2006 Winter Olympics in Turin, Italy.
In the 2006 Stanley Cup Finals, he scored a goal in the 2nd period of Game 7 against the Edmonton Oilers, which would turn out to be the game and Stanley Cup winning goal.
During the off-season before the 2006–07 season, Kaberle suffered a shoulder injury, and was placed on the injured reserve on September 13, 2006. He was removed from the injured reserve on February 6, 2007 and scored the game winner that same night.
Kaberle was declared a free agent after the Carolina Hurricanes bought out the final year of his contract on July 28, 2009.
