Career

Honzík began playing for HC Karlovy Vary's academy team at U18 and U20 level before he was drafted 33rd overall by the Victoriaville Tigres of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League in the 2010 CHL Import Draft.[1] In his first season in the QMJHL, Honzík participated in the CHL Top Prospects Game. He was then drafted 71st overall by the Vancouver Canucks in the 2011 NHL Entry Draft[2] but never signed with the Canucks and instead spent two more seasons in the QMJHL with the Tigres and later the Cape Breton Screaming Eagles before returning to Karlovy Vary.

Honzík made his Czech Extraliga debut for Karlovy Vary during the 2015 Relegation Round. He then had a loan spell with HC Dukla Jihlava before returning to the Karlovy Vary lineup for the 2016–17 Czech Extraliga season.[3] On May 11, 2017, Honzík signed for HC Sparta Praha.[4] He had two separate loan spells with HC Slavia Praha before returning to Dukla Jihlava on a permanent deal on January 16, 2019.[5] On May 9, 2019, Honzík signed a contract with HC Litvínov.[6]
