Bobby’s blog, Holik on Shooting, keeps us current with his schedule of appearances and shooting activities. He also shares his insights on CZ and Dan Wesson firearms as well as his unique perspective on conservation and gun ownership.
A legend on the ice, Bobby is amongst the most successful hockey players of the Czech origin. He was drafted by the Hartford Whalers in 1989 and after two seasons he was traded to the New Jersey Devils where he played for ten seasons and won two Stanley Cups with his team in 1995 and 2000. In the 2002-03 season he went to the New York Rangers as a free agent and in 2005 he signed with the Atlanta Thrashers. He became a captain of the team for 2007-08 season. In 2008 he signed one year contract with the New Jersey Devils and on May 23, 2009 he announced his retirement from NHL after 18 successful seasons and at the age of 38. In his 1,314 career NHL games, Holik scored 747 points (326 goals, 421 assists) and became one of the most productive Czech-born players in the NHL.
His career in professional hockey was without doubt influenced by his father (also a hockey world champion both as a player and coach), but Bobby’s current passion for the outdoors is influenced more by his grandfather who was an avid hunter.
Like his grandfather, Bobby treasures our outdoor heritage. At home on his ranch in Wyoming, Bobby understands first-hand our responsibility as custodians of the land and its wildlife.
