It's a big day for Pavel Novak of the Minnesota Wild. The 20-year-old 5th round pick in 2020 has announced he has officially beaten cancer and is ready to return to hockey immediately.
Hello everyone,
After a few months of troubles, I'm happy to share with you that I beat the cancer. There is no better feeling than to be healthy again.🙏🏻
I would like to say thank you to all the doctors who helped me to get over this. You're my heroes.
The biggest thank you to my parents and sister who always supported me and went thru all treatment with me. It wouldn't work without you.❤️
Also thank you to everyone who was praying for me!
I'm really excited about what the future brings.

Novak, a native of the Czech Republic, has yet to play in the NHL. The forward had an excellent season in the Western Hockey League in 2021-22, scoring 29 goals and 72 points in 62 games with the Kelowna Rockets. Near the end of June, he announced he was stepping away from the game for a bit in order to fight his cancer diagnosis. Novak has never said what type of cancer he's been battling.
