Michal Pivoňka (born January 28, 1966 in Kladno, Czechoslovakia) is a retired National Hockey League player. He played his entire NHL career with the Washington Capitals. Selected by the Capitals in the 1984 NHL Entry Draft, Pivonka defected to the United States during the summer of 1986. Since Eastern Europe was still behind the Iron Curtain, it was still difficult for younger hockey players from the Eastern Bloc to play in the NHL. Pivonka retired after several injury filled seasons.

  • Michal Pivoňka (born January 28, 1966 in Kladno, Czechoslovakia) is a retired National Hockey League player. He played his entire NHL career with the Washington Capitals. Selected by the Capitals in the 1984 NHL Entry Draft, Pivonka defected to the United States during the summer of 1986.

During his NHL career, Pivonka played in 825 games, scored 181 goals and had 418 assists for a total of 599 points, twice leading the Capitals in scoring; 1991–92 (23G, 57A, 80P) and 1995–96 (16G, 65A, 81P). Pivonka retired after several injury filled seasons.
