Jaroslav Modry

Jaroslav Modry is a Czech defenseman on the Philadelphia Flyers.

Modry was drafted by the New Jersey Devils in 1990 after playing in his home town of Ceske Budejovice in the Czech league. He saw limited playing time in New Jersey before he was traded to Ottawa. In 1996, he was traded to Los Angeles, where he developed into a top-level defenseman. In 2001-02, Modry had 38 assists and 42 points, earning him his first trip to the NHL All-Star Game. He was signed by Atlanta after the lockout, and was traded to Dallas for the 2006-07 season. At the deadline, he was sent back to Los Angeles.

At the 2008 trade deadline, with Los Angeles well out of the playoff hunt, he was traded to Philadelphia for a 3rd round draft pick.
