Source-derived summary

Juraj Mikúš (born 22 February 1987) is a Slovak professional ice hockey centre who most recently played for HK Dukla Trenčín of the Slovak Extraliga. He was selected in the fourth round, 121st overall, by the Montreal Canadiens in the 2005 NHL entry draft.

Playing career

Mikúš was drafted by Kontinental Hockey League (KHL) club Spartak Moscow, 60th overall, in the 2009 KHL Junior Draft. Due to the team having more than the permitted number of foreign players, he signed for Dinamo Riga of the same league in 2010. After playing 22 games for Riga, Mikúš returned to Spartak Moscow after two over their overseas players - Martin Cibak and Jaroslav Obsut- had left, putting the side under the foreign player quota. He played 23 games for Moscow, as well as four in the playoffs before leaving after the 2010–11 season. Mikúš then signed for KHL side Lev Poprad, based in Slovakia, in August 2011.

He split the 2017–18 season between HC Slovan Bratislava and HC Litvínov in the Czech Extraliga. He scored a goal on his Extraliga debut for Litvínov in a 4–1 loss against HC Sparta Praha in January 2018. After the season, Mikúš opted to extend his tenure in the ELH, agreeing to a three-year optional contract with Litvínov on 18 May 2018.

Editorial summary

This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Juraj Mikúš (ice hockey, born 1987)” as slovak ice hockey player (born 1987). Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.

Editorial reviewA productive starting point for separating a subject’s documented career from later reputation and commemoration. The current lead gives the account dated anchors—1987, 2005, 2009, 2010—that can be checked directly. The linked authority record independently contributes the date 1987-02-22. The account is most persuasive where Juraj, Mikúš and hockey can be independently traced.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The subject matters to the people & ideas register because the source frames it as slovak ice hockey player (born 1987). Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.

Evidence profile

Chronology provides the most reliable spine for this subject; interpretation should follow only after identities and dates are secure. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jul 12, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q974530. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1987, 2005, 2009 and 2010.

Critical limits

Later biographies can compress uncertainty and repeat inherited reputations, so apparently settled claims may still require comparison. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Read biographical claims against dates, named institutions and the cited references. Distinguish a subject’s later reputation from evidence produced during their lifetime.
