Career

Hromas was selected by the Chicago Blackhawks in the 4th round (123rd overall) of the 2004 NHL Entry Draft from HC Sparta Praha's youth setup after a productive 2003-04 season, scoring 10 goals and 10 assists in 21 games. He also made his debut for Sparta Praha's main roster during the 2003-04 season but failed to score any points in 13 games. Following his draft selection, Hromas moved to North America to play junior hockey for the Everett Silvertips of the Western Hockey League.[1] He stayed for two seasons before returning to Sparta Praha in 2006. In 2011, Hromas joined fellow Czech Extraliga team Piráti Chomutov.

In 2014, Hromas left the Czech Republic and moved to the Ligue Magnus in France, signing for Pingouins de Morzine-Avoriaz. He then moved to the United Kingdom to play in the Elite Ice Hockey League with the Edinburgh Capitals in the summer of 2016.[2]
