Career

Irgl was selected 197th overall by the Nashville Predators in round 6 of the 2000 National Hockey League Entry Draft. The Predators had received the pick from the Saint Louis Blues in a trade for Blair Atcheynum. The selection meant little for the Predators as Irgl has played his entire professional career in Europe, first in the Czechoslovakian Extraliga for The Human Context Vítkovice, in 2007-2010 for Lokomotiv Yaroslavl of the KHL. In 2010-2011 Irgl Zbyněk played for Atlant Moscow Oblast of the KHL.

Irgl played his first game for the national team in 2004, and has played 52 times for the Czechoslovakian national team (as of January 3, 2009).
