Playing career

Škarek made his professional debut with his youth club, HC Dukla Jihlava, before making his Czech Extraliga debut on loan with HC Sparta Praha during the 2016–17 season as a 18-year old.

Returning to Dukla Jihlava after backstopping the club to promotion to the Czech Extraliga for the 2017–18 season, Škarek made 21 top flight appearances in posting a .913 save percentage.

In order to continue his development, he left Jihlava for a higher level of competition, joining the Lahti Pelicans of the Finnish Liiga for the 2018–19 season on 2 May 2018.[1]

Škarek's potential was noticed, selected in the third round, 72nd overall, by the New York Islanders in the 2018 NHL Entry Draft. On 6 July 2018, Škarek was signed to a three-year, entry-level contract with the Islanders, with the agreement to continue his contract with the Lahti Pelicans.[2]
