Playing career
editGureň played as a youth within a professional club, PSG Berani Zlín of the Czech Extraliga. After his second professional season in the ELH in 1994–95, Gureň was selected by the Montreal Canadiens in the third round, 60th overall, of the 1995 NHL Entry Draft.
Having signed with the Canadiens, Gureň moved to North America before the 1996–97 season, playing with the Canadiens affiliate, the Fredericton Canadiens in the American Hockey League (AHL).
Gureň made his NHL debut with the Canadiens in the 1998–99 season, playing against the New York Rangers at the Molson Centre on October 10, 1998.[1] He appeared in 12 games registering 1 assist. Unable to secure a regular spot on Montreal's blueline, Gureň played the majority of his tenure in the AHL.
After five seasons in North America, Gureň opted to return to Europe, signing with Czech club, HC Oceláři Třinec, for the 2001–02 season. He played 6 seasons in the Russian Superleague with CSKA Moscow and HC Sibir Novosibirsk before returning to the Czech Republic to play out the majority of his career.
Gureň ended his professional career following the 2014–15 season in the Italian Serie A, however, opted to continue playing through to 2019 at the Czech Regional level with a local club, HC Uherské Brod.[2]
