Playing career

After attending the Toronto Maple Leafs' pre-season training camp in 2009, he was assigned the Marlies, the Leafs' AHL affiliate, on 19 September 2009.[1]

On 20 June 2012, Mikuš left the Maple Leafs organization and signed with HC Lev Praha of the Kontinental Hockey League.[2]

After his second season in the KHL in 2013–14, Mikus initially signed a one-year extension to remain with Lev but was later released as a free agent as the club declared bankruptcy and withdrew from KHL participation. On 10 July 2014, Mikus opted to remain in Prague, signing a one-year deal with HC Sparta Praha of the Czech Extraliga.[3]

He played in four seasons with Sparta Praha, before leaving as a free agent and agreeing to a one-year contract with fellow ELH club, HC Kometa Brno, on May 8, 2018.[4]
