Sedlak played in his native Czech Republic in the junior ranks of HC České Budějovice, before he was selected in the 2011 NHL Entry Draft by the Blue Jackets. Sedlak immediately embarked on transitioning to the North American game. joining the Chicoutimi Saguenéens of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League for the 2011–12 season, with whom he was drafted with their first selection in the CHL import draft.
