Playing career

Čiliak made his Czech Extraliga debut playing for Kometa Brno during the 2012–13 Czech Extraliga season.[2]

In his second stint with Brno, Čiliak appeared in 6 seasons before leaving following the 2017–18 season, opting to sign a one-year contract in the Kontinental Hockey League (KHL) with Slovak club, HC Slovan Bratislava, on 30 May 2018.[3]
