Polášek went through the full training system of Vítkovice, and played the Czech junior leagues for the team, including the Junior Extraliga.[1]

He signed his first professional contract with the Vancouver Canucks on April 7, 2011.[2] Following the pre-season training camp, Polášek was assigned to start the 2011–12 season in the AHL with the Chicago Wolves[3]

During the final year of his contract within the Canucks organization, Polášek opted to terminate his contract with Vancouver on December 25, 2013.[4] He returned to his native Czech Republic and signed a contract with Sparta Praha of the Czech Extraliga on December 31, 2013. In 2016, Polášek signed with Sibir Novosibirsk of Kontinental Hockey League (KHL). On October 7, 2017, he joined Sochi of KHL.[5] Polášek played out the season with Sochi, posting 7 points in 34 games.

As a free agent, Polášek opted to continue in the KHL, agreeing to a one-year deal with HC Neftekhimik Nizhnekamsk on May 2, 2018.[6] In the 2018–19 season, Polášek contributed with a KHL career high 7 goals, adding 26 points in 58 games.

On 15 July 2019, Polášek returned to the Czech Republic as a free agent, returning to former club HC Sparta Praha on a one-year contract.[7]
