Using the team isn't a good idea because they they've both played for a
number of teams.

You are sure they're different people, aren't you? :) How about using
the names of their teams: [[Petr Sykora (Anaheim player)]] and [[Petr
Sykora (Pardubice player)]] (I think)?

  We couldn't use "forward" and
"right wing" because a right wing is a
 type of forward. Also, they are both centers (another type of forward).

 Well, IMDB does it as [[Petr Sykora (I)]] and [[Petr Sykora (II))]];
 their
 FAQ says that there's no hard and fast rule how they order them, but
 they
 try to use one or more of: who is most famous, who came first
 chronologically, or who is searched for more often. But in this case,
 why
 not say [[Petr Sykora (NHL forward)]] and [[Petr Sykora (NHL right
 wing]]?
