The next google result was a professor at the University of Montreal.

I'm guessing the scouts saw something they really liked, because it seems like Jiri was a little off the radar.

A nice Czech hockey writer offered some insight.

ok then. he could be a steal. I have not following him, but I saw the only one game WJC U18, when he replaced Skarek in net.(was it against Finland ?) He looked very good. But still it was only 40 minutes or so... He looked way better then in pre-tourney game against Russia imo If I remember it right way...
