Slovakia: Slovak youth hockey thread (NT´s, home leagues, CHL, the draft etc.) part II

Is it just me or did Ondrej Molnar hit a huge growth spurt? I could of sworn he was listed at 5'1" last season, but now it lists him at 5'9", or maybe that was someone else idk.

Why not. He is 14. In that age you can feel, how you bones are growing and growing.

Yeah I know, but 8 inches in one year is quite alot

Okuliar will be playing in lethbridge next year. Does anyone know future for Oliver Turan?

 

[Outofbodyinhungary]

Jan lasak will play in the ushl this season.
Samuel Krajc is headed to camp in August with Calgary hitmen, very good chance he will play there this year. Personally, I thought Krajc was our second best forward at u18 tournament besides Chromiak. Krajc really passes the eye test, he plays better than his stats would suggest

After having watched the Hlinka games, looks bright for Slovak hockey. Finally a youth team that was on par with the big teams, great skating and grit.
Chromiak, Nemec S., Kaslik, Myklukha, Knazko stood out for me, but the rest of the team played hell of a team game as well.

Yeah and that was with one of our top 6 forwards in Krajc missing. Will be interesting to see 2002 age group players, if any our selected for u20 wjc team

Bright is too strong. They showed, they could play. Thats for sure. But after one tournament to say, that our hockey is rescued is too much.

 

[slovakiasnextone]

It was nice to see us perform well in all games against top teams three days in a row and hopefully the players will continue to develop.

I wouldn't say the future is extremely bright for Slovak hockey, but it is a little brighter than it was a few years ago. Not just because this one tournament, we have had a better depth in prospects and from what I hear 2004 class shows great promise.

Of course, it's still early and everything will depend on how the jump from junior to senior hockey will go for the players.

Filip mesar (2004) is playing with HK Poprad men’s team in exhibition match today

 

[Outofbodyinhungary]

So it looks like the Czech junior league is abandoning the u19 division split after 1 year. They are switching back to u20. What does this mean for Slovak prospects? Maxim mastic will play in Czech u20 league, and so will a few others.

The Slovak u18 team defeated Italy yesterday 5:0

Roman faith will play with Sport u18 in Finland next season

 

[slovakiasnextone]

The u16 defeated the Czechs 3:0 in the opening game of the Wolfgang Rud Cup. Goals from Sotek, Petrovsky and Nemec.

 

[slovakiasnextone]

The u16 team recorded a 4:3 win over the Salzburg team and secured themselves two games against Russia.

Goals from Sotek, Petrovsky 2x and Ruzek

 

[Outofbodyinhungary]

5-0 loss to Russia, but not really that surprising as Russia sent a strong team.

CHL updates:
Oliver Turan - Titan
Adrian valigura- Titan
Hlavaj - Sherbrooke pheonix
Krajc - Calgary hitmen
Okuliar - Lethbridge hurricanes
Cajkovic - Saint john
Fasko Rudas - Everett

Fasko Rudas should be getting a lot of ice time this season. Each year he has made big improvements, I hope he can put it together this season. Would be big for the WJC

+ Milos Roman in WHL and Oleksii Mykluha in QMJHL.

U18 league will have strong competition this year as there is many good teams that have solid players. U20 league looks like it could be a bit of a rollercoaster, I think it’s the weakest in the last 5 years.

 

[Outofbodyinhungary]

2004 borns Sotek and Mesar have had a nice start to the season 4 pts in 3 games for both. 2003 born Geci has struggled, 0 pts in first 3 games.

 

[Outofbodyinhungary]

Nice start for Molnar (2005) 8 pts in first 4 games in u18 league

 

[Outofbodyinhungary]

Antonio ozvald has had a nice start to the season in Slovan u18. He has 17 pts in 15 games as a dman, leading scorer on his team. The next dman scoring on his team only has 4 points! So he is clearly driving play. Btw is he romani background?

Stefancik has 20 pts in 12 games in j18 league in Sweden, even after his slow start
