The 6-foot-7 netminder spent the 2025-26 with WHL Brandon, where he posted a 26-14-1 record, a 3.19 GAA and a .906 save percentage across 42 regular-season appearances. The towering 18-year-old backstop is raw as a prospect, but he'll have plenty of time to develop with Mountfield in Czechia this season.
