Not yet. Just like Calgary Flames prospect Adam Ruzicka, who will join the camp too
C Alex Geci - Regina Pats, WHL (2021 undrafted)
- Thread starter Jabs102501
- Start date
Geci on the Slovak U20 team roster for the Summer Challenge in Fussen, Germany. The Slovaks will play the Czech Republic, Denmark, and Germany from July 28-30.
I'm curious about him in this tournament.
Despite the fact that he didn't even play last season, he trained really hard and with the best coaches in Slovakia. At one time he also trained with the best Slovak players like Tatar, Fehervary, Ruzicka, etc. But I don't know what progress he made, we'll see in the match.
As a Hungarian... That is probably the funniest sports name I have ever seen. I suggest you look it up what it means in our language
Will be rooting for him to make it though!
Just found this kid on elite prospects and couldn't believe his name.
Been laughing for 30 minutes now.

Same, I’m wondering how he will play and where in line up he will fit. This tournament is big for him, maybe a couple Central European NHL scouts have eyes on this before HGC. Could also help boost his stock for wjc this winter

This kid is my favorite dark horse this year. 6'3 big bodied talented forward who coaches rave about yet totally off the radar because of the coof. Hope he gets drafted as he seems like the best mystery box for forwards this draft.

Would be awesome if he got drafted, I do believe there is some upside there for sure. Don’t think it will happen however. Maybe next year as an overager

Hope he can use it as motivation to have a great season in sarnia. Looking forward to him next week at the u20 tournament
Not sure what motivation there is for him since nobody would've drafted a prospect that played zero games. Some of the Canadians and Russians got some WJCU18 action, he got none. That doesn't mean he sucks though, I expect a lot of overagers to be drafted next year.
I don't think there will be a lot of overagers drafted next year since 2004 seems to be strong draft class.

His production is weak but that was pretty much expected. He’s just not that great of a skater to excel. Not saying he won’t be a productive player eventually but he hasn’t shown much improvement since I last saw him in the summer. He was playing only 4th line on Slovakia’s u20 team in summer tournament which was missing a considerable chunk of players. He probably won’t even get an invite to u20 camp for WJC.

Die Hard for Bedard 2023
I'd like to see him with Bedard and Howe. His size could really open up some ice for both.
Looks like someone on Regina took his number 20 and he is no longer listed on their roster. Any idea what happened to him?
At roster deadline time (Jan 10), he was released or left the team and the Pats traded for 18yo Logan Linklater from PA Raiders. He was playing junior-A to start the year. And honestly, after two games of him so far, most notably tonight's, he brings more to the table than Geci did.
Geci wasn't having enough of an impact to be taking a spot anymore. Seemed like a good kid and was trying out there, but he wasn't doing much. Wasn't hurting the team, but an 18yo import SHOULD be more impactful. Glad he got chance here for the Pats though. Could see some flashes of why he's probably had success in the past, but needed to put it more together here. I noticed he was decent at finding open space around the net, but either didn't receive a pass or plays got broken up before the puck got to him. He had some opportunities in the top six, but ended up in a bottom six role mostly when more players got healthy and other players were just doing more than him. Saw some PP time aswell.

I see. I didn't see anything official so thanks for clearing that up . Yeah some imports are hit or miss , Geci couldn't quite cut it in his CHL time it seems. I would suspect he goes to a lesser North American junior league below CHL or back to Europe now
