Best PPG for a Def U16 in Slovakia by far. From Poland. Without a dominant teammate next to him.


European hockey is diversifying. I see Lithuanians, Ukrainians, Hungarians very high in the statistics of the biggest European youth leagues

7 points in his last 2 games

Second in points overall as a defenceman. I haven't actually see him play but his stats are pretty good.

So he wants to join team Slovakia then? Could be a big draft year for Slovakia in 2025.
I also wonder this. Seems like Polish hockey fans on Twitter are considering him to be on the path for play for Slovaks and not Poland. I wonder if he would be eligible to play at the U18 WC, would be a nice partner for Radivojevic. Pretty impressive numbers. Cernak had 4 points in 8 games, just comparing big mobile dmen in their DY-1 in U20 league. Left shot too, with so many Slovak dmen being righties would be a capable player.

Is there video on this kid anywhere?
The game today was steamed on Slovak hockey site in meh quality. Zubek looked good I thought, good passer and skater. His aggressiveness is his best tool, he’s got an edge to him. I would say he’s probably of Strbak quality imo. Round 2-3ish from what I see now. He’s not a top top prospect but I like his game.

Polish U18 team I thought was very impressive, they have some serious talent. They were taking advantage of all the mistakes by Slovaks.

They also stream the game on Joj Sport website with a better quality. If you didn't know.

But they don't have any vod or archive you can only watch it live.

So they don’t keep stats but if I had to guess he played 25+ mins in game against Sweden.

First the positives:
-Thought he looked poised along the offensive zone blue line with the puck. Made the right decisions.
-Very good on PK
-Can protect the puck well

Negatives:
-It’s the skating, his stride in open ice isn’t bad, pretty average but his burst is just not very good. He struggles to turn away and accelerate from forecheckers which is so vital to NhL game.

I’ve so far really liked his play with the national team project. It’s a major shame, if he was even just an above average skater he would be a legit threat to go high. Probably around where Strbak went. Still let’s see how he progresses over the course of the year. May be a sleeper here.
