First off he is 2029 Draft Eligible, not 2030. And yes, it's really early but he looks like he is on track to be one of the best players ever born out of Poland. He was very smart at that tournament putting himself into good positions to score - that being said, he needs to get out of the Polish development system asap, as I don't know how much he'll progress there as he is way too good for kids up to 4 years older than him. it's still early, but he is promising.

Is this one of those random top prospects from a weird nation? Scored 15 goals at the U12 WSI. Interesting.

This might become a great pick up. great job dude!

In all competitions this season : 65+39=104 (2.82 ppg)

He led the WSI U12 in goals and points.
And i believe he was the only player under 13 (being 11) at the Quebec international Pee Wee.
Finished second in PolandU16 league scoring (it was won by 15 year old)
- when i started checking out these players, most are either 15 or 16 year olds,
so he is is playing against 15 and 16 year olds at 11.... (though i checked like, only the top 15 scorers or something)

The last time a hockey player from Poland was selected in a draft was in 2009. I don’t think anyone will be accepted between 2023 and 2028.
Thus, exactly 20 years will pass before Polish fans see the name of their compatriot in the list of the chosen ones again.
Gif, gif.

Rather 2003. The last two are naturalized players. Although I usually count Wojtek Wolski as a Canadian-educated Pole.

His record at the Quebec Pee-Wee Tournament is impressive. Integrating the Czech U12 selection is too.

3rd PPG at U12 in a U16 league.

A name that adds to the emerging trend of diversification of European nationalities.

NHL which insists with Arizona, preseason games... If there was the malice to highlight the IIHF competitions and to press on the countries of Eastern and Northern Europe, there would be the possibility to conquer markets that no other North American private league could compete with.

George, what are similar players that performed at the same outcome in the previous years? Are there any top-end NHL players on the list?

Here is the list from e;ite [rospects which carries that stat.


It's really a mixed bag and that's to be expected so far out from the age they will be drafted at.

So what you’re saying is there’s a chance 2 elite Slovak prospects and Polish prospect are on the rise?

But in all seriousness I agree. So many factors will go into the development. Slafkovsky only had 9 pts in 6 games and went first overall. Hopefully all these guys keep growing, I feel like too many top prospects from non traditional ages end up falling behind in part because they end up being like 5 foot 6-7 and are not elite elite skaters on top of that.
