F Jakub Milanič Pilsen Wolves U15 Czechia DRAFT 2028

[czech]

https://www.eliteprospects.com/player/995303/jakub-milanic

Slovak forward, one of the leaders of 2010. Already has a height of more than 6'2". Will be 6'5" at the time of the draft.
Was the leader of the Czech Knights team at the International Cup (2010). In the Czech U15 league he is one of the leaders.
Of course, I am not hinting at anything, but he has already played one season in the Czech league - we are waiting for the second season. ;-)

Is there even a real upside to switch from Slovak to Czech?

Unless you are really good, not really.

I think Czech players play a few more games each season and against better opponents.
They also have a better coaching team (Someone could say that's debatable).

So there is some benefit in switching if you are really good, if not than it could backfire.

But currently players playing outside of Slovakia are not welcomed in the national team in the U15/U16 category. In the U17 category there are only 3 slots available.

If this stupid rule stays for the next season then Jakub Milanic (Or any other Slovak players) will most likely miss at least 10-40 games before they get invited to the national team.

Compare these 2009 players:
L. Kachlir - 40 games
M. Hartl - 12 games

O. Ozogany - 0 games

These international games are obviously very important.

Last season:

Czech U16 NT - played according EP 24 games
Slovak U16 NT - played according EP 10 games

If these stats are correct than the difference is quite big. Not only Slovak players play fewer games. Some of the best prospects don't get to play a single game.

SZLH director Miroslav Lazo argued in one of his interviews that he was only invited to the U18 and it was enough to have a great hockey career. So people shouldn't stress about youth national team invites/games.

I think that claim is ridiculous and the amount of games missed will have huge negative impact in the future.

Yesterday he scored his first two goals in the "dorost" league (players mostly born in 08, less often in 09). He will probably play in this league until the end of the season.

 

[czech]

Today hat-trick (+ 2 assists). One of the goals.

 

[czech]

6 goals in the last two games (today's goal). Is in first place in the league in terms of goals scored, ahead of Zelezny and Holy.

Honestly I never really ever know what to think of these threads with physically mature guys in not so great leagues until they get closer to 16 and 17 years old unless they are exceptional.

He was not invited to the U16 Slovak camp but his name is listed in the substitutes list.

I don't really get, how you don't invite this type of a player to a camp with 40+ players. I find it hard to believe there are 20+ better forwards than him?

And I should mention that the ban to players playing abroad is finally gone after last year disastrous season.

This season he Will play in Mladá Boleslav.
