Kelowna Rockets Select a Pair of Czechs at Top of CHL Import Draft
- During Wednesday's CHL import draft, the Kelowna Rockets selected three players from Prague, Czech Republic, among them siblings Tomas and Frantisek Poletin.
- Bruce Hamilton, the Rockets' president and GM, explained that they made the picks mostly to prepare for the next year by adding key players up front and on defense.
- The Rockets chose Tomas with the first overall pick to fill a top-six forward role, and grabbed goaltender Poletin in the final round, who had a strong U18 record with a.924 save percentage.
- Hamilton explained that their intention from the start was to bring in a strong forward capable of contributing among the top six players, and he also identified Poletin as a talented young goalie with potential for the future.
- These acquisitions aim to support the Rockets' pursuit of the 2026 Memorial Cup, and the team finalized their coaching staff last week with Derrick Martin as head coach and Don Hay as associate coach.
