An 18-year-old goaltender from Czechia has signed with Powell River Kings.
David Skacel is coming off an impressive season in the Czech U20 league, recording a 2.28 goals against average and .926 save percentage in 24 games. He finished with a record of 12-12-0.
“David’s athleticism extremely impresses us as a staff,” stated Kings head coach and general manager Stephan Seeger Jr. “He has a keen ability to stop second and third chances with significant swagger and flexibility. He is an absolute competitor and finds ways to win games for his club.
“He has some great experience having played for the U18 Czech national team and is going to be a warmly welcomed addition to the club.”
Skacel also brings a championship pedigree to Powell River as a previous winner of the Czech U20 (2023/2024) and U17 (2022/2023) leagues.
Kings training camp will commence on September 2 with exhibition games starting later that week.
