The annual Canadian Hockey League Import Draft was held Thursday morning with the Calgary Hitmen using two draft picks.
The team used the 37th overall selection on Czech forward Jonas Peterek and the 97th overall selection on Slovakian forward Samuel Krajc.
“Our goal heading into the draft was to add two forwards who have the ability to play the right side,” Hitmen GM Jeff Chynoweth said in a statement. “Both Jonas and Samuel have skated on the international stage and have the potential to provide scoring depth to our returning group of forwards.”
The pair join D Egor Zamula as imports on the club’s roster.
