Today at All About the Jersey, we are delving into Czech defenseman Vojtech Budik, who pulled a Pavel Zacha and decided to play his draft eligible year in the Canadian juniors although he had played in his homeland previously. Let's check him out.
Perhaps looking to mimic the New Jersey Devils' first round choice last year in Pavel Zacha, Vojtech Budik is a defensemen born and raised in the Czech Republic system who came over to play a year in the Canadian juniors before entering the draft.
