The Swift Current Broncos announced on August 27 that 2006-born defenseman Adam Král has signed a WHL Scholarship and Development Agreement.
The 6’2’’ blueliner from Havlickuv Brod, Czechia was the Broncos first selection, 50th overall in the 2024 CHL Import Draft in May.
“We’re excited to add Adam to our back-end this season,” said Broncos General Manager Chad Leslie. “His combination of size, strength and mobility will be an asset to our group night in and night out.”
Král appeared in 50 games for Bílí Tygři Liberec in the Czech U20 league last season, scoring six times and adding 13 assists for 19 points.
In 25 games of international play with Czechia’s U18 team, Král recorded three assists while helping Czechia to a silver medal at the 2023 Hlinka Gretzky Cup.
Král arrived in Swift Current on Monday and will be on the ice at the InnovationPlex for training camp beginning Sunday.
