The IIHF’s YouTube channel posted a short clip hyping Red Wings prospect goaltender Michal Pradel’s goalkeeping for Slovakia during this past season’s Under-18 World Championship:
The Red Wings drafted the 6’5,” 198-pound Pradel 75th overall this past June after a strong season split between the Slovak national team and the USHL’s Tri-City Storm.
This past summer it was pretty difficult to determine where Pradel would play as the WHL’s Regina Pats drafted him in the CHL Import Draft, but Detroit Hockey Now’s Kevin Allen reported that Pradel’s going to play for Tri-City as the 18-year-old eyes earning an NCAA Division 1 school scholarship this upcoming season.
