Red Wings prospect Adam Levac hopes to emulate NHL shift disturbers

Detroit Hockey Now’s Bob Duff posted a profile of Red Wings 2026 draft pick Adam Levac this morning, utilizing an interview that Levac gave to the OHL’s website as source material.

Levac, a center with the Peterborough Petes, stands at 6′ and 176 pounds, but Duff reports that Levac hopes to be a bit of a shift disturber:

He looks to pattern his game after a couple of NHLers who are thorns in the side of the Red Wings: Florida’s Matthew Tkachuk and Montreal’s Nick Suzuki.

“They kind of play great roles for their teams,” Levac said. “Two hundred-foot players and they play hard every shift.”

Levac plays that way, and he’s got a little bit of that Brad Marchand rat in him, too.

“I bring energy,” Levac said. “I play hard, and I work hard every time I’m on the ice. And I got a little playmaking ability.”

Those are the qualities that attracted the Red Wings to Levac.  

“They said they liked how hard I compete, how hard I work every shift,” Levac said.
