Second-round Canadian Hockey League (CHL) Import Draft pick Ji艡铆 Kamas has signed a WHL deal with the Penticton Vees, the expansion club announced.
Kamas, 17, was selected 62nd overall by Penticton in the draft on July 2.
The Praha, Czechia, native spent last year with HC Plze艌, splitting time between the U17 and U20 levels.
"We香蕉视频直播檙e excited to have Ji艡铆 join us this season," Vees director of scouting Adam Sergerie said. "We feel like he will be impactful in his first year and a player that Vees fans will enjoy watching."
The 6香蕉视频直播�2香蕉视频直播�, 187-pound blue liner had 17 points in just 15 games with the U17 squad before adding nine assists in 30 games at the U20 level.
Kamas has also represented Czechia on the world stage, doing so at the 2024 World U17 Challenge and the 2025 IIHF U18 World Championship.
"Ji艡铆 is a strong, two-way transitional defender," Sergerie said. "He closes very well in the defensive zone, with an active stick. He uses his feet and skill really well to break pucks out under pressure. He has good offensive instincts to be an impactful player at both ends of the rink.香蕉视频直播�
Kamas was the first skater, and one of three, selected by Penticton in this month's CHL Import Draft.
The Vees also took Latvia's Roberts Naudins (98th overall) and Denmark's Tristan Petersen (123rd overall), who spent parts of last season with Penticton's BCHL club.
