The Wildcats had great success with Import players in the past 11 years. With players such as Martins Karsums, Martin Bartek, Alexei Tezikov, Patrick Thoresen, John Oduya, Dimitri Kalinin, Jan Horacek, Evgeny Artyukhin and many more, we realize that Import players play a major role in a Junior team’s success.
