Adam Novotný Named OHL’s Cogeco Player of the Week

Vancouver Canucks prospect Adam Novotny of the Peterborough Petes is the Cogeco OHL Player of the Week, recording three goals, three assists and six points over three games.

Novotny returned from Canucks training camp to make an immediate impact in his season debut on Thursday, scoring twice and adding a pair of assists in a 7-4 win over the Sarnia Sting. He followed with a goal and an assist on Saturday as the Petes fell 6-3 at home to the Ottawa 67’s. All three of Novotny’s assists were primary, and his 18 shots on goal led all OHL players last week.

An 18-year-old from Kobylice, Czechia, Novotny was selected by Vancouver in the first round (24th overall) of the 2026 NHL Draft. He was originally Peterborough’s first-round pick (eighth overall) in the 2024 CHL Import Draft. Novotny won bronze with Czechia at the 2025 World Junior Championship and claimed silver in 2026.

The Petes are back in action on Thursday, October 1, when they host the Erie Otters. The game is presented by PETE 99.7 FM. Puck drop is scheduled for 7:05 p.m. at the Peterborough Memorial Centre.
