Alex Witherspoon — Tue, 14 Jul 2026 19:30:35 +0000

Kitchener, Ont. – The Kitchener Rangers announced today that the club has signed 2026 second-round CHL Import Draft selection (74th overall), defenceman Jiri Gombar, to an OHL Scholarship and Development Agreement. Gombár is a six-foot-one defenceman from Czechia who spent last season with the HC Energie Karlovy Vary at the U17 and U20 levels. In 22 games with the U17 team, Gombár produced an impressive 40 points (13G, 27A) along with 16 penalty minutes and a +38 plus/minus rating.

We are excited to welcome Jiri to the Rangers.” Gombár is the first Czech native to suit up for the Rangers since Eduard Šalé and Tomáš Hamara during the 2023-24 season. He joins a strong pipeline of Czech-born skaters to come through the Kitchener ranks like 2003 Memorial Cup champion, Petr Kanko, first-round NHL draft pick, Jakub Kindl, current NHL forward, Radek Faksa along with Šalé, Hamara, and others. "Signing with the Rangers is a huge honour and a dream come true," said Jiří Gombár. "I am incredibly excited for this new challenge and can't wait to play in front of the amazing fans in Kitchener." The Czech native has represented his host nation twice on the international stage at both the U17 and U18 level. In a combined 30 games of international play, Gombár has two goals and five assists. He is eligible for the 2028 NHL Draft.

TORONTO — The Ontario Hockey League (OHL) will send 31 prospects to Canada’s National Under-17 Development Camp, more than any other Canadian Hockey League (CHL) circuit, Hockey Canada announced Tuesday.

The OHL group headlines an 80-player field that also includes 29 players from the Western Hockey League (WHL) and 20 from the Quebec Maritimes Junior Hockey League (QMJHL). The camp runs July 17-21 at the Sixteen Mile Sports Complex in Oakville, with players split into four teams for two days of practice and six games from July 19-21.

The roster was selected by Program of Excellence (POE) general manager Alan Millar, POE head scout Byron Bonora and U17 assistant general manager Mike Johnston (Portland Winterhawks, WHL), with input from Hockey Canada’s regional scouting staff that includes Scott Grieve (Erie Otters) and Rob Simpson (London Knights). Following camp, players will continue to be evaluated through the start of the 2026-27 season before Canada Red and Canada White rosters are named ahead of the 2026 U17 World Challenge, set for Nov. 1-7, also in Oakville.

Announced last week, Team Red will be led by Director of Hockey Operations Dave Drinkill (Saginaw Spirit) and also features former Soo Greyhounds Assistant Coach Brendan Taylor along with Video Coach Ryan Lennon (Kingston Frontenacs) and Equipment Manager Brandon Grace (Sudbury Wolves). Team White will be overseen by Director of Hockey Operations Dylan Seca (Sarnia Sting) and features Head Coach Dylan Smoskowitz (Barrie Colts), Video Coach Alex Darling (Peterborough Petes) and Equipment Manager Justin Vanderlaan (Sarnia Sting). Guest Staff assisting with the execution of the U17 Development Camp include Guest Coaches Brad Flynn (Kitchener Rangers), Brayden Guy (Sarnia Sting), Goaltending Coach Nate McDonald (North Bay Battalion), Athletic Therapists Luca Paron (London Knights) and David Pandolfi (formerly Niagara IceDogs) along with a pair of OHL Alumni in Daniel Tkaczuk and Corey Locke as Skills Coaches.

Canada has won gold at the U17 World Challenge three years running. Last year in Truro, N.S., Canada White captured gold behind six OHL players, defeating a Canada Red squad that carried 11 OHL players by a 6-3 final.

We are very excited for him to earn this opportunity and wish him the best of luck in Nashville and Milwaukee.” A former OHL goaltender, DeKort played four seasons in the league from 2011 to 2015, including the 2013-14 season with the Kitchener Rangers.

I am extremely grateful for my time in Kitchener and the all the people who have helped support me over the last 5 years. The Rangers thank DeKort for his contributions to the organization and wish him continued success with the Predators.” In his five seasons with the Kitchener Rangers, Jordan left a positive impact on all of the goalies he worked with in the Rangers organization. Developing goaltenders to play and thrive at the next level like Pavel Cajan, Marco Costantini, Christian Kirsch, Jackson Parsons, and Jason Schaubel to name a few. “Jordan did an outstanding job working with me this season and played a huge role in my development as a goalie,” said San Jose Sharks prospect, Christian Kirsch. “He constantly challenged me in practice, paid attention to the small details in my game, and always found ways to help me improve. His coaching gave me more confidence, consistency, and better habits, which had a big impact on my performance throughout the season. I’m really grateful for all the time and effort he put into helping me become a better goalie.” Jackson Parsons, 2025 OHL and CHL Goalie of the Year also weighed in on his former goaltending coaches promotion to the big leagues: "I was thrilled to hear that Jordan was joining an NHL club," said Ottawa Senators prospect, Jackson Parsons. "Jordan was instrumental in my success in the OHL and a big part of my development. I couldn’t be happier for him and he will do great things with the Predators organization!" Chief Operating Officer and Governor, Joe Birch thanked Jordan for his tireless work and contributions to the organization: “On behalf of the Kitchener Rangers, congratulations to Jordan on his new role with the Nashville Predators and Milwaukee Admirals. This is a well-deserved opportunity and a reflection of his character, work ethic, and impact on our organization.

"Signing with Kitchener means the world to me. Getting drafted by the team and having them believe in me was an incredible feeling, and now being able to sign with the organization makes it even more special. It’s hard to put into words how grateful i am for this opportunity. My past season in GOHL with Waterloo was huge for my development. The staff were amazing and put a lot of trust in me allowing my game to make huge strides. Even just being around the Kitchener-Waterloo community and becoming familiar with the area was amazing seeing all the support that these fans give. Having the opportunity to be apart of such a great organization like Kitchener is huge especially coming off of a year like they just had with a memorial cup title. It’s big shoes to fill but I’m super excited to get to work and to see what’s in store."
