“I’m honoured to be committing to St. Lawrence University,” said Illia. “It’s exciting to get the opportunity to play in the OHL and the NCAA. I’m not thinking about the jump yet, as we have a big season ahead. That’s what I’m focused on. I can’t wait to get started back in Guelph with all the boys.
In April 2026, Illia represented Ukraine at the 2026 IIHF World Championship, where he notched 7 points (3 goals, 4 assists) in 5 games.
