Colts sign import forward Elias Matousek

The Barrie Colts have signed forward Elias Matousek to an Ontario Hockey League Scholarship and Development Agreement. Matousek joins the Colts after being selected by Barrie in the second round (110th overall) of the 2026 CHL Import Draft.

Born June 5, 2009 in Plzeň, Czechia, the six-foot-two, 198-pound right winger enjoyed a breakout campaign this past season with HC Energie Karlovy Vary’s U17 squad in Czechia U17, piling up 38 goals and 29 assists for 67 points in 31 regular-season games before adding a goal and two assists in four playoff contests. Matousek also saw regular time up a level with Karlovy Vary’s U20 club in Czechia U20, contributing 3 goals and 4 assists for 7 points across 16 games as a 16-year-old skating against players up to four years his senior.

General Manager Marty Williamson said Matousek had been on Barrie’s radar for some time.

“He’s a guy we had targeted for a while and he fits our development path.”
