Wheat Kings sign CHL Import Draft selection Dominik Petr

The Brandon Wheat Kings have signed forward Dominik Petr to a WHL Scholarship and Development Agreement, the Club announced Wednesday.

Petr, who hails from Czechia, was selected 18th-overall by Brandon in the 2023 CHL Import Draft.

“We view Dominik as a very solid two-way forward that can help us on both sides of the puck,” said Wheat Kings general manager Marty Murray. “He’s a 200-foot-player with a good frame that we felt has the tools to produce at the WHL level.”

Petr, who stands 6-foot-2 and 165 pounds, split last season between the U18 and U20 leagues in Finland. He posted nine points in eight games for Lukko’s U18 squad and suited up in 18 games at the U20 level, picking up a goal. He also potted four goals in seven playoff games for the U18 team.

Petr also already has extensive international experience representing his home country of Czechia, appearing in the past two IIHF U18 World Championships. He has also represented Czechia twice at the Hlinka Gretzky Cup, posting seven total points in nine games over his two appearances at the tournament.
