On Monday, the Ontario Hockey League (OHL) Sudbury Wolves announced that Adam Nemec had committed to the team.
Nemec was the 96th overall selection in the 2024 CHL Import Draft.
Vice President & General Manager Rob Papineau shared his thoughts on Nemec joining the Sudbury Wolves.
“We are thrilled to add Adam to our hockey club,” Papineau said. “He was a player we highly valued in the 2024 CHL Import Draft and have had a great relationship with him and his advisor since our meeting that summer. Adam brings size and speed to our team and is a talented player who has played with men and has a solid international resume. He comes from a strong hockey family, and we welcome Adam and his family to the Sudbury Wolves and the OHL."
Nemec, a 6-foot-1, 180-pound forward, has played his last two seasons for HK Nitra in the Slovak Extraliga.
He is eligible for the 2026 NHL Draft, with pre-draft rankings placing him as a second or third-round candidate.
Nemec’s older brother, Simon, has been a key piece of the New Jersey Devils' lineup since being drafted second overall in the 2022 NHL Draft.
Nemec shared a message ahead of joining the Sudbury Wolves through a team press release.
“I’m super excited to join the Wolves family,” said Adam Nemec. “I can’t wait to meet my coaches and teammates and the fans of the team."
