Another Lethbridge Hurricanes player has been officially named to his country’s roster for the 2025 World Junior Hockey Championships.

Hurricanes defenceman Vojtech Port was officially named to Czechia’s team on Friday, December 20, 2024, ahead of their first pre-tournament game against Latvia.

Port was acquired by the Hurricanes in November in a trade with the Moose Jaw Warriors. In eight games with the team, he has chipped in two assists, while providing a steady presence in the defensive zone. The 19-year-old was drafted in the fifth round of the 2023 NHL Entry Draft by the Anaheim Ducks.
