Swift Current, SK - The Swift Current Broncos added two new faces to the organization during Tuesday's CHL Import Draft.
With the 50th pick the Broncos selected 2006-born defenseman Adam Král from Liberec Bili Tygri Jr. in Czechia.
Král, who stands 6'2" and weighs 181 lbs appeared in 25 games with the Czech National Team, including five games at the 2024 IIHF Men's U18 World Championship.
In 50 games with his Liberec club team, Král scored six times and added 13 assists for 19 points.
"Adam is a big body defender who skates well," said general manager Chad Leslie. "He has represented his country on the international stage and will be a guy that should fit into a top four pairing and log a lot of minutes for us."

With the 110th pick, the Broncos selected William Morin from Luleå HF J20 in Sweden.
Morin, skated in 41 games with his club in Sweden, registering 14 goals and 14 assists.
He also appeared in all six games for Sweden at the 2024 World Under-17 Hockey Challenge.
"William has a good frame, and has offensive upside," added Leslie. "His lack of physical strength is dictating for him at this point, and I feel there is a a lot of ceiling left in his game."
