Winterhawks select Slovakian, Max Melicherik in the first round of the CHL Import Draft
Melicherik is a big forward at 6'2" and 190 pounds. Last season as a 15 year old playing in the Liiga U18 league he totaled 55 points (29 goals, 26 assists) in just 43 games. He also represented Slovakia at the U18 World Cup (the youngest player in the tournament), where he played in 10 games picking up 2 points, 1 goal and 1 assist on the way to a silver medal. Melicherik is a shoot-first forward and is a highly touted prospect. The biggest question is whether or not he will choose to be in Portland for his Junior career.
