2019 fourth-round pick Jachym Kondelik signed an entry-level deal with the Nashville Predators on Monday. Kondelik just finished up four seasons with UCONN’s men’s hockey team. As the Huskies’ captain, Kondelik led his team to their first-ever Hockey East tournament.
Nashville drafted Kondelik 111th overall in 2019, and the 6’6” forward has been the focus on OTF’s very own Eric Dunay. Earlier this month, Eric spoke with Kondelik about his experience at UCONN, the strengths of his game, and areas of improvement.
Per the Predators’ press release, Kondelik won over 51% of his faceoffs this season.
