Another week has passed, and it\u2019s time for another LA Kings<\/a>\u2018 weekly prospect update<\/a>. This week\u2019s update was highlighted by the organization\u2019s second-round draft pick from this past summer, Vojt\u011bch \u010ciha\u0159<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u010ciha\u0159, 18, recorded five points in three games for the Kelowna Rockets (WHL). Although he went scoreless in the first game of the week against the Victoria Royals, \u010ciha\u0159 posted a two-assist night on Friday against the Kamloops Blazers and followed that up with his first WHL hat trick against the same opponent.<\/p>\n

The 18-year-old forward has quickly climbed the ranks in the Kings\u2019 prospect pool after his performance at the World Juniors two months ago. The speedy forward, known for his two-way play and energy, has 30 points (11 G, 19 A) in 29 games with Kelowna. He is projected as a middle-six forward.<\/p>\n

With Kelowna hosting the Memorial Cup this season, \u010ciha\u0159 will get valuable playoff experience as the team looks to go on a deep playoff run, capturing both the WHL championship and Memorial Cup.<\/p>\n
