Notes: Czech forward playing for Kitchener of the OHL is the seventh-ranked North
American player by NHL Central Scouting...Had a terrific first season in North
America, leading all OHL rookies in goals (29), assists (37), points (66) and
plus-minus (plus-19) over 62 games...Saw his production dip during the
Rangers' playoff run, posting two goals and four assists over 13
games...Represented Team Czech Republic at the 2012 World Junior Championship
and recorded two goals over six games to help his country finish fifth in the
tournament...Has excellent size and scouts say he plays with a physical edge
to his game...Faksa's hockey idol growing up in the Czech Republic was
Jaromir Jagr. |
