The Oil Kings selected Holinka with the 14th overall pick in the 2024 CHL Import Draft.

Toronto Maple Leafs prospect Miroslav Holinka is heading to Edmonton.

The Edmonton Oil Kings announced on ‘X’ Wednesday that the club has signed the Czechia native to a WHL Scholarship and Development Agreement.

“The Oil Kings are proud to sign Miroslav Holinka,” said President and General Manager Kirt Hill in a statement. “Since the NHL Draft, Miroslav has continued to impress at Maple Leafs Development Camp and the Summer World Junior Showcase in Europe. We look forward to him joining our club in early September and adding his offensive abilities and instincts to our forward group.”

The Leafs drafted Holinka in the fifth round (151st overall) of the 2024 NHL Entry Draft. As noted by Hill, Holinka attended the Leafs’ development camp in early July, showcasing his goal-scoring abilities, scoring two goals for ‘Team Blue’.

Hayley Wickenheiser, the Maple Leafs’ assistant general manager of player development, called Holinka a “bright spot in camp” due to his “nice hands” and added, “You can really tell he’s played professional men’s hockey. Just his habits, his details of the game, some of the plays he makes.”
