June 2025 – Mateiko had an alright D+1 season in the QMJHL with 41 poitns in 47 games, but in the QMJHL those are really low totals. He is more of a goal scorer though as he had 26 goals. It really was a nothing special season statistically in the Q though. It was his World Junior play that has put him on people’s radar as he had five goals in g-five games for Latvia. IF he can better his skating, especially to match his large 6-6 frame, then the Capitals can have something special. As of now Mateiko just looks like he would max out as a bottom-six winger who can pot goals. Pat Quinn
June 2024 – The Washington Capitals drafted Mateiko in the third round (90th overall) in the 2024 NHL Entry Draft. Mark Henry
