September 2024 – Mikus Vecvanags was drafted in the fifth round, 134th overall, by the Montreal Canadiens. At a reported 6-3, but only 159 pounds, Vecvanags has a long way to fill in his frame. Watching his play for team Latvia, it is clear that there is physical upside, but that he needs to fill out much more. Despite rumours he would be playing in the QMJHL, he will be the likely starter for Brooks of the BCHL this season. Goaltenders are unpredictable, and clearly the Canadiens saw something they liked in the Latvian. Aaron Itovitch
