Another week has passed, and it’s time for another LA Kings‘ weekly prospect update. This week saw the season’s end for some, and some were signed to entry-level contracts for others.
Despite all of that, and with many prospects’ seasons over, Vojtěch Čihař highlighted the weekly prospect update for the second straight week. In two games, Čihař recorded six points (3 G, 3 A) to help the Kelowna Rockets sweep the Kamloops Blazers.
CLAIMED HIS CROWN!
With 21 points in 12 games, @LAKings prospect and @Kelowna_Rockets forward Vojtech Cihar has been named the @SandmanHotels‘ #WHLRookieoftheMonth.

The 19-year-old second-round pick from the 2025 draft recorded a goal and three assists in Kelowna’s Game 3 victory and a pair of goals in Game 4 to complete the sweep. In 10 games, the forward recorded 10 points (6 G, 4 A) in the four-game series. He is tied for the lead in goals and tied for second in points in the WHL playoffs.
