Pilot Mound Hockey Academy is proud to announce that Male U17 Prep forward, Adam Zamecnik, has officially committed to the Dryden Ice Dogs (SIJHL) for the 2025–26 season. Adam’s growth, consistency, and offensive impact throughout the 2025–26 campaign have made him a standout within the program and a deserving athlete of this next step in his hockey career.
Head Coach Rick McConnell spoke highly of Adam’s development and the maturity he has brought to the U17 Prep group. “Adam has been an impact player for our U17 Prep group this season, acting as the Captain. He brings speed, creativity, and a natural scoring touch that makes him dangerous every time he’s on the ice. What stands out most is his willingness to compete — he works hard in all three zones, battles for pucks, and consistently pushes himself to improve. His growth over the past 3 years has been tremendous. Adam has become more confident with the puck, more assertive in his playmaking, and more reliable in key moments. He’s a great teammate, highly coachable, and someone who represents our program with pride. The Dryden Ice Dogs are getting a player with a high ceiling, and I’m excited to see where his dedication takes him.”
During the 2025–26 CSSHL regular season, Adam appeared in 34 games and delivered a strong offensive performance, recording 22 goals and 17 assists for 39 points, along with 10 penalty minutes. His ability to generate scoring chances, play with pace, and contribute in key situations made him one of the most reliable forwards on the roster. Including exhibition and tournament play, Adam finished the season with 30 goals and 22 assists for 52 points in 50 total games, solidifying himself as one of PMHA’s top offensive threats.
Adam’s commitment to the Dryden Ice Dogs marks an exciting next chapter in his hockey journey. His blend of speed, skill, and competitiveness aligns well with the demands of junior hockey, and PMHA is proud to support him as he takes this next step. Congratulations, Adam — the entire Buffaloes community is behind you as you move on to the SIJHL and continue your development at the junior level.
