Hrenak Heads North: Winnipeg Lands Force Goalie in Third Round

The Jets added depth to their goaltending pipeline by selecting Samuel Hrenak from the Force in the third round of the 2026 NHL Draft. Winnipeg's focus on developing young netminders suggests the organization is thinking long-term about succession planning in net. This pick could be a steal if Hrenak develops as scouts project, giving the Jets another prospect to monitor in their system.
