Jakub Vanecek always wanted to be like his big brother, Jan- especially when he watched him take his first strides on the ice. "He started playing hockey before me," Vanecek explained. "Then I started when I was three years old, so I started because of him." Years later, the brothers got to live out a bit of a childhood dream as they suited up alongside each other with Bili Tygri Liberec in the Czech U20 league. Jakub had already garnered some buzz with a handful of national team appearances and a silver medal at the 2024 Youth Olympic Games. But with one goal and 15 assists across 52 games at the U20 and U17 level, he was a bit of an off-the-radar prospect entering his draft year. Maybe it was time for a change of scenery. Vanecek had been selected by the Tri-City Americans with the 25th overall pick in the first round of the 2025 CHL Import Draft, and less than three weeks later, he had committed to make the jump from Czechia to N
