The Regina Pats have signed Tomas Cermak to a WHL Scholarship and Development Agreement.

The Regina Pats have signed Tomas Cermak to a WHL Scholarship and Development Agreement. The 18-year-old was selected by the Pats in the third round (85th overall) of the 2026 CHL Import Draft. The 6-foot-3, 190-pound left-shot defenceman from Plzeň, Czechia spent the 2025-26 season in the Czech U20 league with BK Mladá Boleslav where he tallied five goals and 10 assists for 15 points in 48 games.

Cermark was ranked 82nd among European skaters by NHL Central Scouting ahead of the 2026 NHL Draft. “We’re very excited to get Tomas signed to a WHL Standard Player Education and Development Agreement,” said Regina Pats General Manager Dale Derkatch. “I’m really looking forward to seeing Tomas in a Pats sweater as we feel he has the tools to be a dependable two-way defenceman for our squad.”
