- Recent draft pick of the Detroit Red Wings, Michal Pradel , will remain with the USHL’s Tri-City Storm for another year rather than join the WHL’s Regina Pats. According to a report from Kevin Allen of DET Hockey Now , Pradel will stay with the Storm so that he can play under the tutelage of former Red Wings Assistant Coach John Torchetti , who was named Tri-City’s new head coach this offseason. Although he spent much of the year in his native Slovakia, Pradel appeared in 14 games for the Storm last season, securing a 9-4-0 record with a .899 SV% and 2.41 GAA.
