Korczak, 17, is coming off a solid rookie campaign with the Rockets. The club’s first pick—11th overall—in the 2016 bantam draft scored three goals and added 13 assists in 67 regular season games in 2017-18, before adding four points in four playoffs games.
The 6-foot-3, 190-pound Yorkton, SK native was named the Rockets’ rookie of the year at the club’s annual awards ceremony in March.
Korczak has suited up for Canada before, playing for Canada Black at the World Under-17 Hockey Challenge last season.
