Prince George Cougars centre Matj Toman did not make the WHL playoffs as a rookie but he still has some hockey left to play.

The 18-year-old Czech native is among 19 forwards invited to the Czech Republic's selection camp roster for the World Under-18 Hockey Championship, April 18-28 in Ornskoldsvik and Umea, Sweden.

After being drafted fifth overall by the Cougars in the 2018 CHL import draft Toman played 66 WHL games and finished 10th in team scoring with nine goals and 11 assists for 20 points.

Toman represented his county at the 2018 Hlinka-Gretzky Cup last August and helped the Czechs win bronze at the 2017 World Under-17 Hockey Challenge in Dawson Creek and Fort St. John.
