KEARNEY, Neb — The Tri-City Storm has announced the addition of forward Adam Obusek, a native of Slovakia, to their roster. Obusek, ranked 125th among international skaters in NHL Central Scouting’s midterm rankings for the 2026 NHL Draft, brings a wealth of experience from his time with Slovakia’s under-18 national team and HK Dukla Trencin U20.
Born in February 2008, Obusek has demonstrated his skills on the ice, scoring five goals and six assists in 36 games this season with Slovakia’s under-18 team. He also contributed three goals and one assist in seven games with HK Dukla Trencin U20. Last August, Obusek competed with Team Slovakia at the 2025-2026 Hlinka Gretzky Cup.
Keith Morris, Tri-City Storm General Manager of Hockey Operations, expressed enthusiasm about the new addition, stating, “Adam is a highly regarded, up-and-coming centerman. We feel he’s a nice addition to our team as we come down the stretch. This addition is also valuable because it makes our team younger.”
Ivan Fenes, Tri-City Storm Assistant Coach, praised Obusek’s work ethic and international experience, saying, “Adam is a hard-working centerman with a very high work ethic. He brings valuable international experience to the Storm after spending time with Slovakia’s National Development Program. Adam is a great kid and knows how to play structured hockey. He will become a huge part of our team.”
Standing at 6 feet 1 inch and weighing 183 pounds, Obusek is expected to make a significant impact as the Storm looks to strengthen its lineup.
