Fibigr continued his impressive development in 2025-26, splitting the season between Brampton and Windsor before helping the Spitfires reach the OHL postseason. He combined for 10 goals and 40 points in 56 regular-season games and added three goals and nine assists in 13 playoff contests. The 2024 seventh-round pick also represented Czechia at the World Junior Championship, serving as an alternate captain and winning a silver medal. Fibigr will take the next step in his development at Ohio State in 2026-27, where he will join the NCAA after three seasons in the OHL. He remains unsigned by Seattle, but the college route gives the Kraken additional time to retain his rights while he develops against older competition.

Weekly 2026 Draft Eligible Three Stars

The flashy skating of Tomas Galvas was incredibly impressive for Czechia at the 2026 World Junior Championship, finishing second in tournament scoring by a defenseman with nine points (three goals, seven assists). He ended the tournament as the third-highest player on his team in icetime, behind St. Louis Blue prospect Adam Jiricek and Seattle Kraken draft pick Jakub Fibigr.

Fibigr skated for the Brampton Steelheads as an OHL sophomore for the 2024-2025 season. He managed three goals and 30 assists for 33 points in 58 games. Not billed for his offensive output, Fibigr sat second in blueline scoring for a Steelheads squad that boasted Porter Martone and fellow Kraken prospect Carson Rehkopf. He has shown himself as a more than capable point-provider, but will likely feature as more of a middle-six, defensively capable rearguard for the Kraken. Regardless of where the offensive output at higher levels ends up, the Kraken made the most of their seventh-round draft pick in the 2024 draft. Due to turn 19 this summer, he will likely continue to gain experience in the OHL again this upcoming season before joining the Firebirds in the next few seasons.

The Seattle Kraken drafted Fibigr in the seventh round (202nd overall) in the 2024 NHL Entry Draft.

DRAFTPRO – 2024 7-ROUND CONTRIBUTOR MOCK DRAFT

125. Vancouver Canucks – Jakub Fibigr D Mississauga Steelheads (OHL)

SUMMARY: There aren’t many prospects worth getting excited about in the late stages of the fourth round, but that’s exactly what Jakub Fibigr is. He’s a two-way defenseman to the core. He’s not the flashy guy that will make end-to-end rushes or break guys’ ankles, but he will put the puck in the opponent’s net and he’ll keep it out of his own. Fibigr will have a long NHL career as a top-four defenseman. – Brogan Houston

DRAFTPRO – 2024 IIHF U18 WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP REVIEW – CZECHIA

#6 D Jakub Fibigr, Czechia, 6’0” 172 L. 22-07-2006

Fibigr was named an assistant captain for Czechia at the tournament. Jakub played on the top pairings for Czechia throughout the tournament averaging over 20 minutes of ice time a game. He was given responsibility as quarterbacking the second power play unit and a key member of Czechia’s penalty kill. Fibigr had rough starts to a couple hockey games. He struggled out of the gate in the contest against Canada. He fanned on a pass to his partner off the opening faceoff leading to a goal-against just a mere seconds into the hockey game. On his next shift, he failed to control a pass in his feet which eventually resulted in putting his team down two goals within two minutes of the game. As the game progressed he began to use his feet more. He uses good angles to keep players to the outside of the ice but struggles with proper body positioning when trying to take away space and disrupting possession. Fibigr is a puck-moving defenceman capable of making short distance passes but inconsistent with his long stretch breakout passes. He prefers to move the puck but can use his feet to elude trouble and find a passing option. Fibigr finished the tournament with one goal, his goal was a timely goal in the quarterfinal matchup against Slovakia to bring his team to within one in the third period.
