## Resource

Vashek Blanar, the Czech defenseman the Bruins drafted in 2025, is exploding onto the scene—showing major defensive growth, physical maturity, and international exposure. After thriving with HV71’s U20 team and soaking up lessons at the World Juniors, Blanar’s game has transformed under Boston’s development staff. Standing 6’5” and packing 183 pounds, he’s now committed to UMass for 2027-28, balancing NCAA eligibility while continuing his SHL journey. With raw talent and relentless work ethic, Blanar’s rise is just beginning.
