The Prince Albert Raiders sign Belarussian import Uladzislau Shyla to a WHL Standard Player Agreement.

Shyla was the Raiders’ lone pick in the 2020 CHL Import Draft back in June, and was selected 45th overall.

The 5-foot-9, 147-pound forward from Minsk, Belarus scored 10 goals and 19 points in 55 games for the Under-18 Belarus team in the country’s Extraliga B league.

“We’re excited to have Uladzislau commit to our program, think Uladzislau a really smart player,” Raiders general manager Curtis Hunt said in a team-issued release. “He is a really smart player, a strong skater, plays a responsible 200-ft game. We’re excited to have him come to Prince Albert and start working with our group.”
