"The 20-year-old center is leading the WHL's Edmonton Oil Kings to a whole lot of wins on their top line and most recently, Holinka had a weekend to remember. On Saturday against the Red Deer Rebels, Holinka secured an assist earlier in the game but it was his emphatic overtime finish that seemed to come out of nowhere in a quasi desperation attempt that really got his weekend rolling."
"Against the Lethbridge Hurricanes on Sunday, Holinka picked up his first hat trick for the Oil Kings as he unleashed a total of eight shots on goal during that collision. A five-point weekend is nothing to sneeze at. Holinka now has already improved on last year's goal total with Edmonton with 20 goals and has 48 points in just 31 games, leading the Oil Kings in scoring."
Miroslav Holinka delivered a five-point weekend, including an overtime winner and his first hat trick, powering the Edmonton Oil Kings' offense. He assisted against the Red Deer Rebels and scored an overtime forehand-backhand rebound finish, then recorded three goals against the Lethbridge Hurricanes while firing eight shots on goal. Holinka has 20 goals and 48 points in 31 games, leading the Oil Kings with a 1.55 points-per-game average, ranking fifth among WHL skaters. The 2024 fifth-round pick signed an entry-level contract with the Toronto Maple Leafs and is expected to move to the AHL's Toronto Marlies next season.
