    Red Wings Sign Ondrej Becher To Entry-Level Deal


    According to a team announcement, the Detroit Red Wings have signed one of their third-round picks from last year’s draft. The organization announced that forward Ondřej Becher has signed a three-year, entry-level contract and will be assigned to their AHL affiliate, the Grand Rapids Griffins.

    Detroit selected Becher with the 80th overall pick in the 2024 NHL Draft. He skated for the WHL’s Prince George Cougars in his draft year, scoring 32 goals and 96 points in 58 games.

    Becher also stole the show on the international stage, particularly in the 2023-24 World Junior Championships. He scored three goals and 10 points in seven games for Team Czechia, helping the country to its second straight top-three finish.

    His scoring has dropped this year in his brief stint with the AHL Griffins but it’s nothing the Red Wings’ brass appears concerned with. He’s scored one goal and three points in 16 games for Grand Rapids this season managing a -4 rating.

    The sudden lack of scoring is likely due to the competitiveness of the Griffins’ roster this season. The team is running away with the AHL’s Central Division and leaning on veteran players like Austin Watson and Joe Snively rather than the newer prospects in Detroit’s system.



    The Detroit Red Wings have announced the signing of Ondrej Becher to an entry-level deal, adding another promising young player to their roster. Becher, a talented forward from the Czech Republic, has shown great potential in his development and is poised to make an impact at the NHL level.

    With his combination of skill, speed, and hockey IQ, Becher is expected to be a key player for the Red Wings in the years to come. The team is excited to welcome him aboard and is looking forward to seeing him contribute to their success on the ice.

    Becher’s signing is a testament to the Red Wings’ commitment to building a strong, competitive team for the future. Fans can look forward to seeing him in action and following his progress as he takes the next step in his hockey career with Detroit. Welcome to the Red Wings, Ondrej Becher! #LGRW
