The 23-year-old Slovakian’s contract is for the 2024-25 season.
The undrafted Okuliar comes over to North America after spending the last two seasons with Mountfield HK of the Czech Extraliga. The Trencin, Slovakia native led the team in scoring this season, registering 24 goals and 45 points in 52 games. Okuliar helped Mountfield get to the league’s quarterfinals, falling to eventual finalist HC Dynamo Pardubice.
This will not be the first time Okuliar has played in North America. In 2018-19, he played for the Sherbrooke Phoenix of the Quebec Maritimes Hockey League, before joining the Western Hockey League’s Lethbridge Hurricanes the following season.
