Kingston, ON – The Kingston Frontenacs and General Manager Kory Cooper have announced that defenceman Adam Goljer has signed an OHL Scholarship and Development Agreement with the club and has officially committed to the Frontenacs.
Originally selected by the Frontenacs in the second round of the 2025 CHL Import Draft with the 117th overall selection, Goljer spent the 2025-26 season taking major leaps in his development. Goljer spent the season with his hometown HK Dukla Trenčín in Slovakia, collecting 4 goals, 7 assists and 11 points in 43 games playing against men.
Goljer featured internationally with Team Slovakia at the 2026 IIHF World Junior Hockey Championships as one of the youngest players in the tournament. He also captained Slovakia at both the Hlinka Gretzky Cup and the U18 Men´s World Championship, helping his team to win silver at the U18s as one of the backbones of the team. He was also named best defenceman of the tournament.
Goljer’s great season finished with him hearing his name called by the LA Kings in the second round, 49th overall in Buffalo, New York in June at the 2026 NHL Draft.
“Adam is a player we’ve believed in from the moment we selected him in the Import Draft last year,” said General Manager Kory Cooper. “He’s an elite competitor who plays the game the right way. His mobility, intelligence, and ability to impact all three zones make him an incredibly valuable player. Beyond his talent, Adam adds to our history of strong Slovakian ties and he fits exactly what we’re building here in Kingston. We’re thrilled to welcome him and his family to our organization and are excited to have him continue his development in black and gold.”
Goljer’s commitment adds another significant piece to a young and exciting Kingston roster. Known for his ability to log big minutes in every situation, he combines strong defensive habits with the confidence to move the puck efficiently and contribute offensively.
The addition of Goljer will round out the Frontenacs’ three import spots on the roster, where he’ll join his fellow countrymen Tomas Pobezal and Alex Misiak. Goljer is scheduled to report to Kingston after the conclusion of the Five Nations tournament in Espoo, Finland. The Slovak will wear number 8 for the black-and-gold.
