Korczak was the No.41 overall pick in the 2019 NHL draft and the 20-year-old blueliner has two assists in 13 career AHL games to date.

Korczak was a second-round pick in this summer's entry-draft and has scored five goals with 23 assists (28 points) in 32 games on the Kelowna Rockets (WHL) blueline this year.
