Tomas Voracek was showing all the signs of being an impact defenceman for the Prince Albert Raiders in 2007-08 when he returned home to the Czech Republic because his mother was ill. Voracek, now 19, is with the Czech national junior team that will play in the World Junior Championship and the Raiders plan on checking him out. “I don’t know where it’s going to go, but we’re certainly going to chat with him to see if there’s some interest in him joining our team after the world juniors,” Bruno Campese, the Raiders’ GM and head coach, told John MacNeil of the Prince Albert Daily Herald. “But he’s playing over in (the Czech Republic) right now. He’s got a pro contract, so there’s lot of things (to consider). First of all, he’s got to want to come, and then you have to deal with him getting out of his contract, as well. He’s a guy that was with us, so we know what he can do, and there’s some comfort with that. But, in the same token, we feel it’s a little bit of a longshot, but it’s a longshot that we’re willing to take right now.” . . . Voracek’s mother died last week. . . . The Raiders have room for an import on their roster, as they dropped Swedish F Fredrik Cedergren last week.
