The 25-year-old has spent the last six seasons in North America, playing the last four seasons in the U.S. Student Championship (NCAA), representing the American International College team, which has scored 63 (23 + 40) scores in 135 games.
Before going to North America, Jaks represented the team of the hockey club “Rīga” in the Youth Hockey League (MHL) for two seasons.
The hockey player has represented the Latvian U-18, U-20 and adult national team at the World Championship.
A month ago, Latvian specialist Pēteris Skudra was appointed the head coach of “Dinamo”, but he will be assisted by the head coach of the Russian Youth Hockey League (MHL) team “Rīga” last season, Raimonds Vilkoits and his assistant Aleksandrs Nizhivijs.
Last season, “Dinamo” took the penultimate place in the Western Conference and in the entire league, not qualifying for the Gagarin Cup for the sixth year in a row.
KHL’s new season is scheduled to start on September 2. The first game of the new season “Dinamo” will be played on September 3 with a game against Nursultan “Baris”, entering a series of four home matches.
