Ilya Protas, a Washington Capitals prospect, is familiar with the organization through his brother Aliaksei, who recently excelled in the NHL. Drafted in 2024 by the Capitals, Ilya currently plays for the OHL's Windsor Spitfires, performing impressively in both regular and postseason. He dreams of winning the Stanley Cup with Aliaksei. The brothers, who were both drafted by the Capitals in the third round, have had rare opportunities to play together, as evidenced by their preseason game last year, highlighting their unique experience amidst a five-year age gap.
Playing with my brother is one of the big dreams. The most important thing is to win the Stanley Cup with him.
Both brothers joined the Capitals in a similar fashion, and both have made the organization look like geniuses with their performances this season.
Before this, we always trained separately because we have an age difference, and I used to have training camps with teams.
I think being able to share the ice with him in the NHL would be incredibly special for both of us.
