About Brad Lambert

Brad Lambert (born 19 December 2003) is a Finnish-Canadian professional ice hockey player who is a forward for the Winnipeg Jets of the National Hockey League. He was drafted 30th overall by the Jets in the 2022 NHL entry draft.

Playing career
On 13 December 2019, 15-year-old Lambert made his professional debut for HIFK of the SM-liiga, the top league in Finland. Following the season, in which he scored 38 points in 42 games with HIFK's U20 club and two points in four games with their senior club, Lambert exercised a contractual option to leave the organization.

On 8 May 2020, Lambert signed a two-year contract with Finnish club JYP Jyväskylä. He would score 15 points in 46 games in the 2020–21 season, leading all under-18 players.

Entering the 2021–22 season, Lambert was considered one of the top prospects for the upcoming 2022 NHL entry draft, ranked as high as second overall by some scouts. After a disastrous start to the season that saw him score only six points in 24 games, Lambert's contract was terminated by mutual agreement and he signed with his hometown club, the Lahti Pelicans. In Lahti, his production stalled even further, to just four points in 25 games. Following this tumultuous and disappointing season, he fell in the draft until he was selected by the Winnipeg Jets in the first round, 30th overall.
