WJC: 2026 Czech World Junior team

[Czechboy]

We have 9 guys returning next year. Not one one of them sucks. In fact, the 3 D that got the most minutes in the semi-final (Jiricek, Fibigr and Galvas) are all back.

Toss in Benak.
Toss in Mrtka.

There is a Top 6 and a Top 4 D with a starting goalie in Milota (Strebatak as the backup)

Curran would be another I'd love to see on here. In the USHL, Benak is going to the all star game with Nestrasil. Might be time to give him a look. Pekar, Titlbach in the Petr/Zidlicky role. Katolicky time? Who am I missing? Who am I way off on?

It's a damn good start! I think that will be our strongest team in the 2000s if it all works out.

Someone help me out with a third goaltender?

I think that's another medal contender.

I think you're pretty close with that lineup. But I would probably change two players from the attack. I've always liked Pavlík and I hope that Pekař will play in a little better form next year. I would change those two players for Titlbach and Kubiesa

Stancl did quite well for himself to be honest. Higher goals per game than Kulich.

I think we are all seeing similar lineups.

I think we are all seeing similar lineups.

Probably not everyone

I see Katolicky in the lineup instead of Kubiesa or Heš. But otherwise it's a very similar lineup.
