It's back and I'm excited!

Here is the Czech roster. I don't get familiar with Czechs till U18 but HF has a prospects section and a nice little fight broke out there on the Dominik Badinka thread (I think) and now I'm really excited to see Tomas Galvas! Roster looks good and I think we should be competitve.



Team Canada roster(2) were posted in a seperate thread.. shockingly, they look really strong!


Is Adam a common name in Czechia? There's 6 of them on the roster!

I don't know what's up with Galvas, he wasn't anywhere in the lineups this weekend.. I hope he'll be okay, this team needs him, though he'd be good without him. But it will definitely be better with him.

He's out Anti. Got hurt in Olomouc. They mention it in the video in the link around 2:30. Czechs can't have nice things!haha Zelensky too.

It is.. Adam, Petr, Tomas and a lot of Jakub's lately. Toss in a few Dominik's, Josefs, Jiri's and Martin's and there is our national team.haha

Thanks, I hate it.

So how many major tournaments in row have the Czechs lost a key player now? Literally lost the count at this point.

It is enfuriating. I've never seen him and was excited to see that D core with him on it.

This is really unreal. There is only one player that I wanted to see 100% (Benák is young and I don't expect much from him).. Yes, we still have a good team, even though Zielinski will be missing, but I hope he will be good anyway, but the Czech fan will get the traditional thanks to the absences one of the clearly best players through the mouth..

really like this Finnish age group regardless how they finish this tournament. Almost all the guys here are good draft prospects... only yet to see brilliance of Pulkkanen, Sinivuori, Välilä and Saarinen
