Three players to watch for Team Czechia at the 2022 WJC
Stanislav Svozil, D, Regina Pats (WHL): Mobile, puck-moving defender who needed time to transition to smaller ice and a less risk-taking approach to his game. Has put up 17 assists and 18 points for the Pats. (Columbus, 69th overall pick in 2021)
David Jiricek, D, HC Plzen (Extraliiga): Was named a top three player on this team one year ago. Excellent skater with offensive instincts. Shoots it a ton. (2022 NHL draft eligible, SN #8)
Jan Mysak, C, Hamilton Bulldogs (OHL): Energetic forward with subtle speed. Has excellent hands and good finish to his game. Highly effective in the faceoff circle, operating at over 58 per cent efficiency. (Montreal, 48th overall pick in 2020)
