Attached is Team Czechia’s preliminary roster for the 2026 World Junior Championship. Seventeen of the twenty-six players compete in major junior hockey (10 in the WHL, 5 in the OHL, and 2 in the QMJHL). This includes projected 2026 first-round pick Adam Novotny (Peterborough Petes). Also, Adam Jiricek (STL), Adam Benak (MIN), and projected 2026 2nd/3rd rounder Vladimir Dravecky, all of top-ranked Brantford in the OHL, occupy roster spots.
Czechia is on a three-year medal streak, winning bronze the past two years and a silver in 2022.
