During the April preparatory matches with Latvia and Slovakia, Adam Jecho had the captain’s badge on his jersey, Adam Benák was his assistant, and in two matches (when he started) also Petr Sikora. However, the same role will remain only for the latter.
As in the previous season, including the silver Hlinka Gretzky Cup, the captain will be a defender
