The initial behavior of the party at the senior A team of the debuting Rulík indicated that it must be reckoned with. In the opening period, she crushed the Three Crowns with a four-goal thrashing. David Tomášek and Radan Lenec (both 1+1) shone in attack. Back Libor Zábranský grabbed two assists and Jakub Málek did not disappoint in goal (26 saves).
Hot shooter Petr Kodýtek
Which Czech fighters will anger the defensive ranks of Finland and Switzerland? Bet on a shooter at Tipsport. Ilves Tampere forward Petr Kodýtek could have extra motivation to perform against Suomi.

But as Thursday’s confrontation with the Swedes showed, the offensive of the team from the heart of Europe stands on many pillars. Mention of Tomášek, Lenc, then Lukáš Sedlák, Jakub Flek or Adam Kubík. Michal Řepík, Matěj Stránský and Daniel Voženílek are also in the squad. However, the native must also watch out for the back door. At the start of Karjala, the Finns wiped out the Swiss 4:0. Antti Suomela scored a hat trick.

Oksanen and Ambühl in action
Suomi’s roster commands respect. Three Olympic winners from Beijing and world champions (Niklas Friman from Ilves, Petteri Lindbohm from IFK Helsinki and Hannes Björninen from Örebro), but also a solid line of hockey players who have tried the NHL. Czech fans will certainly remember Ahti Oksanen (Oskarshamn), who played for Hradec Králové in the Tipsport Extra League in the 2021/22 season. And the nomination of Switzerland? The 40-year-old striker Andres Ambühl, the record holder of the national team from the country of the Helvetic Cross in the number of matches, points and assists, is not missing in it again.
