OVERVIEW: Business cards of Czech hockey players who will play at the championship in Prague

GOALS

Luk Dostl, Anaheim Ducks (NHL)
He was able to make a breakthrough, he flew into it so fantastically. Right in June, he received the prize for the game of the month, pulling off beautiful moves. With the Ducks, he was very upset, with a 90 percent shooting ability, despite the fact that he conceded a goal in the game. Born in Brno, he charmed us in his youth and in his twenties he is one of the best Czech talents. At the bronze medal at the 2022 WC, he started in one knee, but then got injured. I especially like the fight for the number one position with my colleague Mrzko.

Petr Mrzek, Chicago Blackhawks (NHL)
He is returning to the national team after seven seasons, when, in addition to the ampiont in Pai, he also played at the World Cup. Do you remember how the energy among the juniors was burning years ago? He is calmer in the 20s, but under it he is lethal and excels in the lower half of the goal. In Chicago, he started his career again, in one of the worst teams in the world, he performed brilliantly. For a long time to come, he was so logically confused.

Karel Vejmelka, Arizona Coyotes (NHL)
After two championships, where he took the lead in duels and stopped the role of number one, he will now challenge the pair in front of him, who will provide me with valuable advice from recent years. In slab Arizona, this year, it has kept a stable strength with a step capacity of around ninety percent. With a huge 193-centimeter figure, his mobility and great speed amaze, and he is also strong on the tongue. And above all, relax. Will you be moving to Salt Lake City for five seasons?

DEFENDERS

Radko Gudas, Anaheim Ducks (NHL)
Don’t expect too much from him, his strengths are only fifth in reliable defensive work and tough in personal fights. In the NHL, pay for one of the most unpleasant soups, one hit after another. You can be sure that even this time he won’t go far for the morning. He has four career championships ahead of him, and his experience will come in handy. Join him in the role of one of the leaders of the cabin, in Anaheim he will help with the upbringing of the hockey stars of the future.

Jan Rutta, San Jose Sharks (NHL)
Kind of a backup to the defense from the NHL. A versatile right winger with a solid frame who could also help in the offensive. Due to the continued suffering of the weak San Jose at the front, he knew that he would be free for the home ampiont. On the ice, the dog regularly took twenty minutes for a rescue, he also went to dogfights, which he was not used to from previous games in the country (Chicago, Tampa, Pittsburgh). He should also get a lot of space in the national team.

David Paek, Iowa Wild (AHL)
He was one of those guys who just wanted to try out the friction. He should have made his international debut and passed the word of competition at the international level. But in the end, he gradually sang the moles, and got into the Finnish nomination. And totally deserved. He came up with a beautiful assist for the representative team, and in the second one against Slovakia, I failed. He showed up on the pesilovce, thanks to his hard work and offensive skill, he was able to take out this activity in Prague.

Michal Kempn, Sparta (ELH)
I don’t think I’ve had a brilliant season. In Spart, he dropped out of the first pesilovkov formation, he did not play in the playoffs. Despite this, he was basically able to collect a more than solid 31 points and put me on the map for the championship in Prague. Offensive raids are not enough from him this time, he should use his wealth of experience and belong to responsible games. ek ho u pt championship.

Jakub Krejk, Sparta (ELH)
Two regular representatives joined the national team after a two-year hiatus. Basically, he didn’t stand out in any way, but with great performances in the playoffs, he asked for a nomination. He was one of Sparta’s best players, he played with calmness and perspective on the ice, scoring six goals and four assists in eleven games. He has five championships, together with Roman Ervenka he played the only game from the current squad in 2015 in Prague.

Tom Kundrtek, Tinec (ELH)
He is preparing for the 5th World Championships, thus avoiding two Olympics and the World Games. In the championship Tinci again proved that he is one of the best defenders in the extra league, he became the most productive back in the playoffs, he collected blocks and hits in the big game. In addition to bravery and combativeness, you can also expect a constructive game up front from him, thanks to his good speed and high-quality control of the puck.

Libor Hjek, Pardubice (ELH)
At the end of the season, he gave up the persistent fight for a place on the NHL roster, left the Pittsburgh farm and moved to Pardubice. He only looked around for a while, finally managed to jump into twenty passes, in which he collected a decent nine points. It didn’t go well, though, because he drank in the eska. With Dynamo, he had to bow before the champion Tine, in the playoffs, Hjko did not do so well.

Jan Otka, Kometa Brno (ELH)
There was not much trouble with his honor, but the favorite of the previous representative team, Jalonen, fought his way to the nomination stage even under Rulko’s leadership. He got priority over you before Dominik Man and Jim Tichko. At home, I have the bronze from 2022, which is a kind of career championship. He was one of the mainstays of the Comets, adding a solid portion of 32 points (4+28) to the full defensive circle.

TONS

Dominik Kubalk, Ottawa Senators (NHL)
In the last six years, he missed the World Cup only once. And he never failed. He always played a total of 33 matches at the championships, collected 38 points in them and scored 20 goals! Only this time he has the tournament at its peak in a rather gloomy mood, he has had the worst season in the NHL in his career. He did not succeed in Ottawa, so in Prague he will be playing, among other things, a new contract in zmo.

Ondej Palt, New Jersey Devils (NHL)
One of the most striking figures of the national darkness. A two-time Stanley Cup winner with a reputation for playing at his best in the longest moments. He has not had a successful season, he recorded 33 points (11+20) in 71 games for New Jersey. He was decorated with aloofness, even when he was weakened, he climbed the hills. At the age of thirty, he is only preparing for the second world championship.

Roman ervenka, Rapperswil-Jona (NL/vc.)
The first link to the darkness, few people fall to the native darkness like he did first. if he is in the eleventh world championship, then join him in the role of captain. Once again, he had an offensive offensive performance, he would have fallen slightly in the last year in terms of points. But he had a great season, he should definitely be in shape for the championship. As one of the tonks, he remembers the last ampiont house.

Luk Sedlk, Pardubice (ELH)
The leader of the team of the strongest team in the extra league and an aspirant for the position of the first center, but even after losing the final, he was practically certain of the nomination. The complex forward with a brilliant game, productivity and tough style spent three seasons in the NHL, even participated in the Olympic Games in Beijing. He caught the eye in year two, when he scored three points at the WC, not adding to the list of unlucky injuries. Now it is certain from him again that he will be among the most visible characters.

Radan Lenc, HV71 (SHL/vd.)
On the Euro Hockey Tour, he got along great with Tomek, they deserved a few goals right away. In the first two rounds, however, there will most likely be no place for him on the podium, he will enter the games where they will fight for time among the twelve best tons. In vdskm HV71, he maintained a balance of almost a point to spare during the season.

Daniel Voenlek, Tinec (ELH)
VO₂ arena rushed to ride in April, when the house of Sparta suffered here. Evidently losing the play off again caused as. At the pedel ampiont in Riga, he pulled out a ton and the dog showed great physics, he was tired, he was not as unpleasant as in the home competition. Even the long-running dog in the playoffs says he has enough strength. Its universality is also a great advantage for the Rulko rod, it can be mounted anywhere in the flow.

David Tomek, Frjestad (SHL, vd.)
It may be a surprising and painful quarter-final against Rgle, but from an individual point of view he had an excellent season. He collected 45 points in the national league, he finished in second place in the productivity table, and with 25 goals he became the best gunner. He performed brilliantly even in the national team, in eight matches he flashed the same sweat gl. Productivity is rising from him even in Prague, he is at least fighting for his place in one of the elite formations.

Ondej Kae, Litvnov (ELH)
Last bird, the horse made it to the first bow in the senior native darkness. You can immediately enjoy such a top domestic event, quite possibly the biggest tournament of your career. In the extra league, he was clearly one of the most useful players, averaging just over a point per save. And he played eleven of them. When he wasn’t scoring at school, he was able to step into the defensive half as well. Hopefully, he will avoid the health problems that have been holding him back for the award.

Jakub Flek, Kometa Brno (ELH)
An untrained fighter in the fourth formation, which stands out for its admirable speed, agility and hard work. Rulko’s predecessors, Filip Pen and Kari Jalonen, joined him at the age of 11. Opt will do mischief on the ice and suffer from persistent attacks. But beware, he knows how to hide. He always had the best season in his career, he collected 45 points (19+26) in the Komety jersey.

Jchym Kondelk, esk Budjovice (ELH)
The great discovery of the last extra-league ronk, considering the height of his figure (201 centimeters), he is only a little visible. He made two appearances in the NCAA college tournament and the Nashville farm. In January, the return of a long-winded, but equally effective tank to the Czech Budjovices did not cause much delay, his actions did. In the regular season, he managed 37 points (11+26), in the playoffs he was decorated with a balance of points per save.

Pavel Kousal, Sparta (ELH)
One of the biggest nominees was a surprise, in Brno he got the lead in the only match, but he earned the invitation, for example, on the difference from his teammate from Sparta, Filip Chlapek. He was one of the most dangerous players in the club, he took care of productivity, and in the national team he excelled in his aggressiveness.

Ondej Bernek, Karlovy Vary (ELH)
Only a few people have had such experiences in recent years with the right match before the World Cup. He got into it for the second time in a row at the top event of the season. This time without the traditional Jiho ernoch parka. In Karlovy Vary, he did not fully fulfill the role of a mover (15+6), but coach Rulk praised him. The 28-year-old fighter doesn’t miss a single mistake, she doesn’t even have a push in front of the goal.

Michal Kovak, Jukurit (Liiga/Fin.)
It only got to one of the brothers. While Ondej is only thinking about the match in Czech Budjovice, Michal is going to Prague for the world championship. Rulk will use the field for hard work, because of his great movement and agility, he was one of the most productive players of the national team during the season.

Matj Strnsk, Davos (NL, vc.)
Great stele, strong on the wheel. Especially thanks to these attributes, he was nominated for Rulka. While he excelled offensively in the club, he reached the 1000 point mark in 51 games, and he often played only in the third and fourth formations in the national team. He will most likely get such a position on the home field as well, if he fits into the lineup.

David Kmpf, Toronto Maple Leafs (NHL)
The last finger for native darkness. On Saturday, the day before the final nomination, Jet started the seventh game of Toronto’s NHL series with Boston. He just dropped out with the Maple Leafs, join the national team on Thursday. He should take the position of this center and specialist for bullies and weakened, in which he is among the best and in the best.
