Led by Adam Jiricek (STL), who will be attending his third World Junior Championship, as well as Radim Mrtka (BUF), the Czech defense will have a few really strong pieces at the top of their lineup. Jiricek is looking to be a four-time medallist at this tournament and improve on the bronze from the past two years after an injury took him out of the tournament the year they won silver.
