2026 WJC Team Czechia Hockey Roster
The Team Czechia World Juniors 2026 roster blends size, skill, and international experience as Czechia look to remain a consistent medal threat at the IIHF World Junior Championship. Featuring players developed across European professional leagues, the CHL, NCAA, and USHL, this roster reflects Czechia’s growing depth and adaptability on the global stage.
In goal, Czechia is backed by Matyas Marik, Ondrej Stebetak, and Michal Orsulak, a trio that combines composure, athleticism, and strong positional play. Their presence gives the team reliable options against high-tempo opponents throughout the tournament.
The defensive group is highlighted by physically imposing blue-liners such as Max Psenicka and Adam Jiricek, supported by mobile defenders including Jakub Fibigr, Matyas Man, and Vladimir Dravecky. This unit brings reach, puck-moving ability, and the physical edge required to compete against elite offensive teams.
Up front, Team Czechia features a versatile forward core with a mix of power, playmaking, and speed. Big-bodied forwards like Vaclav Nestrasil, Maxmilian Curran, and Adam Novotny provide net-front presence and board strength, while skilled attackers such as Adam Benak, Jiri Klima, and Petr Sikora add creativity and scoring touch. The forward group’s balance allows Czechia to roll lines and maintain pressure in all three zones.
With strong goaltending depth, a physical and structured defense, and a forward lineup capable of producing offense in multiple ways, the Czechia World Juniors 2026 roster is built to challenge top nations and push deep into the knockout rounds. As the tournament unfolds, Czechia once again enters as a dangerous opponent capable of upsetting any contender.
