It isn't. According to coaches several players are mising due to high school leaving exams taking place.
There were 4 players at the WJC in Canada who are also eligible for next year (D-men Cernak and Jaros, forwards Bondra and Sukel) and none of them is on the roster.
Neither is top 1997 born goalie Tomek nor the other 1997 born goalie Huska from the u18 team. Also for example Pospisil from the MHL isn't included.
To name just a few. I think this tourney is more to see the players who could play in the u20 team in Slovak Extraliga rather than preparation for the actual WJC (a lot of players who don't end up playing at the WJC play in the project).
Definitely not the best team, there are a lot of absences because of school duties and other things. I guess that the main purpose of this tournament for Slovakia is to try as many players as possible for Orange project.
Notable absences from the top of my head:
96 class - Christián Jaroš, Juraj Šiška, Kristián PospÚil, Matúš Sukeľ, Maximilián Pajpach, Adrián Sloboda, Ladislav RomančÃk, Juraj Milý, ...
97 class - Erik Černák, Matej Tomek, Adam Húska, Radovan Bondra, Mário Grman, Peter Valent, Marek Hecl, Andrej Vadovič, ...
edit: And we just lost 2:9 to Russia 1 team
Looks like you are correct on Solensky. I have been told that his advisor was not able to get him out of the contract with Liberec so he wont be coming to the USHL this year.
From what I've heard, he is good skater and puckmover with good vision and he is solid defensively. He has some flaws like taking
unnecessary penalties and sometimes he is selfish.

Patrik Hrehorcak is only on reserve list. A little bit surprise. But he is only 16, he can wait.

Huge problem is lack of puck-moving defensemen. Out of this list, only Juriga and Rajnoha (and sometimes Hedera) can move the puck. That's ridiculous, especially taking into account the omission of Žiak and Fehérváry.
I really don't understand why our philsophy (especially in defense) is to take as much tall immobile pylons as possible.
Solenský is interesting. That's pretty much all. I like Rajnoha, Ružička and Roman, too...

The great U20 Orange project, which supposedly keeps us in the top division, is going on.
Funny, the Swiss did not seem to have issues with that. Shots were 32:10 for them. That was (is) a matter of quality, not effort, unfortunately. To be fair, we missed some players and Swiss had their full roster, I think. Still, that was a shameful result.
We won against the Czech B team 3:2ot and lost to the Germans 5:3. Wonderful.
Swiss missed several very good players too, Timo Meier, Pius Sutter, Kevin Fiala, Simon Kindschi, Kay Schweri, Noah Rod.
Indeed, I forgot about them. That makes it even more sad. It will be a tough game against Belarus, I am afraid.
Hrehorčák with two goals in a 3:1 win against SUI. He should've been at Hlinka imho.

I have had a chance to watch all three of Slovakia's games thus far at the Ivan Hlinka. I think I have been most impressed by Milos Roman. He seems to be a gifted playmaker. He is 1+3 after three games. My favourite of the assists was when he outmuscled the defender behind the net and feathered a beautiful pass to Bucek who was standing in front of the net.
On defence not much to write home about.
I think Dusan Kmec is 2+1 after three games, and Martin Bodak seems like the workhorse.

Yep, Roman plays great and Buček also gets to a lot of scoring chances, but he needs more luck. I'm really excited about this Roman kid, hopefully he will get some chance with TřÃnec senior team.
Bodák is definitely our best D, Kmec has some great moments, but he also makes a lot of mistakes. And no comment on Zeleňák, very bad.

Slovakia had a total of 5 goals against the Swiss but lost the eight place game in a shootout. Hard to blame a goaltender, but the first goaltender Slovakia used in the shootout basically just stood and watched. Horrible. They replaced him but it was too late.
The first Slovak goal was set up by Villiam Cacho. He had two Swiss players on him but still managed somehow to backhand a pass to Adam Ruzicka who then drilled a shot into the net. The second Slovak goal was all Samuel Bucek, who forced the Swiss defender to cough up the puck and scored on a nice solo effort.
After a Martin Krempasky shot the puck was airborne, and swatted into the net by defenceman Vojtech Zelenak who earlier hit the goal post. The fourth Slovak goal was a terrible rebound given off by the Swiss goaltender after a Martin Bodak shot, easy goal for Jakub Lacka. Finally, a shot from the point by Martin Bodak resulted in a rebound to team captain Samuel Solensky who then scored Slovakia's 5th and final goal.

Hlinka Memorial is over sooo, who have a shot to make the WJC roster from this team? Bodák, Solenský, Buček and maybe Roman?
