Czechs come 4th in the Ivan Hlinka Memorial Tournament, with a 6-1 loss to Sweden in the bronze medal game. A good overall result considering the fact that we beat Russia and Finland. An overview of the tournament is given here, with a small section on Kvapil, Pavelka and Beran being excluded from the last two games owing to a discliplinary breach:

I was quite surprised when I read about those 3 guys sent home during the tournament. I guess it could affect concentration of the team during last 2 games a little bit... but I guess it's better if something like that happens now than during U18 WC.
