Good work by the U-18s. They are by far the strongest year group (apart from the A-team, even though I'm starting to have my doubts about them......)
U18 world championship is ahead of us and we know pretty well the group of players from Europe who could crack the final roster (there is plenty of rosters from previous tournaments in this thread, so that's it), but some guys playing overseas will likely be added too. Here are all of those who are eligible for the WC. As I said - all eligible, not those I think should be there or will be there.
David HonzÃk
Matěj Machovský
Milan Doudera
Marek Hrbas
David Musil
Richard Nedomlel
Petr Beránek
Martin Frk
Marek Kalus
Matěj Stránský
Personally I definitely want Machovský, Hrbas, Musil, Frk, and Stránský on the team. But it's clear that many of them won't be free to come. Not sure about the others, we'll see.
Wow, strong group of guys playing in NA. Musil, Frk, Hrbas, Honzik, Stansky, Machovsky and not to mention Jaskin. Looks like the Czech's could possibly medal with this roster. How does the rest of the team look depth wise? Who are some good players in the Czech Republic?
I expect Å idlÃk, Hertl, Hyka, JaÅ¡kin from Europe to be key players. Then maybe Faksa or Å vihálek? Probably Czechexpert could say better than me who else is worth mentioning here (especially on defense). Pavelka and Bartošák were ok in the net lately, so I think there will be only 1 NA goalie added (if able to come).
I have to agree with you guys, about the offence, when Frk and Jaskin will be there, it would be huge boost for our team, possibly Beranek can also help, but I cant see anybody else...
The defence, the only help for us would be Hrbas and Musil, Doudera was good last season, but this? I havent heart from him... By the stats he has played only 7 games this season in CHL...
And Nedomlel? Havent played the international at all... and acording some people who have seen him in overseas he wount be really help for us, possibly just in the speed of the game, but not the hockey sence...
I think that the def with Hrbas-Musil,Jenik-Kvapil,Pavelka-Sidlik would be the best what we can have...
And GK? For sure Honzik is the number one, Machovsky would be great to have him, but Pavelka and Bartosak, are so far so good just for the second/third place...
I've heard about some current injury of Doudera lately, but 7 games is still too few despite of that. It's sad how he buried himself there. I wonder why he didn't just come back. For example Butor came back when he failed in NA and at least he's playing. But maybe I'm wrong about him because lack of information.
By the newest informations what i have from his team-mate from last year in u17 he has an unspecified problems with his both shoulders... That would be the reason of 7 games only... that means he is out of the WC U18... but, is it really bad news for us?
I expect Å idlÃk, Hertl, Hyka, JaÅ¡kin from Europe to be key players. Then maybe Faksa or Å vihálek? Probably Czechexpert could say better than me who else is worth mentioning here (especially on defense). Pavelka and Bartošák were ok in the net lately, so I think there will be only 1 NA goalie added (if able to come).

Wow. We really really really suck Well done thought to this swiss for the win.
The preparation for U18 WJC works the same way as U20 one, so now the U18 coaching staff released "wider" nomination for the tournament. It's list of players they want to join the pre tournament camp and then choose the final roster from them. But it will also depend on health and state of CHL playoffs.

Many really bad players here. Several underage players should have been there.
IMO, underage players should have been in preliminary roster:Why don't you throw at us some names then (from both groups I mean)? I know majority of them just through their stats, so I don't know who's "really bad" here
