Rangers prospect Adam Sykora highlights Slovakia's World Junior roster

Slovakia will head to Edmonton for the 2022 IIHF World Junior Hockey Championship without key players such as Juraj Slafkovsky, Simon Nemec and Filip Mesar. Despite that, the Slovaks will look to put up a fight in Group A with their opponents being Canada, Czechia, Finland and Latvia.

For the most part, Slovakia's roster is completed, but they will travel to Canada with three more cuts to make. The notable names on Slovakia's roster include New York Rangers 2022 second round pick Adam Sykora, projected 2023 top-ten pick Dalibor Dvorsky, Minnesota Wild prospect Servac Petrovsky and Vegas Golden Knights prospect Jakub Demek.
