After upsetting the U.S. in the quarter-finals during the 2022 World Juniors and ultimately finishing fourth after losing to Sweden in the bronze medal game, Czechia will aim to win their first medal since 2005, when they took home bronze.

On paper, their preliminary 27-man roster looks very strong, with four cuts to be made before playing their first game on December 26th. Among the notable players on the roster are Columbus Blue Jackets 2022 first-round pick David Jiricek, projected 2023 top-ten pick Eduard Sale and Buffalo Sabres 2022 first-round pick Jiri Kulich.
Let's take a look at Czechia's preliminary roster.
