Meet the Team: Czechia's 2024 U18 World Hockey Championship roster

Czechia enters this year's U18 World Hockey Championships hungry for a better result than they got last year in Switzerland, falling short to the Americans in the quarterfinals. 

They'll do so with a group that will closely resemble the one that won silver at the Hlinka Gretzky Cup last summer. It's a well-balanced group with a lot of offensive punch, quality on the blueline, and reliable goaltending. 

The Adams will once again be building pillars – Benák, Titlbach, and Jecho. They will be complemented by Maximillian Curran and Ondřej Kos to round out the top contributors upfront. Unfortunately, they won't be at full Adam capacity, as Adam Novotný is out for the tournament with a shoulder injury.

They'll be short an Adam on defence, too. Adam Jiříček, the biggest name out of Czechia this year
