The Czech national hockey team will strengthen itself with six players from overseas leagues ahead of the World Championship in Switzerland. Goaltender Jiří Patera, defenseman Filip Hronek and forwards Adam Klapka, Jaroslav Chmelař, Michal Kunc and Matyáš Melovský will appear at the upcoming Fortuna Hockey Games tournament in České Budějovice. This was announced by coach Radim Rulík after the Czech national team's 4:0 victory over Austria in a preparatory match. lidovky.cz ↗ idnes.cz ↗
Rulík decided to expand the national team roster with players from the NHL and AHL after completing preparatory matches against Germany and Austria with four lines. According to the coach, all players from overseas must prove that they deserve a place on the team. Filip Hronek, who plays in the NHL, decided not to start a long break and instead join the Czech national team's preparations. Adam Klapka must earn his nomination for the World Championship by competing during the tournament. Rulík is also keeping an eye on talents from the lower AHL league and is prepared to experiment with new names in the World Championship nomination. idnes.cz ↗ isport.cz ↗
