While we already know what Canada and USA will send to the Olympics, it's now time for European hockey federations to reveal their representatives.

Czech Republic is amongst teams that aren't really touched by lack of NHL players for the PyeongChang hockey tournament. Although they won't have their leaders the depth of the countries European players makes them amongst favorites to win the whole tournament.

Highlights of the roster are former NHL players - Roman Cervenka and Martin Erat (also named the captain of Czech national team).

Their goaltending is a deep as it can get, three goalies that will be potential starters and their d-core has an outstanding depth at each side and a volume of playing styles that they will be able to tap into.

No doubt that they are a team that will contend for the gold medal, and should be considered a threat at this tournament.
