Canadiens prospect named captain for Czechia at 2022 World Juniors
Hours before their first game of the 2022 IIHF World Junior Hockey Championship in Edmonton (Alberta), Team Czechia has named its leadership group for the tournament.
Montreal Canadiens 2020 second round pick Jan Mysak will wear the 'C' for the Czechs, while Columbus Blue Jackets 2022 first round pick David Jiricek and Columbus Blue Jackets 2021 third round Stanislav Svozil have been named assistant captains.
All three players represented Czechia back in December before the tournament was cancelled due to COVID-19. Svozil had one goal in two games and Mysak also had one goal in two games. David Jiricek had one assist in one game, but left due to a knee injury that required surgery.
Czechia will open their 2022 World Junior schedule this afternoon at 2 p.m. ET/12 p.m. local against Slovakia.
