Czech Republic has been a power house in past Olympic Games
but since the retiring of Dominik Hasek, they have not. That being said, the
Czech Republic will still create a solid team with a combination of veterans
and underrated players. The defensive core won’t be that strong but they do
have a solid group that has the ability to play at the International Level. The
Czechs forwards are highly underrated but the main concern with the Czechs is
their starting goalies. The major question with the Czech Republic is that do they have enough to beat teams like USA, Canada, Sweden and Russia. I feel with the roster they have, the Czech Republic Olympic Team has the ability to surprises a few of those teams.
