Favorites: Notable contenders include world record champions and defending champions Canada, Sweden, USA, and the Czech Republic. Germany, who finished second last year, could be considered an underdog favorite.
Stars: Sensational Canadian player Connor Bedard, Swedish star Erik Karlsson (Pittsburgh), Czech goalie Petr Mrazek (Chicago Blackhawks), Philipp Grubauer (Seattle Kraken) from Germany, and J.J. Peterka (Buffalo Sabres) forward Nico Sturm (San Jose Sharks).
The German team has a positive outlook. NHL star Lukas Reichel (Chicago Blackhawks) is expected to arrive in Ostrava on Friday, but he won't play until Saturday against the USA. His fast reflexes and goal-scoring prowess may be significant during the tournament.
