The Czech Republic announces the first Calgary Flames player to take part in the WCH.
More rosters have been announced and we have some good news for Flames fans who will be watching - Michael Frolik has made the initial Czech Republic roster!
This is the first Calgary player that has been named to a World Cup Of Hockey team. And I think there will be more.
For now, here are the newest roster announcements.
Team Czech Republic:
F Michael Frolik, Calgary Flames
F Martin Hanzal, Arizona Coyotes
F Tomas Hertl, San Jose Sharks
F David Krejci, Boston Bruins
F Ondrej Palat, Tampa Bay Lightning
F David Pastrnak, Boston Bruins
F Tomas Plekanec, Montreal Canadiens
F Vladimir Sobotka, Avangard Omsk (KHL)
F Jakub Voracek, Philadelphia Flyers
With names like Pastrnak, Voracek, Frolik, and Hertl, other teams will have a hard time against a Team Czech Republic if their defense is lacking.
