Team Czechia
Last year, Czechia were the thorn in the side of Team Canada once again, and after the 2026 NHL Draft, they could feature one of the Flames most intriguing prospects, goaltender Tobias Trejbal.
Contender - Tobias Trejbal
Throughout the pre-draft process, the Flames were linked with Trejbal, and not only did they get him, but the team moved up in the second-round to acquire the 6-foot-4 netminder. It's unclear as of right now what his timeline to turning professional will be, but last season in the USHL, he was utterly ridiculous, posting a 2.12 GAA and a .916 save percentage across 42 games played.
Trejbal will turn 19 ahead of the tournament, and while there's other solid goaltenders in Czechia, few have been as dominant as Trejbal, and right now, he appears to be a genuine contender. to play a role for Czechia at the tournament. Right now, he's shaping up as a key piece of the Flames future, and while the focus will be on the big name teams above, Trejbal could be one of the stars of the show in Edmonton.
