I don't see this being a gold medal team but anything can happen with us hosting. Goaltending and defense are weak but hopefully the forwards can carry us pretty far.
Speak for yourself with this we (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RgYTcdXcCEo&list=RDRgYTcdXcCEo&t=7s) shit.

Are they related?
Both from Chicago suburbs.
Doesn't mean they're related.
Doing a quick scroll and it says Hank has two brothers, and his cousin is apparently Bâby. But I don't see any mention of him being related to Nick Kempf.
2-1 SWE after 2. SVK hanging in. Still have not found a decent way to watch. :'(

They look nothing alike, anyway. They each played on the same U15 team (Chicago Mission) but makes sense that follows from their common Chicago suburban birthplace.

Was also going to bring that up. Hank is a fire redhead; he and Nick don't look related at all. Theoretically, could be funky genetics at play. But I doubt they're related.
Speaking of brothers, Max Psenicka, Ondrej's brother, is playing for Czechia.

6'5 Dman putting up decent stats in the WHL. We need to get this kid. Not committed anywhere from what I can find.

Judging by this (amazing) article by Jane, Ondrej loved it here, their father pushes education, and it's not atypical for them to commit late. :)

Who knows? Maybe he'll move to the USHL and we'll pick him up.
BTW, he never visited. Sorry. Couldn't resist.

Another case of same last name, no discernible relation. We
just did this with the Kempfs.

They also have the same father's name, their fathers both played hockey, and they're both from Prague. So I made the connection.
But I just found an article that Ondrej has an older brother named Tomaš, and according to the Cornell webpage, Ondrej has only one brother. So I guess you're right and they're not related.
My bad.

Yeah, I checked Ondra as well as Max, couldn't see that THEY were related in any way.
Cole Hutson takes a puck to the head/neck. Stretchered off and taken to the hospital via ambulance.
Yeouch. (https://fxtwitter.com/spittinchiclets/status/2005074417609822642?t=RN30oPTeCCzGLemNV1KIyA&s=19)

Yeah, that was ugly.
Edit: They just announced during the break in the late game that Hutson was released from the hospital.
My god the US needs a goalie. Preparing to get humbled by Sweden.
CZE and SVK nearly pull the double. At a neutral site we probably do.
Czechs up 3-2 on Canada after 2 in the SF. Winner plays Sweden.
