Czech junior hockey team to face Latvia

The Czech Republic’s junior ice hockey team will conclude the group stage of the World Championship today with a match against Latvia. The game starts at 21:30 CET in Minneapolis.

Coach Patrik Augusta’s team has already secured a place in the playoffs. In Group B, the Czechs can finish no higher than second. Canada is out of reach, as although the teams could end level on points, the Czechs lost their head-to-head match 5–7.
