🇨🇿 CZECHIA (CZE) Men’s Junior National Ice Hockey Team (1993-)
played as CZECHOSLOVAKIA (TCH), 1973-92, CZECH & SLOVAK REPUBLICS (CSR), 1993
45 wins, 23 reigns, 47 games with IHLC – ranked 6th
current IHLC title holders (since 07 February 2026)

Since the split of Czechoslovakia during the 1993 World Junior Championship, the Czechs have remained in the Top Division, winning back-to-back Gold in 2000 and 2001. While they would not medal again for nearly two decades, they continue to remain a consistent threat in the tournament, looking to recreate the turn of the millennium magic in the future.
