He's playing for Czechia at the world junior hockey final against host Canada in Halifax.
Robin Sapousek will get to experience the full length, and at least part of the breadth, of North America when he flies from the East Coast to the western portion of the continent to join the Victoria Royals on Friday night in Spokane, Washington, after playing for Czechia Thursday night in the world junior hockey final against host Canada in Halifax, N.S.
Sapousek began the world junior semifinal 2-1 overtime victory against Sweden on Wednesday as the 13th forward but ended up playing 11 minutes and seven seconds, which is more than any of the fourth-line Czech forwards, and that might speak volumes about the emerging 18-year-old. “It shows how dependable and responsible he is, especially as an 18-year-old on a Czech junior national side that likes to rely on 19-year-olds.”
Sapousek’s current appearance in the world juniors also continues a trajectory in international play. He appeared for Czechia in the 2022 world U-18 championship in Germany, where he competed against soon-to-be Royals teammates Brayden Schuurman and Kalem Parker in beating Canada in overtime in group play, and in the 2021 U-18 Hlinka-Gretzky Cup in Alberta, in which the Czechs placed fourth.
