Team Czechia
David Spacek – While not as highly regarded as a lot of the other defenders in the Minnesota Wild’s stable, this late round pick had a fantastic season in the QMJHL with 50 points in 57 games, blossoming into their number one defender. Spacek will attempt to prove his worth and do the same in a higher level of competition.
The #mnwild selects D David Spacek with the No. 153 overall pick of the 2022 #NHLDraft. The 6-foot, 174-pound native of Columbus, Ohio, spent the 2021-22 season with Sherbrooke of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League (QMJHL) and tallied 50 points (12-38=50) in 57 games.

Team Slovakia
Servac Petrovsky – Perhaps projected to go higher than where the Wild grabbed him in the sixth round, Petrovsky had a very solid year in the OHL with 54 points in 65 games.
The two-way center is known for having a solid defensive aspect to his game and will look to improve upon his performance in the canceled tournament where he was unable to put up any points in his two games played (Slovakia was listed at three games but one was forfeit by the other team due to COVID), and his time on ice was cut from 14 minutes in the first game, to only nine minutes in the second.
The #mnwild draft Centermen Servac Petrovsky from the Owen Sound Attack from the OHL. He had 28 goals and 54 points in 65 GP in his most recent season. He loves to score goals. He's good at creating space & can score the dirty goals. He also sets up teammates w/ quick hands pic.twitter.com/ToUKXQmoUc
