"Washington Capitals prospect Petr Sikora continues to be a massive thorn in the side of Canadian hockey fans. The 20-year-old centerman led the rest of Team Czechia to a third straight elimination of Team Canada at a World Juniors tournament on Sunday night, pushing the Czechs to the 2026 gold medal game. The 6-4 victory at St. Paul's Grand Casino Arena will see Czechia face Sweden in the tournament final on Monday."
"Sikora, the Czech captain, plays at all strengths for the team as their first-line center, and has also won 54.8 percent of his faceoffs. His 20:42 of average ice time per game ranks 15th at the tournament and first among all non-Danish forwards. After Sunday's win, the Karvina, Czechia native was named one of the nation's top three players at the tournament by his coaches. St. Louis Blues first-round pick Adam Jiricek and the undrafted Tomas Galvas joined Sikora."
