While the U.S. has had great success at the U18 level recently, that hasn’t translated to the Hlinka Gretzky Cup, where it last won in 2003 and lost the bronze medal game last year in Edmonton. Slovakia comes off a fifth-place finish in 2024 and faces an uphill climb in group play against the United States and Sweden.
