Anyone know Slovakian? Google Translate makes it seem like they haven't gotten ahold of Ruzicka or he's an alternate.
I know enough Czech to work out some of the Slovak.

He is not invited to the camp for the Summmer Challenge games versus Czechs, Germans and Swiss. There is an Adam Růžička listed in the substitute list however he is also listed as being a member of HC Slovan Bratislava. This is a team our Adam Růžička has had very little relationship with according to Elite Prospects. Elite Prospects has no other Slovakian Adam Růžička in their database though.

Of note is how few players (just 3) not playing in Slovakia have been invited. This is because one of the other main objectives of the camp and tournement is to chose who will play for the Orange U20 team. This is a team that plays in the Slovak Elite League every year and usually form the base of their World Junior team with foreign-based players added later.

This may be why but I don't have enough ability to figure out that level of nuance and Google Translate didn't make it any clearer.
