The Czechs have always been strong. Now that the Slovaks and them are separated the Slovaks will have strong teams too.
I don't agree that it's boring. The German team is looking stronger and stronger, as are the Swiss. I would however like to see France get into the hockey thing, because we certainly mine a lot of great French-Canadian players here in Canada, you'd think the people of France would take that cue and jump on board. They're more a soccer(football) nation though, seems to be little interest in the fastest sport on ice so far.
