The teams have played 27 times in tournament history, with the USA winning 17 times. Czechia reached this year's semifinals by knocking off host Canada 4-3 in Thursday's quarterfinal. The USA routed Switzerland 7-2 with Boston College's Ryan Leonard and James Hagens each scoring twice.
Rivals Sweden and Finland will play in the other semifinal. The bronze- and gold-medal games are Sunday. Here's what to know about the semifinals at the world junior hockey championship:as ts fgh
