Neckarův čtyřiapadesátiletý otec František Neckář je také bývalým gólmanem a odchovancem Dukly Jihlava. Někdejší mládežnický reprezentant po působení ve Valenciennes, Lyonu, Mylhúzách, Dijonu a Belfortu získal v roce 1997 francouzské občanství a v letech 2015 až 2017 byl trenérem brankářů ve francouzské reprezentaci.
Kouč Francie Yorick Treille, bývalý útočník Sparty, Vítkovic a Chomutova, doplnil kádr o 19 jmen poté, co v polovině června vybral první šestici nominovaných. V ní nechyběli útočník Jordann Perret z Hradce Králové a obránce Yohann Auvitu, který v první polovině prosince skončil ve Vítkovicích a zamířil do Lince do mezinárodní rakouské ligy.
Spolu s nimi se do první vlny nominovaných hráčů vešli zadáci Jules Boscq z Hämeenlinny, Hugo Gallet z KalPy Kuopio a forvardi Pierre-Édouard Bellemare z Ajoie a jediný současný francouzský zástupce v NHL Alexandre Texier z Montrealu.
Vedle Perreta a Auvitua mají zkušenosti z české extraligy ještě další dva hráči. Osmatřicetiletý útočník Sacha Treille, mladší bratr hlavního kouče, hrál v letech 2010 až 2014 za Kladno a Spartu a v letech 2017 až 2019 za Pardubice. Forvard Justin Addamo strávil minulou sezonu v Třinci.
Nejvíce zkušeností z NHL má čtyřicetiletý Bellemare, který za Philadelphii, Vegas, Colorado, Tampu Bay a Seattle odehrál 700 zápasů v základní části a k dalším 85 utkáním nastoupil v play off. O čtyři roky mladší Stéphane Da Costa sehrál 57 duelů za Ottawu.
Šestadvacetiletý Texier, který bude oficiálně v nominaci jako zástupce z NHL potvrzen až v lednu, v této sezoně odehrál osm utkání za St. Louis a připsal si jednu asistenci. Po přesunu do Montrealu nasbíral v 15 duelech šest bodů za tři trefy a stejný počet přihrávek. Bývalý hráč Columbusu má v NHL celkem na kontě 255 zápasů v základní části a dalších 21 v play off.
Francouzi se pod pěti kruhy představí poprvé od roku 2002, kdy v Salt Lake City hráli kvalifikaci a skončili na posledním 14. místě. Letos sestoupili z elitní kategorie mistrovství světa, když na turnaji v Herningu a Stockholmu obsadili poslední 16. místo. O návrat budou usilovat v květnu na turnaji skupiny A divize I v polském Sosnovci.
Do olympijských her vstoupí Francouzi ve čtvrtek 12. února proti Švýcarsku a o tři dny později uzavřou vystoupení ve skupině A zápasem s Kanadou.

Week 17 NFL injury report: Updates on Lamar Jackson, Jordan Love, Josh Allen, more
We are in the thick of Week 17 in the NFL, with the Christmas Day slate already providing us with three matchups. Now, as we look towards the rest of these games on the docket, the playoff picture in the NFL is coming more into focus. Thursday's action officially ousted the Detroit Lions from playoff contention and, in the process, clinched a playoff berth for the Green Bay Packers. As for the rest of the slate, the Houston Texans can clinch a playoff berth with a win on Sunday, while various division titles could also be handed out in Week 17 if certain dominoes fall. While we'd simply like to just focus on the various playoff clinching scenarios throughout the league, injuries are going to play a central storyline to Week 17, as it does every week in the NFL. Below, we'll […]
‘Sometimes you need to adapt’: Why Amorim finally changed Man Utd formation
"Sometimes you need to adapt and there is no tactic in that moment," said Ruben Amorim after Manchester United's 1-0 win over Newcastle. He was responding after acknowledging that he had gone with a back six late in the game.His patched-up side were holding on with Patrick Dorgu and Diogo Dalot playing ahead of the full-backs in a six-man defence. Of course, the fact that Amorim had been playing a back four at all was a fascination and an indication that his team is evolving tactically. There was a time when he would not have countenanced such a thing but he feels a little more emboldened now, able to adjust from a position of relative strength having got United up to fifth - and potentially even higher before a difficult 2025 is through. The reason for that growing confidence owes […]
Rookie QBs Cam Ward, Tyler Shough face off in Titans-Saints

Mandatory Credit: Ken Blaze-Imagn Images The Tennessee Titans made quarterback Cam Ward the No. 1 overall pick in the NFL draft in April. Tyler Shough had to wait until the second round and the 40th overall pick before the New Orleans Saints made him the third quarterback drafted. In between, the New York Giants used the 25th pick to grab Jaxson Dart. The gap between the performances of Ward and Shough as rookies hasn't been nearly as big as the one at the draft. Come Sunday, they'll be closer than ever as they face off as professionals for the first time when the Saints visit the Titans in Nashville. Ward has been the […]
