The nine forwards include Geier, alongside Zdeněk Hábl, David Palat, Zdeněk Krupička, Miroslav Novotny, Václav Hečko, Alex Ohar, Filip Veselý, Patrik Sedlacek, and Jan Frolik.

The Czech Republic placed sixth at the Pyeongchang 2018 Winter Paralympics, after finishing fifth at Vancouver 2010 and Sochi 2014.

They also finished fifth at last year's World Championship, which was also held in Ostrava.

The Para ice hockey competition at Beijing 2022 is due to be held from March 5 to 13 at the Beijing National Indoor Stadium, with eight teams divided into two groups of four.

The Czech Republic have been pitted against hosts China, Italy and Slovakia in Group B.
