Moose Jaw Warrior defenceman Libor Zabransky has survived one more cut for the World Junior Championshp, starting later this week.

Zabransky and the Czech team won 4-2 over Slovakia at a pre-tournament game Sunday.

The Czechs made five cuts after that game, and Zabransky is one of the final eight defencemen on the squad.

The Czechs begin their tournament Boxing Day against Russia, and they'll take on Canada on New Year's Eve.

Zabransky is the lone member of the Warriors at the World Juniors. He has a goal and five assists for six points in 13 games with the Warriors this season.
