The team, which was skipped by Kryštof Chaloupek, finished with a 3–6 record again, in sixth place.[3] Jurík was the second again at the 2017 Winter Universiade, with Klíma skipping the team again.

After winning the Czech Men's Curling Championship in 2016,[5] Jurík's men's team represented the country at the 2016 European Curling Championships. The team, which was skipped by Karel Kubeška played in the "B" group, and finished pool play with a 6–1 record. The team then lost in the semifinals against Slovakia, but rebounded to win the bronze medal against Israel to finish 3rd in the B Division, and 13th overall.[6]
Jurík was the alternate on the Czech team, skipped by Klíma, at the 2022 European Curling Championships. The team finished the event with a 3–6 record, good enough to qualify the country for the 2023 World Men's Curling Championship.[7] Jurík played in two games at the 2022 Europeans. The team then went on to win the 2023 Czech Men's Curling Championship, qualifying the team to represent the Czech Republic at the 2023 World Championships.[8] There, Jurík was promoted to the lead position.
