All those NHL players Czech's had... We just needed 1 team to beat them ;)
I know for sure though, that the hockey will be WAY more intense against Russia & defending WC Gold medalist Sweden.

Another team to unveil their final roster is Italy.

 

so let have a quick brief recap:

 

 

 

The coach Clayton Beddoes announced a full team of 25 players, 22+3 so the complete roster.

 

The main part of the team is formed from 11 players of the local Alps Hockey League.

 

The top star of the team will be probably the galtender Andreas Bernard who started the last season in :FIN when he was the #1 goaltender of ässät pori, but then finished the season with some good numbers in the german DEL team Adler Mannheim.

 

As it was a tradition in the past, we can find quite a lot of naturalized north americans in the final Italian roster.

 

5 Players of the team played last season in the EBEL league, 2 in the :SUI NLA.

 

The top scorer of the team should be obviously Giovanni Morini who scored 14 goals in last season for the :SUI HC Lugano. worth to mention is also Diego Kostner one of the legends of this team has played his 8th consecutive season in :SUI for Ambri Piotta

 

The oldest player of the team is the 37 years old Marco Rosa, who already played in the past in AHL, in :FIN or in :GER top leagues, but only now this naturalized canadian will experience his debut with the Italian National Team.

to be honest, in the past few years (and this season is no exception), the number of non-Italian born players has lowered down dramatically...

 

this team, in particular, only has 5 "imported" players (Trivellato, who was born in Italy, but has dual citizenship ITA and GER, where he lived most of his life; McMonagle, who's Italian by marriage; Miceli, Bardaro and Rosa, who are Canadian born, but have taken advantage of their Italian heritage)...

 

even Zanatta, despite his father being the Canadian born former Italian NT player Ivano, was born and raised here in Italy (and then went to SUI to play in a more competitive league)...

 

all the other guys, even those with names that might sound not Italian at 100% are instead a full Italian product (all of them coming from the Italian and German dual speaking region of South Tyrol)...

 

p.s. Hochkofler's given name is Peter, not Thomas ;)

 

p.p.s. about goal scoring ability, Bardaro is definitely the most talented sniper in this team...and also Lambacher is a more offensive oriented player than Morini (who's more a defensive forward than anything else, even if he's very quick on the skates and therefore he can score some goals on counter attacks)...

well, it's obvious, as he plays for a top tier club in a top tier league...;)

it's difficult to become famous abroad when you play in a small league with very few followers and no media attention...

    • Team Size Prediction for Winter Olympic Games 2026 Milano Cortina   Let's do this for a country that is not actually that good in winter sports as well as our Olympic Committee Declining lots of places.

    • North American rugby quotas ( and qualified automatically)    M: and W: and  
    • I remember Caroline Golubitsky. She competed with Vezzali for a while but not for long. Rita Konig, whom Vezzali defeated in the final of the Olympic Games in 2000, was more famous, as well as Sabine Bau and Anja Mueller. From what I remember, the Germans competed fiercely with us at some point, but they almost always lost.
    • Shemyakina won a bronze medal in 2014 Worlds and was one of our leader but leave the squad due to pregnancy (she has 2 daughters if I'm not mistaking, so she chose family instead of sport). And speaking of foil we have back in the day Sergiy Golubitskyi, who was Olympic silver medalist and won some medals in other competitions and coached his wife Caroline Golubitskyi - one of the German foil specialists. Even in women's foil we had medal in Women's foil at the European championship - it was Olha Leleiko, our current national coach. So no, we are pretty good fencing country, and depending on generations of our athletes some events are more "profitable" for us and some don't. 
    • Shemyakina that was a very strange story. She unexpectedly won the games but before and after she literally achieved nothing. After that success in 2012 she also completely disappeared. It's only in epee that such strange situations. That's why I've always preferred foil and sabre, because the top was more stable there, although that's changing now. The competition has grown a lot all over the world.
    • Sinner probably won't play in another edition of the Davis Cup. That shouldn't come as a surprise. Next season, Wimbledon and maybe Paris should be the goal.
    • No, our epee was good always, we have Shemyakina, who was Olympic Champion in 2012, Reizlin with bronze in 2020, medalists of Worlds like Kryvytska (who is our finisher today), Svichkar (who is our finisher in men's side) and Stankevych, European champion Kharkova, medals in other conpetitions from men's team epee who were one of the main contenders in Tokyo, but unfortunately failed to take a medal.
