The Canadian coach Bob Hartley announced yesterday the final roster for the World Champs.

 

He decided to take with him 28 players, so 3 of them will travel to Slovakia but will certainly not play in the preliminary round (where he can submit and registrate 25 players max. 3+22).

 

As always team Latvia´s axis will be formed by the KHL long years representative and nations most famous club Dinamo Riga players, this time we can find 9 players in the team.

 

Hartley received positive answers from 2 of their NHLers and Latvia will be reinforced in Slovakia by two forwards Rudolfs Balcers (Ottawa Senators) and Teodors Blugers (Pittsburgh Penguins), from North American ice arrived also two young talents of the Latvian hockey, the goalie Gustavs Davis Grigals of the Alaska University and the defencer Janis Jaks playing also the NCAA.

 

The goal of the team is the Quarterfinals (they achieved it last year) and the man who is supposed to lead them fot that is the 30 years old experienced captain the Spartak Moscow forward Kaspars Daugavinš (he is right now facing some minor injuries, he didn´t play the last 2 preparation games in Switzerland, but according to the news, he should be fit for the WCh. The same for Edgars Kulda from Zlín who actually also didn´t take part in these matches for injury, but will be apparently ok for the tournament).

 

The Goaltending #1 should and will be Kristers Gudlevskis (who in the past played some matches in NHL for Tampa Bay but spend the majority of his career in AHL before returning back home to Dinamo Riga).

We can find in the team also a couple of notable names like Oskars Cibulskis, Ralfs Freibergs, Guntis Galvinš and Roberts Bukarts all playing alongside with Kulda in the :CZE league, Rodrigo Abols play in :SWE(Örebro) and Ronalds Keninš who play in :SUI NLA for Lausanne.

 

Interesting is also to mention, Hartley did not take this year with him 2 long years members of the team, the extremely experienced veterans Mikelis Redlihs and Andris Džerinš, both were removed from the roster in this last cut.

 

 

:LAT played 6 preparation games before the tournament during the last weeks, they won 2 of them and both after Overtime/penalty Shoot-Outs (the most notable is the 2-1 OT over Russia) and 3:2 OT in France over the host team. In the remaining 4 matches they had to concede defeats 0-2 in France, 2-4 against Russia and in both last weekend matches in Switzerland against the Swiss 1-4 and 0-2.

The next one to unveil their roster are our beloved brothers and former federal partners, the Czechs.

 

Miloš Říha announced his 25 players roster for the preliminary round. (formed by traditional 3 Golatenders, 8 defencers and 14 forwards).

 

:CZE will can count on the help of 10 NHLers (the defencers Radko Gudas, Jan Rutta and Filip Hronek and forwards Jakub Voráček, Dmitij Jaškin, Jakub Vrána, Filip Chytil, Ondřej Palát, Dominik Simon and Michael Frolík) + Sklenička from AHL. The very competitive squad is completed by very good players from strong leagues like Řepík, Kolář, Hanzl, Tomáš Zohorna and the goalie Jakub Kovář all from KHL clubs or Dominik Kubalík from :SUI league, Tomášek and the second of the Zohorna brothers Hynek arrived from :FIN league.

The remaining 6 spots are fullfiled by players from domestic extraliga.

 

The :CZE team will be with this squad definitely again one of the medal contenders.

 

This time we will not see in the Czech team players like defencers Jakub Krejčík, Jakub Jeřábek, Tomáš Kundrátek and forwards Martin Zaťovič or Jiří Sekáč which for several reasons didn´t made it to the final team

 

 

They played 9 preparation matches during the last weeks, including 3 in the last Euro Hockey stage at home in the Carlson Hockey Games.

with a impressive record 7 W - 2 L

 

They won all 6 "double matches", the first two against Austria 3-1 at home ice and 5-4 OT in Austria, then also both home games against Germany 5-4 and 5-4, followed by wins in both matches in Slovakia against the hosts 3-1 in Trenčín and 2-0 in Nitra.

The 7th win came in the Euro Hockey tournament over Sweden 3-0.

The only 2 defeats are also from the Euro Hockey Tour tournament 2-3 to Finland and 1-4 in their yesterdays last test match to the over-mighty Russia.

9th team to introduce its final preliminary round roster is the "land of thousand lakes".

 

Jukka Jalonen will bring to Slovakia 25 players divided into traditional 3 Goaltenders, 8 Defencers and 14 Forwards.

 

but this time Finland will surprisingly not have so many NHLers in their ranks, in fact many :FIN NHL stars had to refuse the invitation mainly because of injuries.

This is the reason why we can find only 2 NHLers in their final squad. the 19 years old young Chicago Blackhawks defencer Henri Jokiharju who played 38 matches in NHL regular season this year with 12 assists and the Florida Panthers 23 years old forward Juho Lammikko who played 40 matches for the Panthers this season but also without scoring any goal and producing 6 assists.

 

The AHL reinforcements, Kevin Lankinen the Rockford goalie and Niko Mikkola the defencer of San Antonio are the two other players arriving from North American ice.

 

Overall the main part of the team is formed by players from domestic league (12 in total), the remaining places are fullfiled by players from KHL (4 -two from Jokerit Helsinki and one respectively from the chinese kunlun and russian Dinamo Moscow), :SWE and :SUI leagues.

 

One of the most followed player of this team will be for sure the super talented 18 years old supposed this years #2 NHL Draft Kaapo Kakko.

 

After the last test match Jalonen removed from the roster the last 6 names, the goalie Eetu Laurikainen, defencers Otto Leskinen, Tony Sund and Juuso Vainio, and forwards Joonas Nättinen and Arttu Ruotsalainen.

 

 

:FIN played 9 preparation matches (including 3 in the Euro Hockey Tour final stage in :CZE) during last weeks

with a record of 7 wins against 2 defeats.

Quite interesting they lost only to Sweden (2 of the 3 games they played together) 1-3 at home and 1-2 during the Euro Hockey Tour last match yesterday in Brno, Czech Republic.

In other hand they won all remaining 7 games - 1-0 and 2-1 in Denmark against the hosts, 3-1 and 7-0 over Norway at home, their only win against Sweden in the preparation 5-4 at home and the two impressive wins in Czech Republic during the Euro Hockey Tour tournament 3-2 over the host Czech Republic and 3-1 against Russia.

Norway will be reinforced by 1 NHLer in Slovakia, the Chicago Blackhawks forward Andreas Martinsen and 13 players from foreign leagues, including 8 from :SWE.

 

He also reveiled that the Goaltending #1 will be Henrik Haukeland from Finlands TPS Turku, the captain was named the experienced Jonas Holos from Fribourg and another notable stars of the team are Alexander Bonsaksen from KooKoo and Mattias Nörstebö of Frölunda.

 

The goals are expected from their :SWE league armada Mathis Olimb, Thomas Valkvä Olsen, Mats Rosseli Olsen or Mathias Trettenes from the german Krefeld .

 

Petter Thoresen called to the team also his son Patrick Thoresen from Storhamar, but the 35 years old former NHLer (Edmonton Oilers and Philadelphia Flyers forwrad) is currently still facing troubles with injury and will certainly miss at least the last preparation match of the team tomorrow against Slovakia.

 

Norway is still waiting and hoping for reinforcement of another their huge star Mats Zuccarello Aasen, who is still playing with Dallas in the NHL Stanley Cup Play-Offs. (the series Dallas-St. Louis is currently tied 3-3, with the decisive match schedulled tomorrow)

 

 

:NOR played 6 preparation matches last weeks with 1 W -5 L

the only win came in their last game 4-3 OT over Denmark at home,

the loses 0-5 and 1-5 in Sweden, 1-3 and 0-7 in Finland and 0-1 to Denmark at home.

 

They will play one more match tomorrow in Michalovce against the host Slovakia, for both teams it will be the last test match before the World Championships.

    • 2028 Team Size Projection – Jan 2026 Update   Here’s an update to my 2028 Team Size Projection. While I touch upon major events changes may occur due to results in smaller events. Additionally, several sports released their qualification document so there may be cases where I have to update the projection. I will only include sports where there is an update.   Here is the link to the updated sheet.     Aquatics (Water Polo) The Men’s European Championships saw take gold. The victory moved Serbia up a few places between European nations. With that said, no one fell out of Olympic qualification with the likes of France and Romania still on the outside looking in. remains on the edge.   Athletics (Marathon) Both the Xiamen and Osaka marathons were held this month along with a few other smaller events. While there were a few changes in the rankings, in terms of Olympic projections gains an athlete in the men’s marathon at the expense of   Badminton Major tournaments include the Malaysia Open and India Open. New updates which affected projections include the women’s doubles where overtook . As Polina Buhrova is also scheduled to compete in the singles event, an additional spot has been open. Other changes in the women’s singles was loses one of their quotas. and benefit from those losses.   Indonesia’s loss on the women’s side is offset by gaining a second player in the men’s singles. This puts   on the outside.   Canoeing The qualification document for both Slalom and Sprint were released/updated. No significant changes were found in the Sprint update. Slalom had significant changes relative to 2024 where the initial quotas will be decided by rankings and kayak cross will now have significant quotas being allocated. After adjustment, the following nations lost a quota; Andorra, Chinese Taipei, Ireland, New Zealand, North Macedonia, Slovakia, and Sweden. The following nations gained a quota; Canada, China, France, Italy, South Africa, Spain, and Tunisia.   Cricket The Women’s T20 World Cup Qualifier was held. No changes to the projection.   Equestrian (Dressage & Jumping) Various World Cup events were held. No changes to the projections were made.   Fencing We had two Grand Prix this month, one for epee and the other for sabre. In men’s epee, overtakes . On the women’s side, the United States moved into the top 4 in the team ranking, pushing Estonia down to fifth. This pushed out of Olympic qualification while takes the Americas quota. This caused a downstream effect on the individual side as Ukraine takes an individual quota and Canada relinquishes their quota, additionally, gained a quota while lost one.   In men’s sabre, now takes the Asian team quota pushing down to just an individual quota. No changes were found in women’s sabre.   Handball Four men’s continental championships were held this month. finished top in Africa while a couple of upsets were saw in South America and Asia where and won over and respectively. Despite their wins, they currently haven’t leapfrogged into being projected to qualify. We’ll see how they perform at the World Championships.   Europe saw finish fourth. This was enough to push it into Olympic qualification projection. They pushed out.   Rowing The qualification document was released. There was a change in boat allocation relative to 2024 and the continental qualifier was slightly different than what I projected. Additionally, I assumed coastal rowing would allow 2 men and 2 women to compete in its three events, but the max is 1 man and 1 woman. This has caused significant changes to the projections.   Overall, the United States lost four quotas. Canada, France, Germany, Ireland, Lithuania, New Zealand, Norway, and Spain lost two quotas and Algeria, Argentina, Croatia, Cuba, Egypt, Kazakhstan, Netherlands, Portugal, Tunisia lost one quota.   The following nations have gained two athletes; Japan, Morocco while the following nations gained one athlete; Angola, Austria, Belgium, Chile, Chinese Taipei, Cote d’Ivoire, Denmark, Estonia, Kuwait, Latvia, Mexico, Romania, Philippines, Paraguay, Puerto Rico, South Africa, South Korea, Switzerland, Togo, Uzbekistan, Vanuatu   Rugby Sevens Fixing a couple of mistakes. First on the men, actually has the Asian quota over and in the women as is essentially shutting down the program, I think it is only right to remove them until they decide to compete again. This means is also projected to qualify.   As for new updates, we saw the third tier SVNS compete, which brought no new updates and the Singapore SVNS. I also didn’t add the Dubai or Cape Town SVNS in my calculations. For both, while there was some shuffling no one ultimately fell out.   Shooting The Asian Shotgun Championships were held this month. A few top shooters were missing. The only change to the projection is is set to qualify in women’s trap, pushing out   Squash The Tournament of Champions was held this month. Additionally, the qualification document was released. There was some restriction as to how many nations can send two players and this sport will offer universality quotas.   The following nations lost an athlete quota; Colombia, France, Great Britain, Hong Kong, Malaysia, and New Zealand. The following nations gained an athlete quota; Canada, Pakistan, Spain (x2), Switzerland, Ukraine   Triathlon The qualification document was released. There are a few changes relative to 2024. Projection changes include: Losses to Hong Kong and Slovenia and gains for Austria and China.   Weightlifting The qualification document was released. One change to be made was the reallocation process for host nation quotas. Due to this, El Salvador Iraq, Palau, Sri Lanka, Tuvalu, and Vanuatu lost quotas while Australia, China, Dominican Republic, Iran, and Samoa (x2) gained quotas.   Wrestling The qualification document was released. There were some significant changes to the qualification process including using the world rankings and the final qualifier only consisting of non-qualified nations. The projection changes are as follows; losses to Belarus, Bulgaria, China, Georgia, Germany, Hungary, Japan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Mongolia, Russia, South Korea, Sweden, and Turkey.   Belgium and Lithuania gained 2 quotas while American Samoa, Austria, Estonia, Iraq, Israel, Jordan, Latvia, Madagascar, Spain, and Turkmenistan gained 1 quota.
    • Looks like we in the Philippines are in the same situation. No news yet on whether we’ll be able to watch the Games 
    • Cricket is any day in a better position than Baseball, Modern Pentathlon or Rowing 8s globally
    • http://i.imgur.com/gLJZbix.jpg   Honestly football is just on another level. For other sports, an expanded field or creating multiple host cities likely only works with baseball, cricket and maybe basketball, and only in very specific countries.
    • No streaming for the games in India. I contacted IOC they just sent me a list where the games will be shown live.    Last games we had the Olympic channel and YouTube showing the live coverage for regions with no media rights. This time sadly no such schedule.   So much about making the games accessible to all...
    • What revealed those files of Epstein !!!! thousands of scandals , horrible diguisting things mixing politic criminalities , robbery , scam , manipulation...etc    all those celebrities of shht that you love   
    • I wonder if instead of having flexibility around what sport to add there should be one or two team sports per game with an expanded field (of 16 or 32 or w/e) where the host gets to pick which which team sports (if any) has an expanded field.
    • Dunno if this is geoblocked, but this is from our weekly comedy show Saturday Night Live  
    • I don't buy that she's doing this just to start the race if she thinks she won't be competitive.  We'll probably know more after the training run and far be it from me to know how that's going to work with a torn ACL, but if she knows she can't do it, she'll give that spot to another skier
    • And this with relatively small fields, so lots of nations with no skin in the game.
