he will take the money and then he'll be back home in 2 years
nothing will change for us because there's no money, no infrastructures, no players (and those who are there have no talent nor attitude), no public and media interest
basically, hockey in Italy doesn't exist anymore since mid/late Nineties...there's just a parody of it
no, there's no chance to find new names, as they would need to play at least 2 years with an Italian club...and our clubs have no money to sign very good players
moreover, the federation has always been against that kind of politics...they just want to grant a place in the NT to the (very modest and with no attitude) guys from the Alpine Valleys
they always tried to prevent hockey to become a true national sport (and finally they could reach their result when high level game disappeared from Milan after the glory days of the Nineties)
now they have their place in the Institutions and can develop also their international career without having to cope with any kind of National interest
Today also the Inline Slalom tournament ended...and, as usual, no results available in any of the events where didn't get any medal
Inline Slalom
men's Junior Parallel Slalom
Gold: Mattia Pè
Silver: Christian Rondi
Bronze: Antonio Fanchini
good luck to all those who'd like to know how the other 3 events ended...
shame! shame! shame on world skate!
