Tournament Format

 

The 10 teams are divided into two, five-team Preliminary groups A and B in the Preliminary Round.

 

After a single round-robin series in each group, the top four teams from each group advance to the Playoff Round while the fifth-placed team in each group will end their tournament.

 

The top four placed teams from the Preliminary will play a cross-over Quarterfinal game: 1A vs. 4B, 1B vs. 4A, 2A vs. 3B and 2B vs. 3A. The winner of each Quarterfinal moves onto the Semi-Finals.

The host if qualified, or otherwise the best-ranked semi-finalist according to beforementioned criteria, shall play the early game. The time slots will officially be determined after the quarter-final games.

 

The winner of each Semi-Final game will move onto the Gold Medal Game, while the losers will play in the Bronze Medal Game.

The quarter-final losers will be ranked 5th to 8th according to 1. their position in the group, 2. their preliminary-round record (1. points, 2. goal difference, 3. goals scored).

and our European part of the team finally arrived to Red Deer at 01:30 AM. and our team was welcomed by a very interesting -30° freeze in the host city lol

 

The North-American based players will join the team during this morning

 

 

 

Actually really looking forward for this tournament, since we can seriously have 2 NHL Draft Top 10s (Šimon Nemec and especially Juraj Slafkovský) and another Top 20 (Filip Mešár) + a real 2023 Top 3 NHL Draft prospect the 16 years young Dalibor Dvorský, so the kids can change their lifes during this tournament, they have everything on their own hands,

so highest time to persuade the scouts lads.

 

for the rest of the team Good luck guys ! Try your best and Enjoy your tournament ! Sadly we have a very difficult group this year with USA, RUS and SWE, so the main match should be the game against SUI to avoid the relegation round.

The tournament will have attendance capacity limited to 50 percent.

 

The decision follows the new anti-covid measures in the province of Alberta that introduced capacity limits for indoor sports events. The Canadian Hockey Association informed about it on its official website.
