Will never understand how such Speed Skating & Field Hockey powerhouse can be so epochally shitty and piss poor in producing Ice hockey players, I know this like their "B" U17 team here but still, a country with such potential in literally both important parts of this sport Speed Skating & Hockey (even if on weird surface I admit) being so badly bad, this is just beyond me

+ it is a freaking 3vs3 hockey on half rink size, 3 against 3 for almost 45 minutes, It is just impossible to not score holy mother of mothers... just shoot the puck the goal is like 10 meters far from yours

I wonder if this is even the B team instead of like a Z team, but I have no idea....it's not like this is mentioned anywhere here unfortunately  

 

We have a bright future though, as hockey legend Naomi van As and speed skating legend Sven Kramer have a daughter (October 2018) and a son (August 2022), so they should be right there at the top when the ice hockey mixed doubles event is in the Olympics

Wait, meanwhile the Dutch U18 women are playing a world championships, apparently in the Netherlands? They even got bronze there I'm reading, so I guess most of the potential Gangwon girls are there....but that's just weird scheduling  

 

Anyhow, according to what I'd say is the Dutch federation's website the Dutch girls lost their first match 1-6 to....Austria. They might want to check up on their English and flag knowledge

Yes, The A team played in Heerenveen the Division II A which ended yesterday. Meanwhile, the opening game is also something I guess you will not really want to remember Here

but the tournament anyway ended successfully at the end with a nice Bronze medal
