While our U20 team is currently struggling in Canada with the impossible task of replacing the absent stars of our NT, came also some positive news from the USA, where our U17 NT is playing a mini 5 nations tournament.

 

And the 16 years old Theo Kiss scored this "Lacrosse aka Svechnikov aka Granlund" beauty in the 8-2 win over

While our U20 subs are currently embarassing our beautiful country in Canada, the son of god had another one of the "super-busy-days" before his departure for Montreal next week

 

First he received in Bratislava the EOC "Piotr Nurowski Silver award" for the 2nd best U18 European Winter Olympian of the year 2022 (Still hard to understand how he lost this one to Niki Prevc though, she had great season for sure, but Juraj won a medal while she not, and yet the EOC members voted her for 1st...)

 

 

to later in the evening, now in a mandatory suit dominated the "The Slovak Player of the Year 2022" Gala with 3 titles including the main one

Looks like World Cup of Hockey is coming back in February 2024. Also games will be played in Europe as well.

 

Just hope it means NHL will be in Milan.

ahahaha well, Pat & Mat is a Czech cartoon, it really does not have so much slovak connection, apart it is also very popular here as well

 

However people from abroad always ask me about the difference between our two nations and if there any, very hard to answer to that, maybe this video is one of the most accurate

Well, some 15 years ago we even had Polish beer commercials in Czech
