phelps 6,738 Posted September 15, 2022 #31 Share Posted September 15, 2022 (edited) busy week in the European Hockey... after the first CHL stint, now it's time for the beginning of almost all the main European domestic leagues... Finnish Liiga is underway since Tuesday, yesterday the Swiss NLA started. Tonight it was time for the Czech Extraliga and the German DEL to open their campaign, meanwhile tomorrow it's time for the Slovak Extraliga and the Austrian ICE League (with 3 Italian teams). Saturday the Swedish SHL will begin, too. All this, waiting for the NHL to start their show. I'm ready for the full immersion... p.s. @hckošice I saw that the AMC channels replaced the KHL (gone for obvious reasons) with the Swiss NLA I'm almost in tears (of joy, of course)...

hckošice 13,200 Posted September 15, 2022 #32 Share Posted September 15, 2022 Yep tomorrow finally start the new season HC Košice for the Title ... but it would be a miracle though...

hckošice 13,200 Posted September 16, 2022 #34 Share Posted September 16, 2022 Looks the hell must have frozen over NHL apparently refuse to field gimmick teams to the World Cup No more Team Europe or Team North-America (which as you know was a team of U23 North American players). It looks the 2024 World Cup will consist of 10 National teams and with a pre-qualifying round before the main world cup round, with 8 nations making the WC. Slovakia will be apparently invited for the pre-quali round NHL will have a break during the whole tournament, the matches should be played in February 2024 in both N. America and Europe with medal games in Montreal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The match will be played in Bratislava so no HC Košice (The Steel Arena owner, asked 2 000 000 EUR for the rent of the arena to the club, justifying it by the high electricity prices, the club obviously temporarily canceled the contract and moved to the small Handball arena for training) asked for special exemption and all rivals agreed, so Košice will play cca the first month all matches away and will hope by this time the situation with the rent will be corrected Edited September 16, 2022 by hckošice phelps 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

America and Europe with medal games in Montreal it looks they want to make it a new World Baseball Classic, then (I mean, with teams based mainly on marketing interest of the NHL)... this might lead to make Italy a powerhouse, having a team filled with all the NHL players with Italian heritage (who normally can't play with us because they've never been in our Country)...
