Strahinja Vdovic what a talent has in this guy, tonight absolutely superb, he scored 3 goals, he was literally flying on the ice, he was really everywhere. Definitely a prospect to follow closely in the future

I saw his performance,he was really perfect. I cant remember that some Serbian player scored more than 2 goals in the match. 

Wierd group. China obviously invested lot in IH in previous years. Suprising score for them.

Sadly I wasn´t able to watch any of the Chinese matches so far, so I can not say much about them yet. but their results here are definitely surprising, Just made a look at their roster and I saw players from KHL Kunlun Red Star juniors team there + some guys playing in N. America. This is already some quality at this level. Also they have a coach from Finland, which is another important tactical factor that can play for them in this division, but again we are still early in the tournament and still speaking about U18 kids, so everything can still happen

 

Anyway, Beijing is coming closer and closer, so no big surprise to see China working on this sport as well, if they don´t want to experience huge shame (their hockey is , let say the true still very low quality even in comparison of Korea in PC 2018), they really had to open their minds and start searching abroad some serious experts for their managers staff to remoderning their system and play.

 

In other side, Serbia having a great year so far (hope to not jinx it) after the U20, now the U18 are showing good hockey and definitely are fighting for promotion. Wish the seniors team will continue on this way in 2 weeks ! This year can be finally that year to promote into Division I for hockey
