According to KHL official website, China already neutralized 15 Asian-rooted players and another 10 local Chinese players will join the team soon. Now I will upgrade my expectation a little bit.

Yes for PyeongChang.

 

This time it was schedulled on purpose specially for the summer NHL break.

So officially no NHLer in our team only with a couple of AHLers (with limited experiences from NHL like Marinčin, Daňo, Studenič, Jurčo, Feherváry, Ružička or Lantoši and players from European leagues led by the best forward of this years WCH Peter Cehlárik and his linemate Marek Hrivík or the extremely experienced but hot headed Libor Hudáček and believe it or not but also the 3 U18 talents Slafkovský, Nemec and Kňažko who led our U18 team to the fantastic silver medals two weeks ago in the Hlinka Gretzky Cup.

 

Today was also officially confirmed the matches will be held infront of fans. 75 % of the stadium capacity will be allowed for vaccinated people.

Confirmed around 7000 tickets will be available for sale for every game of the Bratislava tournament. Condition - vaccinated, or with a negative PCR test from less than 72 hours before the match or a person who had covid in the past 180 days.

 

The team started the training camp in Zvolen for the young AHLers, from this weekend the whole team will move to the "bubble" in Bratislava and the tournament classified as the absolute biggest and most important sport event of the country in this year 2021 will be able to start

yeah, our chances somehow quickly dropping to zero   Rossi will play for Austria, Sharangovich also confirmed the invitation to play for Belarus, BLR already training and preparing themselves together behind closed doors back at home for a whole month...

 

I feel this is going to end by the worst and saddest disappointment in my whole life as a sports fan.

Slovakia might well get to replace Canada who look fairly likely to withdraw from the games because as it looks I think the next PM of Canada is pro boycotting the games on safety grounds.
