after they totally dominated the group stage, Canada yesterday got quite a scare against Sweden...let's see if the Russians (who are stronger than SWE, on paper) can upset the North Americans...:mumble:

 

by the way, I'm always impressed by the skill level these yougsters already have at their age...:bowdown:

The new Slovak Extraliga season´s format has been announced.

 

aaand The new season will start in a style ! The opening game will be a match between the two arch-rivals of slovak ice hockey scene, HC Košice vs Slovan Bratislava :woohoo:

 

Slovan Bratislava decided to end their KHL participation and after loooooong 7 years will finally return and play the national championships in Slovakia. by this the new season will have 13 participating teams. 11 :SVK and 2 :HUN clubs

 

Every team will play 48 matches (4 against every opponent - 2 at home, 2 away), since the number of teams is odd (13) in every daymatch round one club will have a rest day.

 

 

After the first phase completed the teams will be divided into 2 groups. Upper Group of 1st-6th ranked and Lower Group 7th-12th Ranked clubs. For the last ranked 13th team the season will be over.

In their respective groups every team will play 2 more matches against each opponent of it´s group (1 home and 1 away).

 

And this will close the regular season. The teams of top 6 groups will be all qualified for the Play-Offs, while the remaining 2 spots will be battled in the Lower Group, the 7th and 8th will join them in the Play-Offs.

 

The good news for the 13th ranked team no one will be relegated, since from the season 2020/21 the league will expand to 14 clubs (This seasons 13 participants + the 2019/2020 2nd division winner)

 

 

Also the participation of our U20 National Team in the extraliga has been removed so already from this season the U20 NT will no longer participate in our national championship

 

 

here the 1st round schedule

 

Thursday 12. september:

HC Košice – HC Slovan Bratislava (R)      (RTVS2  Live)

 

Friday 13. september:

Good start of preparation for my HC Košice winning today the first praparation match 5-4 over the Russian KHL participant Admiral Vladivostok with a hattrick from Marcel Haščák (3+1 today) and 2 goals from David Skokan. Way to go boys !

 

The team is led by new coach, the Czech born german legend Peter Draisaitl (yes, the father of the german super star Leon).

I think Admiral Vladivostok is going to be my new favourite ice hockey team, because that name just rules the world. Admiral Vladivostok at your service :bowdown:

Problems in :SWE Women´s hockey NT

 

The basically entire women´s Swedish top ice hockey players refused to join the national team's training camp due to lack of care and financial compensation from the national federation, after the team was relegated for the first time in nation´s history from top division last season.

They are also considering the boycott of the upcoming international tournament in Finland. A total of 43 players refused the invitation for the preparation camp before the friendly tournament with Russia, the Czech Republic, Japan and host Finland.

So the team wasn't good enough to stay in the top division, resulting in financial support being cut in some way, and now the team is angry? Isn't that, at the very least, partially their own fault for getting relegated? I mean, it's rough and I might miss something, but it sounds like they were the ones who didn't take their chances..

and that´s what I call a very successful start of preparations.

 

HC Košice won the whole tournament in Pardubice (the traditional Zbynek Kusý Memorial) after beating the local Czech team HC Dynamo Pardubice 5-3 in the Final.

    • I`m very disappointed with this weekend. Only becouse of Ghiotto form I`m happy. Unfortunately, the women's team will not function well if Lollobrigida skips most of the training camps and Fontana starts alternately in short tack and long track. It will end with her not winning any medals here or there, because it`s already clear that it will be very difficult to achieve good results in long track. I hope that she understands this, because in short track she has a real chance of winning medals in the women's relay and the mixed relay but in long track not.
    • Tragic performance of the Italian women's team - last place and probably something bad happened at the start. There are so few starts in the team that it will be a problem to even qualify for the World Championships - 8 best teams. After Lollobrigida's return and Fontana's addition, I was counting on much more, but it seems that there are too few joint trainings. With individual quality, we have no right to lose to the Czechs without Sablikova, or anonymous Korea. And unfortunately this start will count for a lot, because there are only 2 more and our chances of playing at the World Championships are minimal. In my opinion with Fontana going from Short Track to Long Trackand vice versa, we won't be much use in the team. Here great teamwork is needed, not improvisation. As of today, there is very little chance that we will qualify the women's team for the games.
    • men advanced to Division A for the first time since 2018 (when they went 1-8). Don't expect much progress next year
    • Ok, but there we are talking about a person who has parents from different countries. Colturi has nothing to do with Albania.
    • There are few people here from Austria, Switzerland, Norway and Finland.
    • The worst editions in XXI century for us were Vancouver: 5 medals (only 1 gold for Razzoli's on the penultimate day) and Sochi: 8 medals (but no gold). Turin was already a prelude to this bad period, although the number of gold medals was ok. Overall we won fewer medals at home than in 2002 and this was probably the only case in the 21st century when the host country won fewer medals at home than 4 years earlier, either in summer or winter. In general the years 2008-2016 were very bad in our sport, both in summer and winter. Only 2018 in Korea was a slight rebuild + 2 fantastic summer editions in Tokyo and Paris. in Beijing 2022 we won a lot of medals - 17 but only 2 gold (If it weren't for Gogga's injury, I think it would have been 4 gold).
    • Totallympics had  users at one point, but I haven't seen any hanging around in a while.
    • In terms of total medals, yes. In terms of golds, I’d be fine with anywhere from 6-8.   @intoronto you don’t think we’ll do better or at least the same? Bit surprising.
    • Tadeucci was very good and took bronze
    • On the Olympics I don't like to count golds to analyse the performance, I think the best data are the top8 and medals. In both fields I expect a big improvement (obviously not on the 'pure' number, but on the percentage of medal or top8 events)
