Magic moment for Spain

Spain scored three first-period goals in just 3:19 and never looked back, defeating Turkey 7-0 to win the gold medal at the 2020 IIHF Ice Hockey U18 Women’s World Championship Division II Group B tournament.
 
It was a slice of history in Mexico City on Sunday.
 
The 2020 IIHF Ice Hockey U18 Women’s World Championship Division II Group B is the newest addition to the IIHF calendar. The inaugural four-team tournament, featuring a round-robin and playoff stage, took place at the Santa Fe Ice Rink in the Centro Santa Fe shopping mall.
 
In the gold medal game, unbeaten Spain left no doubt in the first period, outshooting Turkey 18-2.
 
First, Judit Pareja capitalized during a goalmouth scrum at 11:22. At 14:03, Berta Garcia beat Turkish starter Azra Sert with a quick shot off the rush for a 2-0 lead. Then tournament scoring champ Haizea Fernandez de Roma (8+1=9) got loose in front and deked past the goalie at 14:41.
 
This wasn’t an entirely surprising scenario, given that the undefeated Spanish girls had hammered Turkey 9-0 in their earlier round-robin meeting.
 
Next, Laura Gil scored midway through the second period. Third-period goals by Eva Airzpurua and Sofia Argote made it 6-0 with just under 10 minutes to go. Gil added her second goal and third point of the night to round out the scoring for coach Harold Jay Rozenholtz’s troops. Final shots were 47-7 for Spain.
 
For the Spanish federation, led by IIHF Life Member Frank Gonzalez, it’s an important step forward for their U18 women’s program. Spain is home to fewer than 230 female players in total. The Spanish U18 women made their IIHF debut just three years ago when the Basque city of San Sebastian hosted a Division I Group B qualification tournament.
 
The silver medal also represents a confidence-builder for the Turks. They’ve made progress since being outscored 21-0 at last year’s Division I Group B qualification tournament in Spain.
 
In the bronze medal game, the host Mexicans gave their supporters something to cheer about, marching to a 6-3 win over New Zealand. There was lots of leadership on display, as Mexican captain Samantha Nevarez and New Zealand captain Beth Scott scored two goals apiece. Mexico’s Luisa Vinals had a goal and three assists as the game’s leading points-getter.
 
Between the pipes, the biggest story of the tournament was New Zealand’s Lilly Forbes. Even though the Kiwis finished last with five consecutive losses, the 16-year-old Canterbury Devilettes netminder stood on her head with a whopping 217 stops on 234 shots for a 92.7 save percentage. She was named Best Goalie.
 
Forbes dazzled with 81 saves in a 6-1 round-robin loss to Spain. She nearly pulled off a significant upset with 67 saves in a 2-1 semi-final loss in overtime to Spain. It was all about perseverance and dedication for everyone on coach Angelique Mawson’s team, which competed shortstaffed in multiple games due to illness.
 
Spain earned promotion to the 2021 IIHF Ice Hockey U18 Women’s World Championship Division II Group A. All the participants in Mexico City can be proud of their role in growing the women’s game worldwide.

    • Heraskevyvh is very good in this season. He did worse last season. Our team is unfortunately doing much worse now.    In luge, unfortunately, it`s difficult to break the dominance of Germany, Austria and Latvia. The USA has also made a lot of progress. I have also read that Russia may return under a neutral banner, so I don`t think we will win a medal in Cortina 2026. The only hope is that we will use our knowledge of the new track in Cortina and then maybe we will win a one medal, maybe in the women's doubles. Unfortunately, we don`t have a star like Armin Zoeggeler as before.

    • I still remember how Demi Moore swept the Razzies for Striptease almost 30 years ago and she won Golden Globes now? The acting industry must be short on talent, scripts or everything else   This being said I don't really watch too many new TV shows these days least of all those Marvel/DC action hero stuff that has taken over in the last decade plus. I know it's a box office gold mine but completely not my taste.
    • Yeah, Anora has been really hard for me to place in my personal rankings. It's a fun and enjoyable film for the most part, but it didn't quite generate the same awe or excitement from me that a few others have this season. Still, I was quite shocked to see Madison lose yesterday because she did a deliver a phenomenal performance in my opinion.    The best actress "race" still feels rather open to me, which adds a bit of suspense to each body's nominations.  
    • Anyone remember that  athlete in a European Champs who was given a false start, then protested and got a re-run?  And then false-started twice.   Was kind of like that. 
    • Justin Trudeau has resigned as party leader and will resign as prime minister of Canada once the Liberal Party choses a new leader. Once a new leader in selected there will likely be elections shortly after.
    • I'm not surprised. Colturi seems to be trending in the right direction (duh) and the rest of the Italian women's team is nowhere except veterans Brignone and Goggia. The Delagos have regressed badly for whatever reason and even Bassino has kinda stalled despite still being in her prime. The shit will soon hit the fan but it's probably to late before the next OG. It would be ridiculous if Albania wins more medals in alpine skiing than Italy
    • The regular season is over. Tennesse Titans get #1 overall pick for the 2025 draft after NE Patriots beat the Buffalo Bills back-ups on the last day.   Mike Evans (Buccaneers) ended his 11th season with 11th mark of 1,000 receiving yards which ties Jerry Rice's all-time record. Bucs needed to run one more play to get him 5 yards he needed instead of kneeling down a game they had won already.   Wild Card Schedule:   My picks: Chargers, Ravens, Bills, Eagles, Commanders, Vikings
