Somehow disappointing only 3 slovaks drafted this year, a bit strange if you consider many of the eligible guys were in the teams which ended 3 times in arow in 4th place at the U18 worlds, especially Luka Radivojevič not being drafted is a crime if you ask me... but yeah, whatever :mumble:

 

From Non-north-american countries this year was :SWE the clear winner, First ever drafted kids from :CHN and :CRO 

 

 

:SWE 30

:RUS 21

:CZE 11

:FIN 8

:GER 4

:BLR & :SVK 3

:NOR & :SUI 2

:CHN:CRO & :DEN 1

 

0 drafted guys this year for :AUT or :LAT 

The 2025 Drafted Slovaks

 

Michal Prádel GK Detroit

 

 

 

 

 

 

Michal Svrček FW Detroit

 

 

Jan Chovan FW Lalaland

 

 

Feels worth highlighting :CHN Haoxi "Simon" Wang being picked 33rd. By far the most promising hockey player to ever come out of China.

Was obvious for quite time but since yesterday it is official.

 

Thanks for all StopHalák ! One of our best goalies ever. Damn that Vancouver 2010 Bronze medal third period will haunt me forever :(

Will never forget his playoff run with Montreal in 2010. He was on another level those first 2 rounds.

I don’t know why you’re trying to imply as if he’s some ass coach or a snub, because he isn’t :d

 

 

He won the Jack Adams Trophy in 2023-24, led us to a division title, and we came up just short of a spot in the WCF losing in 7 to the eventual finalists the Oilers, who lost to the Panthers in 7. He was also on the coaching roster for 4 Nations, which won gold. He’s also a great guy, well liked by everyone. That’s more than enough to warrant a spot IMO.

to me, he's a Tort who couldn't go that far :p

but in this case, I'm only concerned with the fact that his style doesn't suit at all his collegues' (especialky head coach Jon Cooper...they just can't be more different, light and dark, fire and water) and I'm not sure this staff is the best Hockey Canada could put together

we'll see if finally it pays off next February...

A few days ago, Hockey Canada announced 42 men and 30 women that would be invited to the National Teams Orientation Camp. Likely most, if not all of the Olympic Teams will be comprised of these players.

    • Obviously impossible to know in advance but in 2022 all ten skaters Canada qualfiied skated individually, and 9/10 competed in a relay as well.
    • 4-3  over  at the break, Norway with hammer.
    • whatever you heard is just speculation. no one knows at the moment, probably even the orange himself.   and Iranian athletes failed to get visa so many times before. even female athletes. there is no pattern, it's just too random.    and yes Iran has a system of compulsory military service for men, and there is 50% chance for anybody to be randomly drafted by IRGC affiliated organizations. that's the case for Taremi and few others in the current team.  
    • Would you believe the NCAA Indoor season has already started?      
    • Some changes that I've noticed:   3x3 Basketball: With the expanded 12 team field, one extra team per gender qualifies through world rankings, one extra team qualifies through the universality driven tournament and there's now an Olympic Qualifier series to award the final quotas.   Beach Volleyball: Continental qualifiers have have priority over the World championship and World Rankings quotas and there's now Olympic Qualifier Series quotas.   Canoe Sprint: World ranking system now in place and will be used instead of awarding world championship quotas. Road Cycling: 2 nations ranking quotas per gender moved to universality.   Track Cycling: Sprint and Keirin ranking list is now combined and will award 14 quotas per gender. Previously it was 7+7. Team pursuit down to 8 quotas from 10. 2 of the quotas have been moved to madison (one additional team) and 6 to the omnium.   Fencing: Can get a Continental quota of you finished in the top 24 of the rankings. It was previously top 16.    Hockey: 2 pro league quotas replace two qualification tournament quotas.   Judo: 5 less universality places and 4 more Continental places. For men, there's two more spots for Asia, one less for Oceania and 1 more for the Americas. For the women, there's one more spot for Europe, one less for Oceania and two more for Asia.   Modern Pentathlon: Less quotas awarded through world rankings as a result of quota cuts.   Open Water Swimming: Introduction of world ranking qualifier.   Sailing: In general, seems to be more quotas awarded at the last chance regatta and less quotas at the World Championships   Shooting: One less quota handed out at each World Championship and the return on World Cup qualifiers.   Swimming: Olympic qualification and consideration times renamed to A and B standard. B standard is now 1% slower than the A standard compared to 0.5% in 2024. Stroke 50s have their own direct qualification events and have minimum time standards instead of A and B standards. Qualification times have been nuked again. B standard selection process has also changed.   Volleyball: New revised format. Continental championships first, then world championships followed by world rankings. In 2024, it was 3 qualification tournaments and then world rankings. Only 3 countries per gender will qualify by world rankings now compared to 5 in 2024
    • For Italy, the match against Japan and likely the final match against Estonia will be a safe/relegation game, but I'm think that whether the match against Estonia will be decisive on anything, if we have 0 points after 4 matches. We're currently the worst team here – we have 0 points and are taking significantly fewer shots than our opponents in each match. Japan and Estonia are looking better for now and unfortunately, without significant improvement play starting tomorrow, we'll likely be relegated to the fourth division. With the absence of Russia and Belarus, this will be a shame, even for the weaker 2006/2007 age generation. Especially, since we are playing this tournament at home. For anyone could have competed with a good shape, except perhaps Hungary, who are currently the best team in the tournament.
    • They shouldn't promise additional spots to countries that qualify 3 athletes in each distance, because then taking those spots away isn't fair. For example, in Italy, Previtali won the 500m QO for country but he would likely have to stay at home because the staff probably would have chosen Casinelli for the relay (Casinelli won't be competing individually at all). I don't know what the situation is in Canada with the fifth-place skater? Will this person only compete in the relay, or will he also be a reserve there? 
    • That's too bad. Athletes who finish in the top 32 (or 36 for the 1590m) should be the priority over the 5th athlete from a relay country.   So Croatia loses their 2nd women's quota, Hong Kong loses their only women's quota and Poland loses their 3rd women's quota.   This means that Great Britain, Slovakia and Ukraine should fill up the rest of the 1500m field since they are the highest placed reserves that doesn't require an additional quota.    
    • Philip Rivers' possible return to NFL while being a semifinalist for the Hall of Fame certainly wasn't on my bingo card. But well. So far he's only on the practice squad
