Looks like UAE bought every player of their roster. As one could expect, they are mainly Russians, some Croats.

Long live petroleum fields.

This will be interesting.

UAE with another victory.

After 2nd round, we will probably have 3 teams with 6 points.

I still cant decide which team will advance into 1B division.

But one thing i know. If UAE advances, it would be the 1st time that team from 3rd division qualifies for the 1st division in just 2 years.

Slovakia did it from 1994 to 1996.

 

1994 WCH program debut in Pool C

 

 

1995 Pool B

 

 

1996 Top Division debut

I wouldn't guess in a million years that Slovakia was that team.

What about time before 1994? 

Which format were they using?

Czechoslovakia played in 1992 last time as one country the worlds and won bronze. This  10th May 1992 was the last match of Czechoslovakia in history.

 

 

In 1993 IIHF decided that Czech republic will inherit of the succession rights and was reinstated in the elite division immediatelly from 1993.

 

Slovakia was send to the lowest division (Pool C 2 at that time) but our federation succeeded at least that we will not need to play this one and by taking a vacant year (1993) qnd the next year 1994 we can start directly in Pool C1 (as hosts) and also that we will be invited to Lillehammer Olympics Qualification (Which we won)
