New Zealand’s inline hockey national team during the 2016 IIHF Inline Hockey Qualification Asia/Oceania in New Plymouth

 

New Zealand will be back at the IIHF Inline Hockey World Championship next year for the first time since being relegated 2012 and will compete in the Division I competition during the 2017 IIHF Inline Hockey World Championship that will take place in summer next year in the Slovak capital of Bratislava.

This season three qualifiers from three different world regions are to be determined for the last three spots in the 2017 IIHF Inline Hockey World Championship and after Brazil it was New Zealand which can book their tickets to Bratislava after winning the 2016 IIHF Inline Hockey Qualification Asia/Oceania on home soil in New Plymouth. They will join Australia as the other team from the region.

In the four-team tournament it all came down to the last game between Japan, which was relegated last year, and the hosts. Both teams faced little trouble on the first two days with wins against Chinese Taipei, which finished in third place, and winless India, which was heavily outplayed in all three games in its inline hockey debut.

Ben Thompson opened the scoring against Japan at 6:10 but one minute later Shuntaro Tsuchimoto tied it up for Japan and 59 seconds into the second period Daisuke Ohto even brought Japan the lead.

The game was decided in the hosts’ favour in the third period with unanswered goals from Alex Novak, Paul Jameson and Tim Craig. Julian Beardman extended the lead to 5-2 midway through the third period.

The Japanese tried to react but only scored with 2:41 left in regulation time and the goalie pulled for the final score of 5-3 for New Zealand.

The third qualifier will be determined in a European qualification with Austria, Latvia, Belgium, Bulgaria, FYR Macedonia, Israel, Turkey, Serbia and Ireland. The dates and venue will be announced later.

    • yesterdays' results:  VS  26-31 Very good result for  to qualify to the main round, the team improved (but not to compete with the high level yet).  is a fast and rapid team but lacking the strength and good defense.    VS  29-29, great game from both giants,  finished the first half 16-11 but a great comeback from  in second half with special thanks to Alex Dujshebev who scored in the last 6 seconds and to Dujshebev junior (Daniel) who saved the long shot from the center to secure the draw in a thriller game. De Vargas (  GK) did one great moment in the game when he saved a penalty and the Ref gave the Swedish player Hampus a red card thinking it came straight to De Vargas face but the GK told the ref it came to his hand asking the ref to cancel the red card in a great moment  (at that time the score was 20-14 to Sweden)      VS  28-38, great game from the African side,  is a big question mark, in 1999 Wch they finished 8th and since then the team performance was keep going down (decent number of players switched nationalities),  was leading the game from start till the end and secure a historical qualify to the main round.    VS  18-23, is it a surprise? ..yes and no ..  should be the more favorable side but their performance even in the European qualification was not great..  beat  in European qualification with 1 goal difference in a very tough game.  was performing very well from the beginning finishing the 1st half 14-8,  GK get the credit for such brilliant result.
