We need that GBR will win against HUN, right? 

 

no, even if they lose now it doesn't mind anymore...ITA and GBR are promoted...

so, next year we'll be destroyed once again by the big guns, but still we fly to Bratislava (or Kosice)...and that's enough for me...

Amazing news! Amazing season for FISG, double promotion in hockey, great season in curling and some good results in skating! Just wow!

I'd rather say "despite FISG"...at least for what concerns hockey, especially the men's game...

don't worry...you just missed out on the best years of our hockey, before FISG and the teams from the valleys between the Alps literally destroyed it...

 

I could write pages and pages about that, but I don't think this is the right place...I can only tell you that we were among the top 8 teams in the world in the early Nineties (of course thanks to the US and  Canadian born Italians...at that time our team was only made with that kind of players, with 2/3 exceptions every year) and we had a very competitive championship with 3/4 clubs among the best in Europe...but that's history (and won't come back for sure in the next many years)...
