hckošice 13,127 Posted May 3, 2021 Author #2 Share Posted May 3, 2021 Several teams from Division I Group A have agreed to play a tournament as a replacement of the canceled event due to the covid-19 pandemic. As you know, IIHF have cancelled all lower division Tournaments for the 2nd consecutive year. Meanwhile Slovenia came with the idea to invite all other Division I A opponents and play a "unofficial" Division I A tournament which they decided to call : "Beat Covid-19" Tournament. Majority of teams agreed, only and withdrew, so The host Slovenia invited and from Division I B. All 6 Teams will play in a traditional Division I Group A format Round-Robin, Everyone playing everyone once. The winner of the tournament however, will not qualify for the next year Top Division, and last team will not be relegated to Division I Group B neither.

Teams from Division I A (Especially Slovenia) said a big: Enough is enough ! and decided to organize a replacement tournament using the same IIHF WCh rules (anthem only of winner of the match after the game etc..), format of 5 day matches round-robin and scheduling like a "normal" division I A tournament. Other teams accepted (remember, these teams are also preparing for August Olympic qualifiers, so they need matches like this) only Hungary and S. Korea sadly withdrew, so Poland and Ukraine from Division I B were invited to replace them and both agreed. dcro 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
