Our GM Miroslav Šatan confirmed to the press this morning the arrival of all 5 above mentioned guys. All 5 will join the camp next week

(It is questionable if they will play already next week preparation game against Poland or they will play only the last test match before the departure to the worlds against USA though)

Huge thanks to all 5 of them whom without any questions immediatelly accepted the invitations

Juraj Slafkovský (Montreal) Šimon Nemec (New Jersey) Tomáš Tatar (Seattle)

Martin Pospíšil (Calgary) and Pavol Regenda (Anaheim NHL/San Diego AHL)

We are apparently still expecting to add also some 5 max 6 other names to the final roster

(we have a couple of guys in the Czech extraliga final, the likes of Hudáček, Daňo, Roman, Čacho and Hrehorčák for Třinec and in Pardubice Paulovič, not so sure about Pánik being aired by our staff though but especially the defencer Čerešňák we absolutely will need him after the injury of Marinčin in this series earlier)

in our Extraliga final maybe 1 or 2 names can be considered to offer them a try in the camp,

and obviously in North-America (The NHL Play-offs where we have 2 guys we would really want to have in the team, defencers Martin Fehérváry and Erik "Drago" Černák, both are currently losing 0-1 in their respective series with their Washington and Tampa against NY Rangers and Florida),

plus there still the AHL Play-Offs which are strating right now, where we have 9 players involved, in case of eventual early exits there room to invite somebody to join the team as well

and Tomáš Tatar accepted the invitation as well

will have now 5 reinforcement from North American rinks Juraj Slafkovský, Šimon Nemec, Martin Pospíšil, Pavol Regenda and Tomáš Tatar

Pierre-Edouard Bellemare, Tomas Tatar, Philipp Grubauer, Andre Burakovsky, Jared McCann, Brandon Tanev, and Jamie Oleksiak all heading off to the #MensWorlds, per GM Ron Francis

6-7 other guys had the opportunity to go, but said no.
1 is being considered.#SeaKraken

Zdeno is on fire! (and a bit crazy, too )

 

he ran the Boston Marathon last Monday (and finished in 3h30mins) and then Yesterday he also ran the London Marathon, improving to 3h10mins

Sadly, it appears to be quite late for Paris 2024 though

Nah, he always was a monster and a true machine, I remember him doing regularly the Tour de France full mountains stages just for fun during summer preparation

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)

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.
