Now I find this as one rather pretty offensive post I must say

btw the funniest thing about this shit is that not a single second was actually shot in Slovakia. why that moron decided to name it Slovakia will be a unsolved eternal mistery for me

haha cool just to clarify, when you´ll order one, look at the ending of the word Biathlete. so in this case Biatlonista / Biatlonistka Biatlonista is for boys Biatlonistka is for girls

Austria does the unexpected It’s not too often that the IIHF Ice Hockey U20 World Championship Division I Group A tournament winner is decided by the first of three games on the last day of the tournament, but exactly that took place this very day when Austria successfully defeated Slovenia 4-1. And with that, a modern-day Cinderella story was completed. Austria is heading to the 2021 IIHF World Junior Championship in Alberta, Canada, where the cities of Edmonton and Red Deer will host the event. It’s been a long time coming for the Alp republic of Austria, as the program last participated in a WJC in 2010. Depending on the outcome of the 2020 World Juniors in the Czech Republic, Canada may be hosting a tournament that could have a decidedly German flair to it, as no less than two of Austria, Germany, and Switzerland will be participating, if not all three. In today’s all-decisive contest, Austria jumped out to a 2-0 lead over last place Slovenia with two late goals in the first period. But after a scoreless second period, things got interesting when a Maj Tavcar goal in the 53rd minute of play got Slovenia on the board, making things closer than anyone had expected. Max Rebering was able to get Austria’s fate back on track with a goal in the 56th minute and then Paul Huber potted his second of the day, and fourth of the tournament, into an empty net in the 59th minute to crown Austria’s fantastic - and indeed monumental - feat. “This simply feels outstanding!” stated Roger Bader, the Swiss-born Sports Manager of the Austrian Ice Hockey Federation who serves as team leader at the event in Minsk. “It feels like something we flat out earned. We came in knowing how we wanted to play here and that’s exactly what we did. We kept the course. We played the hockey we wanted to play. We did our thing and we were ultimately rewarded for it.” This sentiment was echoed by the team’s top scorer and assistant captain, Benjamin Baumgartner: “It’s simply fantastic! We battled our way through this tournament and came in with a game plan and ready to do everything necessary to win, from game to game. We saw in that first game against tournament favourite and host Belarus, that we were at the same level and the game could have gone either way. We had the lead on three separate occasions in the first period alone, but they were able to get the job done over the course of 60 minutes.” “After that though, our confidence soared and the victories over the Scandinavians put us on track. The 2-1 win against Latvia was then pivotal. It’s just amazing to think that Austria will now be playing at the World Junior Championship next winter!” The team’s promotion was due in no small part to Baumgartner’s efforts. Currently playing for HC Davos in Switzerland’s National League, where he has 17 points and a +10 in just 20 contests, Baumgartner proved he’s truly arriving on the international scene in a big way with five goals and 11 points in the five games played. This was good enough to be named Best Forward of the tournament. “I was just concentrated on giving it my all and being the best version of me I could be at this tournament,” Baumgartner explained. “Fortunately, I was able to contribute on the scoring sheet as well. This achievement has been a total team effort and nothing I’ve done would have been possible without my teammates. There are a lot of good players at this tournament and many of them could be thought of as the tournament’s MVP.” As humble as his words are, Sports Director Bader feels Baumgartner was rightfully seen as the tournament’s most outstanding forward: “He’s been playing for the Davos program in Switzerland for several years now and after playing a good third of last season for Davos in the National League last winter, he’s now broken through this year with a fantastic season on a scoring line. He’s one of the absolute best young players in the National League and has taken the steps necessary to learn how to play at the pro level and maintain a consistency there that can’t be taken for granted.” Beating the odds It’s safe to say that the international ice hockey community certainly wasn’t betting on Austria making its way to the 2021 IIHF World Junior Championship. Firstly, the country had to worry more about relegation in recent years than promotion. Then there was the fact that a heavily favoured host Belarus was coming into the tournament with a plethora of players who have either been drafted by an NHL club or seem to be a hot topic for NHL scouts - and this Team Belarus proceeded to defeat Austria 4-3 on the first day of the tournament. In addition, other opponents included Latvia and Denmark, each of whom had spent recent years playing against the world’s best on the top stage. Then, of course, gaining promotion wasn’t necessarily Austria’s main goal heading into the tournament. “We headed into the tournament with the goal of maintaining the class,” stated coach Marco Pewal. “As of our second victory, we started to notice that there was a shot at the top spot. I’m so proud of all of the players and all of our staff. They’ve done incredible work over the past few weeks.” “I can’t say that was expected or even our primary goal,” stated Bader, reinforcing his coach’s sentiments. “We wanted to keep things going as planned and take the next step in our program’s long-term development. With our first victory, we really laid it all out on the ice and saw what we were capable of. This gave us the type of confidence that makes anything possible. The team just got better from game to game. We were defeating teams that had played with the world’s elite in recent World Junior Championships. After Game 1, the boys simply never stopped getting the job done. This achievement is a huge success for the Austrian Ice Hockey Association.” Despite all that, matters were made more interesting by the absence of the country’s absolute top junior player, Marco Rossi, who wasn’t in Belarus to represent his country. Currently busy tearing things up for Ottawa in the OHL, he is felt to be a likely first-round draft pick next summer and surely more than a few NHL scouts in attendance would have loved to have seen what he could have done here. Bader provided an explanation: “The decision to not be part of Team Austria this year was Marco’s. He and his organization, agent, and family decided it was best for him to remain in the OHL and continue helping his team there in its endeavour to be the top team in that league. We respect his decision. He’s a special player with a very promising future, but we as a team and an ice hockey association naturally concentrated on getting the job done here with the players in uniform. That’s where our focus was at as soon as we knew he wasn’t an option.” Just missing out Finishing four points behind Austria was Latvia, which in many ways basically lost out on promotion by one goal. And that’s rough when that one goal difference was due to a 2-1 loss to Austria in regulation time in the team’s fourth game. Forward Janis Svanenbergs had eight points and a +7 in the tournament and led his team to a 3-1-1 record in the five games played. Janis Voris was named best goaltender with a 93.9% save percentage. Starting things off with a solid 3-0 victory against Denmark, a 3-2 overtime win over Belarus, and then a 9-1 thrashing of Slovenia, it looked like the Latvians were well on their way to gaining promotion back into the world’s elite. The Baltic nation had even taken a 1-0 lead over Austria at the six-minute mark of the game in what became the decisive tilt of the tournament. A Luis Lindner tally for Austria in the game’s 25th minute proved to be the game winner, and Latvia had to place its hopes entirely into the hands of the Slovenians to swing things back in their favour. Those hopes were all for naught. The 2-0 victory over Norway to conclude the tournament was too little too late as Austria had already wrapped up first place just minutes beforehand. Norway itself entered play with few expectations. Nary a team in the tournament was entering play with so many players from its own national ranks and only but a few players who are parked in neighbouring Sweden, a factor that has often been a strength for the “Nordmen”. Nonetheless, the 6-2 win over Slovenia to open the tournament already led to maintaining the class. The 3-2 and 1-0 overtime victories against Belarus and Denmark along the way were really nothing short of sensational. With only two regulation losses against the teams finishing 1st and 2nd, the Norwegians can head home for the holidays feeling good about what they were able to accomplish, even if their seven points were only good for 4th place at the tournament. Below expectations This tournament must be seen as a disappointment for Belarus, which not only hosted the tournament, but also played in front of crowds of over 6,000 spectators, with that number exceeding 7,000 on the tourney’s final day. It was also disappointing after the team had been the favourite in Fussen, Germany, last year at this time and couldn’t live up to expectations there. A good handful of this year’s players had brought that experience along with them. After all, the team entered the tournament with a roster consisting of 8 players currently playing Canadian juniors, 3 playing for Dynamo Minsk’s KHL squad, and another 3 playing pro hockey elsewhere in Belarus. On top of that, centre Alexei Protas and defenceman Vladislav Kolyachonok already have NHL contracts with Washington and Florida, respectively. It’s hard to imagine this team having come out on the short end of this many close games. Nonetheless, it finished 3rd overall. After a tight 4-3 victory over Austria in Game 1, where the team spent the last two periods overturning a 3-2 deficit, the team suffered through two straight 3-2 overtime losses to Latvia and Norway. The team’s 4-1 win against the offensively toothless Slovenes wasn’t anything to write home about and the final contest against the recently relegated Denmark sadly had no relevance whatsoever, as the tournament’s victor had long-since been decided. They nonetheless shot the frustration out of their souls with a 7-2 victory. And Ilya Solovyov earned the award as best defenceman. Speaking of Denmark, the little engine that somehow always could surprise in recent World Juniors was even more disappointing. Missing the types of exciting players who had played starring roles in recent years, the team had little to say in an initial 3-0 loss to Latvia and then underwhelmed in defeating Slovenia 2-1 in overtime. A 4-2 loss to Austria followed by a 1-0 shootout loss to eternal rival Norway had put the nail in the coffin before the final day’s dismantling by Belarus. The team’s star coming in was already drafted giant Mads Sogaard, who tends goal for Medicine Hat of the WHL. Alas, he wasn’t enough to alter Denmark’s fate, despite several decent outings. Against Belarus, he allowed four goals against in the first period before being replaced to kick off the second. On the way back down It was a tough tournament for Slovenia, which lost decisively 6-2 to Norway in the very first game. It answered with a very impressive 2-1 overtime loss to Denmark, leading viewers to believe that the team could still have a say in this tournament. Despite another strong performance for 55 minutes against Austria in the final game, the Slovenes never recovered the 9-1 shellacking at the hands of Latvia in Game 3 of the tournament, which was then followed by a 4-1 loss to Belarus shortly thereafter. Scoring only six goals in five games certainly didn’t help the cause and the program will need to regroup its program one rung down in alignment. Recipe for success It wasn’t too long ago that Austria hosted this tournament and looked pretty impressive before bowing out to a Rodrigo Abols-led Latvian side that managed to gain promotion. And the program learned from - and has reacted to - that experience. “There are reasons for our success this year though,” states Bader. “We’ve intensified things throughout our program over the course of the past four years, in a number of ways. Our players have been facing nations like Norway, Denmark, Latvia, and Belarus since the U16 level. They’ve come to learn how to beat these teams. In addition, a number of our players have been playing in foreign countries, having profited from the style of training and level of competition there.” The achievement is one that will be making waves in the Austrian sports scene. The Austrian association’s President Gernot Mittendorf was naturally ecstatic about what had taken place. “I must say congratulations to the entire team, both the players and the staff. This is a gigantic achievement for the sport of ice hockey in Austria. I am so very happy for our very young coaching staff, which is now enjoying this accomplishment in what is only its second year on the job. Furthermore, this is a success for everyone who is involved in Austria’s youth programs, as they too have ultimately helped make this a reality. For this, we are very thankful.” The big question heading into next year’s World Juniors, one that many teams moving up have to face, is maintaining the level of play provided by the players who will have aged out of next year’s event, many of whom were very much responsible for gaining promotion in the first place. “About half of this year’s team will be eligible to play in the World Junior Championship next season. Nonetheless, a very good crop of players will be moving out of this age bracket and it will be up to a new wave of players to step up to the plate. The next generation is going through the same steps this generation has, but doesn’t currently look to be as good as the group heading out. Still, there’s plenty of time and we’ll be focussed on having a competitive World Juniors team next winter, one that will be intent on remaining in the world’s top tier. This aspect is definitely part of the challenge,” says Bader. Like was the case this past week, that’s certainly a challenge the Austrian program is more than ready to take on! IIHF.COM

ROAD TO BEIJING 2022 2nd QUALIFYING ROUND Group M --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Croatia’s revenge Croatia beat Serbia 2-1 on home ice in Sisak thanks to a late goal from Luka Mikulic. With the victory the Croats won the 2019 Olympic Qualification Preliminary Round 2 Group M and advance to the third round. “The goal was but a moment in the game. It’s a nice feeling. It was a tough game but we were better,” said Mikulic, who scored three goals in the tournament. It was a game full of scoring chances and power plays in which Croatia outshot the Serbs 31-29. Vilim Rosandic was another key player for Croatia with 28 saves and a tournament-leading 95.35% save percentage. Croatia vs. Serbia was the anticipated deciding game for the tournament win. The two neighbouring countries faced little resistance against Bulgaria and Turkey in their first two games and knew which game mattered the most for the tournament win. Tournament win, neighbours, mixed history, and a lot of known faces since the best Croatian and Serbian clubs play in the same league. There was certainly no extra motivation needed for the players. Croatia historically had the upper hand in these clashes and is ranked one place better in the IIHF Men’s World Ranking, however, Serbia won its only official men’s national team game against Croatia just last April when it hosted the 2019 IIHF Ice Hockey World Championship Division II Group A on home ice in Belgrade. The Serbs earned the tournament win and promotion back then. The Croats perfectly avenged that loss by winning on home ice and advancing in the Olympic Qualification campaign. Serbian repeat or Croatian revenge – both teams were looking to deliver the answer early on and had their scoring chances. It was the Croats who delivered first and last. Tadija Miric brought the puck into the Serbian zone, dropped it to Ivo Kaleb who sent it towards the net from a sharp angle. There Miric was on the spot to open the scoring at 6:09 of the opening frame. The Serbs were not without scoring opportunities either and opportunities knocked in the 10th minute when both Miric and Fran Srketic were in the penalty box. However, the Croats were well organized and killed that penalty without dangerous moments. Otherwise the Croatian hosts were mostly in charge of the first period and gave Serbian goalie Arsenije Rankovic hard work. The Serbs increased their forechecking in the second period and had two power plays but the Croats continued to defend well. Eventually their work and patience paid off with 48 seconds left in the period. In a face-off at lightning speed by Serbia’s first line, Srdijan Subotic won the puck battle in the neutral zone, passed to his right winger Mirko Dumic at the blue line who fed a breaking away Nemanja Vucurevic, who tied the game at one to the joy of the small contingent of Serbian supporters among the 989 fans at the arena in Sisak. Serbia started with an advantage in the third frame. After Stjepan Cizmadija was sent to the sin bin for a late hit, he was soon joined by a teammate due to a penalty for too many players on the ice. The Serbs took their time-out for the 56 seconds of 5-on-3, however, the Croats also killed that penalty. After a tripping call against Mikulic, Mirko Dumic had the next opportunity for Serbia with a penalty shot but his attempt went wide. The Croats were the next to have a two-man advantage in the eighth minute but also the Serbs did a good job killing penalties. With five minutes left in regulation time the Croats again had the chance to play more than one-and-a-half minute 5-on-3 but also these penalties remain unused. The teams defended their nets heroicly when they were a man short, it was the more simple situations with open space that created goals. With 2:25 left Croatia’s Mikulic and Dominic Rene Canic attacked along the right board. Mikulic passed Canic, got the puck back close to the crease and slid the puck past Rankovic. Like the four previous times, Croatia will play in the second-last round of the Olympic Qualification also for Beijing 2022. Their venue will be known once the other groups are over and will depend on the three qualifiers for the next round and the position in the 2019 IIHF Men's World Ranking. Possible options are travelling next door to Jesenice, Slovenia, in February or the group in Nur-Sultan, Kazakhstan. More will be announced later on IIHF.com IIHF.COM

ROAD TO BEIJING 2022 2nd QUALIFYING ROUND Group L --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Group L showdown abandoned The decisive game in 2019 Men’s Olympic Qualification Preliminary Round 2 Group L between host nation Spain and the Netherlands has been cancelled due to problems with the ice surface at the arena in Barcelona. Now there will be further discussions within the IIHF sports office and a decision on how the group is to be resolved will be announced in the coming days. The tournament chairman Franz Reindl and representatives of both competing teams agreed to defer a decision pending further discussions. The game started as planned on Sunday evening, but a problem while cleaning the ice caused a large hole in the face-off circle to the right of the net defended by the Spaniards in the first period. The game officials gave as much time as possible to try to solve the problem but at 23:00 local time, two-and-a-half hours after play stopped, it was clear that it would be impossible to complete the game on the night. After 20 minutes of play, the original game was scoreless. Spain and the Netherlands are currently tied on six points after two games each. If the Dutch win and take top spot in the group, they will go to Group H in Nur-Sultan, Kazakhstan, to face Poland, Ukraine and the Kazakhs. A Spanish victory would send the tournament host to Jesenice, Slovenia to play in Group G against Japan, Lithuania and the Slovenes. IIHF.COM

ROAD TO BEIJING 2022 2nd QUALIFYING ROUND Group K --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Romania progress in Olympic Qualification A trip to Great Britain awaits Romania after blowing away their opponents during the 2019 Men's Olympic Qualification Preliminary Round 2 Group K playing on home ice in Brasov. They sealed their progress to the next round after crushing Iceland 10-1 in the showdown for top-spot in the group K. With its head coach and half of the roster from Corona Brasov, the Romanian national team celebrated their victory in front of 1,200 at Olympic Ice Hall in Brasov on Sunday night. With three straight wins, 43 goals scored and only three conceded, progress was never in doubt. Romania will next compete at the 2019 Men's Olympic Qualification Preliminary Round 3 Group J in Nottingham, Great Britain. Played between 6-9 February 2020, they will take on hosts Great Britain, Hungary and Estonia. "We are very excited. We are always really nice to play against much better teams than yourself. I am really looking forward to it because I am pretty sure it will be a big arena and a lot of fans, British fans are also really loud, so it will be a really nice experience. It´s also a really good way to prepare for the World Championships," said Romania´s captain Roberto Gliga. Eight different scorers with four goals scored in power play sealed a convincing victory against Iceland in Group K. Tournament top-scorer Balazs Peter tallied 2+3. Zsombor Molnar had two goals and an assist, while blueliner Attila Goga and forward Csanad Fodor both got a goal and two assists each. During the 2017 IIHF Ice Hockey World Championship Division II Group A in Romania´s Galati, Iceland had blanked Romania in a shock 2-0 victory. Kristjan Kristinsson was one of Iceland´s scorers during that memorable win. Two and half years later, he once again faced Romania who since moved up to another level and is now in Division IA while Iceland play in Division IIB "It was hard, really hard tonight. They are used to play a lot of games. We in Iceland play a 16-game league, so the stamina is different. Romania was really strong on the puck. They were just really good," said Kristinsson. Despite having scoring 33 goals against Israel and Kyrgyzstan during Olympic Qualification in Brasov, the Romanian team had been slow in getting into gear during their two previous games. Against Iceland, they had to wait until 11:11 before they got their opener. Former forward turned defenceman, Pavlo Borysenko unleashed a wrister from the blueline right at Iceland´s bench which found its way past a screened Dennis Hedstrom in the Iceland net. Iceland´s Bjarki Johannesson was serving a two-minute minor when less than four minutes left of the frame Anton Butochnov poached in front of the net from a Fodor feed. Peter tapped home 3-0 and soon after scored his second of the evening 23 seconds before the buzzer for the first intermission. Gliga cheekily tapped the puck forward when winning the draw and hit a pass across the crease to Peter for slot home Romania´s fourth unanswered strike. Iceland who during yesterday´s day off had paid a visit to Dracula´s castle in nearby Bran, showed little bite during the middle frame as Romania steamed ahead. Molnar added Romania´s fifth at 22:55 before Romania converted on three straight powerplay goals. At 29:04 Goga lifted in 6-0 from the slot after Hedstrom had made the initial save. Romania´s seventh came just over two minutes later. Goalie Patrik Polc got an assist, as he picked out Peter waiting on the offensive blueline who fed the puck to Molnar who converted. Yevhen Yemelianenko then boomed home a one-timer from the top slot for number eight at 37:33. Heading into the third period, Romania continued to win their battles and kept pressing Iceland in their own zone. Eduard Casaneanu and Balazs Gajdo both had attempts in the slot before Fodor fired home 9-0 at 45:53. Fodor then weighed up his options behind Hedstrom´s net, picked out an onrushing Vitali Kirichenko who hit home via the post for double digits at 51:16. Iceland netted a late consolation when Kristinsson won a battle along the boards with Yemelianenko as Egill Birgisson ruined Polc´s shutout bid with 2:45 left of the game. With an intensive league schedule ahead, Romania now keep fingers crossed that their current crop of players will stay injury-free ahead of the next round of Olympic Qualifiers. In Nottingham they also hope to be boosted by Daniel Tranca who missed the Iceland game due to illness as well as Tamas Reszegh and Szilard Rokaly, a duo who played a key role when Romania won gold at the 2019 World Championship Division IB. For Iceland, their young team will leave Romania richer in experience as a big season continues for Icelandic hockey with both the 2020 Men´s World Championship Division IIB and the 2020 Women´s World Championship Division IIB being hosted in Iceland later on this season.

Impossible to play, there literally deep holes in the ice The speaker just announced the match will continue tomorrow at 10:00 AM local time from the 2nd period

Apparently the break will last 1 more hour and the 2nd period should start around 23:00 we are going to have a sleepover match here

look like the guy is testing the ice with throwing the puck here and there if the puck can actually move

apparently the delay will last another 30 minutes before a short warm-up and then "perhaps" the 2nd period will resume. this match may finish really late tonight @heywoodu any info in dutch medias about the situation ? lool Nou Camp is for football, defintely not set for ice hockey

Some serious ice troubles in Barcelona, the break between 1st and 2nd periods last now more than 30 minutes and they are still not able to solve the problem
