Women's Ice Hockey Final Olympic Qualification

I'm not an expert like he is, but personally, I'm a bit sceptical. Sure, it's incredible that we've made it to the final qualifying round (and avoided Sweden), but the girls played against Germany and Austria some time ago, and you could see the difference. They played well, no doubt, but it was obvious. That said, it’s been done before, so why not hope for a surprise and aim to have 50 athletes from Slovakia qualified with a year still to go?

Not just another goal, she did the Michigan again

Did Russia take over  again? :P

I have to give a ton of credit to Japan. They played tough against Norway and Denmark... I doubt anyone expected that.

And Denmark avoids a scare and wins it in overtime

Here is a connection to the link.  Just scroll down to the group you wish to see.  All 6 games are their for each of the  3 groups

Also on IIHF.com. I watched all 6 games there

Less then 24 hours away. I can't wait... I do see they switched the streaming to IIHF.com instead of You Tube

I see some rosters already showing up on elite prospects:
 
 Austria
 

 
 France
 

 
 Norway
 

 
Kazakhstan and Slovenia are showing rosters of 24 players so not sure if they're complete yet.

here you can find all the Latvian TV channels (and some Russians, too)
 
this is the TV channel that has the TV rights for Tomorrow and Monday's warm-up games and for the OQT involving Latvia (TV6):

Also played last night a test game againts club Herning.
 
The Blue Foxes won 4-3 after Overtime
 

 

Sorry I have never found the ability to see the Latvia games. I assume you might be referring to the two vs Denmark.  Sadly Denmark is another i have not found yet. However honestly i looked for Denmark far less then i did Latvia.

GREAT news! 
 
All of the matches for the Olympic Qualifier will be live-streamed on IIHF YouTube, free of charge!
 
https://youtube.com/@iihf?si=8z-RCFsnSOCqWmQy
 
For all non-competing countries at least, pretty sure it won’t be streamed for all, some probably have rights to their matches or the whole event through various broadcasters and streaming services. 
 
Iesim Latvija !!  (Šilovs & Bługers in particular)
