the state of the highest alert (eventual mobilization) should last until this evening around 22:00. But the situation is already calmer than yesterday, it was really a crazy evening, an extremely exhausting day. I also think that so, I am even pretty sure more Swedish teams would be able to handle in the KHL without difficulty, Frolunda would surely keep it easily in the top half of the table.

oh, the lucky peoples meanwhile here we have highest alert emergency until tomorrows night because of extremely strong wind since ths morning ... the whirlwind even smashed the window on one moving train, overturning cars and trucks from this morning. literally pull down trees and street lamps in the big cities like the last pics from Bratislava, the gusts should last until tomorrow evening as predicted.

The only two citizens of the Slovak Republic, who were in Wuhan, were transferred to Slovakia yesterday after their Czech plane landed with 5 Czech citizens 2 days ago in Prague. (yeah we ask often a help here and there from our big brothers ) Both are currently in quarantine in Banská Bystrica hospital special department of infectology. Within 48 hours the results of their tests will be known, but so far both looks to be in good condition and show no signs of acute respiratory disease

Korean juniors bounce back Offence wins games, defence wins championships. Korea’s juniors showed that they have absorbed that lesson with a perfect record on home ice at the 2020 IIHF Ice Hockey U20 World Championship Division II Group B. In a high-scoring tournament, the Koreans managed a solid 20 goals – but allowed just six to freeze out the opposition and win all five at the Gangneung Hockey Centre, host venue at the 2018 Olympic Winter Games. Not surprisingly, goalie Hyung Chan Kim was a key figure. He stopped 94.17% of the shots he faced for a GAA of 1.07. His shutout in the 1-0 win over China was pivotal: had that game gone the other way, the gold medals may well have gone with it. But Kim kept the Chinese at bay, and Minwan Kang’s goal midway through the second period was enough to secure the verdict. Kim, 19, is one of the youngsters benefitting from opportunities to play outside of Korea. After beginning the season on the books at Anyang Halla, a leading Korean team in the Asia League, he has since taken up an opportunity to play in the Czech Republic with Hvezda Prague in the fourth tier. Another player with experience in Central Europe is defenceman Maejin Lee. He had two seasons in Slovakia with MHK Dubnica and was named an alternate captain for this, his first tournament at U20 level. The 19-year-old has also made four appearances for the Korean men’s national team. In Gangneung he was the pick of the blue liners: 6 (2+4) points and a +10 rating – the best in the tournament – from his five appearances. Not only did Lee impress in defence, he also produced a crucial goal in Monday’s victory over Croatia. Although Korea ultimately finished six points clear of the pack with a 100% record, it still had a job to do in Monday’s final game against Croatia. Defeat would have given the visitor top spot and denied the host nation an instant return to Division IIA after relegation a year ago. The early stages went according to plan, with Jinhyuk Mun’s fourth-minute goal putting Korea in front. But Croatia would not be shaken off so easily. The score was still 1-0 at the second intermission, and Sven Paulovic tied the scores at the start of the third. The teams traded two more goals before Lee potted the game-winner on 52:13. It was a little bit special as well: the defenceman collected the puck from his own goalie and set off down the ice. Evading two opponents in the left-hand channel, he moved inside and fired off a wrister from between the hashmarks to spark huge celebrations from his team-mates. A late effort from Hyosuk Kim sealed a 4-2 victory as Korea claimed gold on home ice. While Korea was all about defence, the Netherlands and Croatia boasted some impressive firepower. Both countries scored more than 30 goals in their five games, and both were bolstered by big wins against an Israel team that found the competition tough in Gangneung. The Dutch won 16-1 and went on to take silver; Croatia had a 13-0 verdict and supplied the two leading scorers in the tournament. Dominic Canic was nominated top forward after posting 16 (4+12) points from five games; Leo Selitaj wasn’t far behind with 14 (6+8). China, too, overwhelmed the Israelis on its way to a bronze medal. All three countries were tied on nine points. At the bottom, Israel finished dead last after allowing 50 goals in its five games. Belgium came fifth by virtue of its 4-1 victory over the Israelis on Monday morning. IIHF.COM

Magic moment for Spain Spain scored three first-period goals in just 3:19 and never looked back, defeating Turkey 7-0 to win the gold medal at the 2020 IIHF Ice Hockey U18 Women’s World Championship Division II Group B tournament. It was a slice of history in Mexico City on Sunday. The 2020 IIHF Ice Hockey U18 Women’s World Championship Division II Group B is the newest addition to the IIHF calendar. The inaugural four-team tournament, featuring a round-robin and playoff stage, took place at the Santa Fe Ice Rink in the Centro Santa Fe shopping mall. In the gold medal game, unbeaten Spain left no doubt in the first period, outshooting Turkey 18-2. First, Judit Pareja capitalized during a goalmouth scrum at 11:22. At 14:03, Berta Garcia beat Turkish starter Azra Sert with a quick shot off the rush for a 2-0 lead. Then tournament scoring champ Haizea Fernandez de Roma (8+1=9) got loose in front and deked past the goalie at 14:41. This wasn’t an entirely surprising scenario, given that the undefeated Spanish girls had hammered Turkey 9-0 in their earlier round-robin meeting. Next, Laura Gil scored midway through the second period. Third-period goals by Eva Airzpurua and Sofia Argote made it 6-0 with just under 10 minutes to go. Gil added her second goal and third point of the night to round out the scoring for coach Harold Jay Rozenholtz’s troops. Final shots were 47-7 for Spain. For the Spanish federation, led by IIHF Life Member Frank Gonzalez, it’s an important step forward for their U18 women’s program. Spain is home to fewer than 230 female players in total. The Spanish U18 women made their IIHF debut just three years ago when the Basque city of San Sebastian hosted a Division I Group B qualification tournament. The silver medal also represents a confidence-builder for the Turks. They’ve made progress since being outscored 21-0 at last year’s Division I Group B qualification tournament in Spain. In the bronze medal game, the host Mexicans gave their supporters something to cheer about, marching to a 6-3 win over New Zealand. There was lots of leadership on display, as Mexican captain Samantha Nevarez and New Zealand captain Beth Scott scored two goals apiece. Mexico’s Luisa Vinals had a goal and three assists as the game’s leading points-getter. Between the pipes, the biggest story of the tournament was New Zealand’s Lilly Forbes. Even though the Kiwis finished last with five consecutive losses, the 16-year-old Canterbury Devilettes netminder stood on her head with a whopping 217 stops on 234 shots for a 92.7 save percentage. She was named Best Goalie. Forbes dazzled with 81 saves in a 6-1 round-robin loss to Spain. She nearly pulled off a significant upset with 67 saves in a 2-1 semi-final loss in overtime to Spain. It was all about perseverance and dedication for everyone on coach Angelique Mawson’s team, which competed shortstaffed in multiple games due to illness. Spain earned promotion to the 2021 IIHF Ice Hockey U18 Women’s World Championship Division II Group A. All the participants in Mexico City can be proud of their role in growing the women’s game worldwide. IIHF.COM
