Just passing here to say that Slovan Bratislava is "again" the Slovak national champion. They won their 9th title since the independance (the club was also 8 times champion of former Czechoslovakia, including the legendary title in 1992 - the last Czechoslovakian league season played) This time (even if I´m obviously far far far from being a fan of this club ) I must admit that it was in a really mentionable manner, already 6 rounds to go ! They have after todays win in Žilina 19 points advantage in the table, so 6 games left = 18 points max to achieve, it´s official they are champions. This summer they will represent us in Champions league qualifying round, let´s hope they will pass at least one opponent

Hungarian women earn historic promotion Host Hungary won the gold medals at the 2019 IIHF Ice Hockey Women’s World Championship Division I Group A in Budapest by only having one blemish on its record which was a shootout lose to Slovakia. They will be promoted together with second-ranked Denmark. “This is a sweet taste since there was tremendous pressure on the team. We played against some hard opponents as we battled for promotion, this is a great feeling right now. We needed to play as a team and not rely on two or three key players,” said Hungary’s head coach Pat Cortina after the last game, a win against neighbour Austria. Heading into the tournament there were no clear-cut favourites to win the group but it did make things easier that the top-two teams in the group were to move up to the top division with the new format and ten teams. Hungary and Denmark will replace Sweden and France for the 2020 IIHF Ice Hockey Women’s World Championship in Halifax, Canada. Everyone knew that a loss would not eliminate the chances of promotion but make things harder. When asked just about what their expectation were for the tournament, almost every head coach said the same. That they will be taking the tournament one game at a time but they feel that they have a team that can earn promotion to play in Halifax next year. Back to Budapest, the 2019 IIHF Ice Hockey Women’s World Championship Division I Group A started off with Denmark getting past Slovakia by the score of 3-1 thanks to a brace by Josephine Jakobsen. In the second game of the opening day Hungary just got past Norway 2-1 as Averi Nooren scored a goal and helped set up one as well. The opening day closed out with Austria cruising past Italy 4-1, Theresa Schafzahl closed out the match with two goals. All six teams were back on the ice the following day, Denmark got past Italy 6-1 as all six goals were scored by someone different. Hungary hit a road bump as they lost to Slovakia 2-1 in sudden death shootout. Norway squeaked out a one goal win in a game that produced nine goals in total. After the second day the two Scandinavian countries were sitting at the top of the standings. The teams enjoyed a day off on Tuesday before they were back to battle it out on Wednesday. It looked as if the day off did not help everyone as Norway, who was tied for first place, struggled to get past winless Italy with Denmark blowing a 2-0 lead and falling to Hungary 6-2. Hungary was able to turn the game around with a string second period where Fanni Gasparics scored two goals and helped set up another two. Austria needed overtime as they picked up two out of the three points against Slovakia. Through the first three games of the tournament every team had dropped points somewhere along the way. The host national of Hungary was sitting in first place with seven points with four other teams still having a chance at promotion. The second to last match day really brought the group picture into focus as Norway shut out Slovakia 4-0 thanks to the excellent play of Nystrom in net. Like Norway Hungary also wanted to take a step towards promotion, they did this by lighting up Italy by the score of 9-0. Aniko Nemeth had the shutout while Gasparics finished the game with five points. In somewhat of a surprise Austria put eight goals past Denmark in an 8-3 win. Heading into the final game day no team had locked up promotion. Denmark, Norway, Austria and Hungary all could have closed out the day with a top-two finish. In the first game of the day Slovakia just got past Italy by the score of 2-1. Denmark pulled off a bit of a surprise as they shut out Norway 4-0 thanks to two goals by Jakobsen and excellent play by Repstock-Romme between the pipes. With Norway losing to Denmark that meant that Hungary was through to the top division and Norway was out for sure. Now it was down to who would be joining the host nation. If Austria won, Austria would take the gold and Hungary the silver and Denmark the bronze. If Hungary won, then it would be Hungary taking the gold, Denmark the silver and Norway the bronze. In short, depending on the result Austria could finish first or fourth, go up or stay where they were. The final game of the tournament started out great for Hungary as Gasparics gave Hungary the lead 21 seconds into the game. Minutes later Austria also found the back of the net by a goal from Meixner. The game remained deadlocked at 1-1 until the third period when Bernadett Nemeth scored to make it 2-1. This would end up being the winning score as Hungary won promotion on home ice to the top division for the first time in history of the senior Women’s World Championship. “It also helped that before the game that we knew we had already won promotion because we did not have any pressure on us,” said the tournament's top forward Gasparics. “This being said, we always wanted to take home first place. I am very happy that the tournament went so well for me despite the hard season that I had. I always say that in the end truth always wins and we need to believe all the way until the end. In the end everything fell into place and we were able to close the season on a high note.” Denmark earned promotion to the Division I Group A for the first time. The country had a short stint at the top level when appearing in the first ever IIHF Ice Hockey Women’s World Championship back in 1992 where it finished in seventh place. Since reappearing in international women’s ice hockey in 1999, Denmark has played either at he second or third level of the program missing out on promotion by just one win in 2013. While Gasparics won the award as best forward, Charlotte Wittich of Austria won the vote for the best defender while Norway’s Ena Nystrom got the award as best goaltender. IIHF.COM

we´ll see what will happen. there some direct confrontations here and there that may be interesting for us, right now Boston-Toronto is pretty followed back in Slovakia as well with the likes of Chára and mainly Jaro Halák vs Martin Marinčin in the opposite site + Boston´s flop will slightly help to solve the Cehlárik problem if Providence lost to Charlotte in Calder Cup Play-Offs Anyway it´s still at the players themselves if they will accept the invitations and will want to play at the Worlds, but so far this year it looks like everyone want (for obvious reasons?)

Also Poland has it´s champion. GKS Tychy won the finals series 4-2 over Comarch Krakow. and the celebrations could started in Tychy
