Money. Put in and invest a lot of money, bring foreign experts who will rebuild everything and create a long-term real plan. Better management work To increase the media coverage of hockey, it will not work without it. It is clear that it is difficult in Italy, competing with all the other significantly more (many many many other) popular (and successful) team sports in the country is probably an impossible task. (in our country it is easier, hockey is basically the number one national sport, it fullfil daily all newspapers and TV news first pages and headlines, but it obviously work at the expense of other team sports which are unpopular and poorly attractive here) however, as I said it is vital to reach greater public interest, a big popularity will result in great media coverage, increasing the number of children participating in this sport, bigger interest of young players will open questions of forming specialized hockey schools and various hockey specialized centers led by foreign and local hockey coaches and experts this result in a higher number of better and skilled young talents and then find the best of them and send them to northern Europe, Sweden and Finland are European powers in work with youth hockey players. At the same time, a larger base increases logically also the interest of overseas scouts, a higher probability of talents who will then receive chances and go to play and study the game in North America, etc... It will never work without money and media coverage. There is, of course, also easier path. the path of naturalizing North Americans with Italian roots, this may bring a quick result and success of course, but it is not a systematic project, and after their departure, everything can return to oblivion. but again, I admit in Italy it may be hard to create such project, I expect almost every italian kid to dream about becoming a footballer rather than a sport they probably even never heard about. (here many kids dreams about playing the NHL that is the difference and what I said earlier, the hockey culture of the country. Slovaks are generally not interested on basketball, handball, water polo etc... but start the day with watching ice hockey results and news from different leagues etc...) It is how it is. Anyway, we moving rather far off topic, so back to this, good luck here and I still think Italy has chance to avoid relegation, nothing is set, there still 3 matches for your girls in Riga and anything can happen.

That´s hockey depth and culture. Look, in 2010 we were at the Olympics (8 NOCs only participated) around that we played the Elite division worlds, our team entered the guiness book of records thrashing opponents right and left (Bulgaria 82-0) and look now, we are in the Division I B (pool C in normal words) the generation that came after Vancouver to now was bad, we had to wait for this new generation girls to grow a bit, this team here (and the one which was relegated last year) is the youngest ever (and still missing the youngest of them and the most famous Nela Lopušanová because age restriction, she can play the worlds seniors only from next year - and that will be something ! ) Now with this new-team we build and hope and aim the qualification for the Olympics 2030. So let see how it will work, still a long way to go though... Last year was a anomaly. First we were preparing for the worlds in April then IIHF and China who had the host rights decided to move the tourney to August, our players did not play for a month before the tournament since all their competitions were finished, they were once again too young and inexperienced from interantional play, which we saw when they holded and managed poorly the main part of the matches in Shenzhen, resulting in sorrowful defeats to teams like Netherlands, Norway and so which we expected to beat, the whole atmosphere and quite bad luck in some moments of the games resulted in very embarassing relegation to pool C, where we are this year, and honestly, there no excuses, this is not our level and we do not belong here, anything else than promotion will be a total and epochal fiasco. Young team or not. They have only one task, move up to pool B for neyt year

This is simply embarassing to have to play in this ! So sad and frustrating to watch our hockey playing such adversity. Two totally one-sided games In other hands kudos to Slovenian goaltender, one of the best goaltending performance I have seen in my life. The girl looked like she will probably die on the ice, she was constantly facing shots and made PLENTY of miraculous saves, if not her, we would have surely won by double digit... I mean she made 71 saves this afternoon
