About Slovak Extraliga, this will be the 25th season of Slovak National Ice Hockey championship and for the celebration of this anniversary there were 4 new features implemented for this season. the Fantasy League, the first ever Vysegrad Cup, the new All Star Weekend concept and live matches broadcasted in 2 TV channels altogether with the national public STV2 also the free slovak sport channel TV 213. "The biggest hit of the season will be the Fantasy League. It is an incredibly popular format, I am surprised that no one has ever started with it in Slovakia. The fan will have the opportunity to get acquainted with the players, which also increases the attractiveness of the live matches following, "Pro-Hockey Manager Richard Lintner said at a press conference in Bratislava on Wednesday and added: "I'm very excited, I'm going to take part in this event, I already have my team, so I'm curious as to how much I can do compared to other fans, and how much I understand to this sport ." In August started the Vysegrad Cup, where four Slovak and four Hungarian teams competed against each others. The winner will be decide on the January finals. In order to have better transparency, also the video judging system is changing: "like in the NHL, we have the so-called coaches challenge." The coach of each team may require a review of the disputed situation in the game, and if it turns out to be unfounded, it loses the right for the time-out. The video will also check every single goal, and thus assign the scorer of the goal and the assistant(s). Another major novelty is about the traditional All-Stars weekend system. In February, the Slovak extraliga all-stars will meet in Bratislava on a special All Star weekend with the all-stars of the Czech league, the All-stars of EBEL and the All-stars of the German DEL. Such a joint action has never been seen in hockey history. "It is a present for the 25th anniversary of the league, last year during the All-stars weekend I met my colleague from Czech Republic Josef Řezníček in Poprad and he was excited about the show, so we started to speak about this idea to organize this year a festive event in Bratislava." informs the Tipsport League Leader. More hockey in this new season will be to see also on TV screens. In addition to the traditional TV broadcasts on the public national broadcaster RTVS, the fans will be able to watch matches also on the TV 213 channel that will broadcast every Friday one selected Match. As part of the jubilee of the 25th year of the independent home league, they will be also many documents about legends, which have left an indelible mark on the Slovakian rinks. As well as the national hockey team of Slovakia, the National championship competition will be supported by a new partner, Kaufland. which also means the change of the name "Play Off Tipsport League will now be called Kaufland play off," concluded Lintner.

Imposed from IOC. After Sydney 2000 the situation of canoe slalom was probably the worst, in fact canoe slalom was (is and will be) always under threat, because the organizers for some reason try to build supermodern extremely expensive venues and the same thing happened with Athens 2004, the situation became so dramatic that there signs that the competitions will not even being held few moths before the start of the games, even ICF gave up, but only after immediate strong lobbying from SVK, CZE, FRA, GER and GBR ICF started to "fight" to save the sport. But then had to submit doing some compromises with IOC regarding huge reduction of quotas and in order to still have larger worldwide representation they created this rule 1 boat per country since Beijing... so because of this in Rio 2016 for example the canoe slalom competitions were without olympic champions Štěpanka Hilgertová, the Hochschorner Bros, Elena Kaliská, Emilie Fer world champions Vavřinec Hradílek, Jasmin Schornberg or as you know Boris Neveu etc..

I´ll say it this way, it´s not entirely fair to have for example a clean sweep in Beijing 2008 womens fencing sabre by USA but we didn´t had the chance to do it in the mens canoe slalom C1, I am not going to say that it would have happen for 100% but let say the truth in the 2008 year it definitely wasn´t impossible to happen. If they want this 1 per country rule so let do it in every sport then not only in some privileged sports with team events. Alexander Slafkovský one of the best canoe slalom C1 rider in the world in more than last decade, won almost everything but never had the chance to compete at the olympics just because we can send only 1 athlete in this event..and is not easy to beat names like Michal Martikán or Matej Beňuš in a internal qualification...same with the Škantár cousins they were always second behind the Hochschorner bros in C2, so they didn´t got the opportunity to compete under the 5 rings, they finally did it at 33 years old for Rio and in their first olympics they immediately won gold

Nice one yes the fans of the NT are very friendly and enthusiastic, they keep singing, jumping and supporting the whole match, the absolute opposite of our club how to call them "fans" thanks god they don´t care about the NT. btw did they sung "Macejko" ? the unofficial song of our football NT fans and congrats for the deserved win

Canadian Doug Mason is once again the new coach of the dutch men´s ice hockey national team http://www.iihf.com/home-of-hockey/news/news-singleview/?tx_ttnews[tt_news]=11996&cHash=60022265655da5c1083d336bffd0e609

Well it looked good for some.. what ..15-20 minutes but then turned on the engines and the level was absolutely clear. anyway I am still happy with this team actually, considering how rejuvenated it is (except Škrteľ and Ďurica) all others are still very young and inexperienced, with players like Lobotka, Škriniar or Rusnák we still can dream about bright future.

Stano Lobotka first ever Slovak scorer in Wembley

So this is the starting eleven for the match against three lions on the mythic Wembley. Quite interesting squad I must say, just pity Kozáčik injured so we have to field the second goalkeeper...but hopefully we will build a strong fortress with the Škrteľ/Ďurica wall behind Škriniar

Slovakia not even able to qualify for the finals...we clearly missed Erik Varga here, he with Zuzana Štefečeková are one of our very few big hopes for Tokyo

NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS 2017/2018 AUSTRALIA Melbourne Ice 4th League Title ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Melbourne Ice reign supreme Aussie champions cap season with Goodall Cup The Melbourne Ice have won the Goodall Cup for the fourth time in team history, after defeating the Canberra Brave 4-1 in the grand final of the Australian Ice Hockey League (AIHL). Chris Wong opened the scoring for the Ice in the first period in front of a sell-out crowd at the O’Brien Group Arena. The Brave equalised through Stephen Blunden in the second period before Sebastian Ottosson restored the Ice’s lead with 30 seconds left in the frame. Playoff MVP Ottosson then extended his side’s advantage in the third period and the Ice never looked back. Matt Armstrong sealed the championship on a breakaway to cap off a record-breaking season. Melbourne Ice captain Lliam Webster called the win one of the best he’s been a part of. “Words don’t do it justice. It’s amazing. We’ve been working hard all season and this is the perfect way to finish it. “This is such a great group of guys. To win it on Father’s Day and to see everyone with their kids on the ice after the game makes it that much more special.” Webster also lauded the effort of the Canberra Brave from the nation’s capital. “They’ve been a force to be reckoned with all year and they’re an incredibly hard team to play against. But we were able to weather the storm and we were able to bury a few,” he said. “I’m so proud of our guys and our whole organisation has been fantastic.” The Brave, who defeated the Perth Thunder 6-2 in their semi-final, had to settle for their second consecutive runners-up medal. Perennial playoff contenders, the Ice overcame local rivals Melbourne Mustangs 4-2 in their semi-final game. They have been to the final tournament every year since 2006, winning the Goodall Cup four times and runners-up twice. The Ice finished atop the standings with a record 22 wins from 28 games played. They won twice in overtime and only lost three games in regulation time all year. It was a well-rounded team effort, as they didn’t have a single scorer in the top 10 during the season, but had eight in the top-40 skaters, showcasing their incredible depth. Joseph Hughes led the team in scoring with 43 points and was the second-best scorer among Australian-born players. Goaltender Dayne Davis led from the crease, finishing the season with most wins and the best GAA of 2.33. Davis won his third consecutive Goodall Cup after transferring in the offseason from the Newcastle North Stars, who had won back-to-back championships in 2015 and 2016. “The first two were great accomplishments and this one was just the cherry on top,” said Davis. “We set records this season in almost every category and to come in with that weight on our shoulders and win was amazing. “It was tough leaving Newcastle, but I chose Melbourne for a reason. All the great players here was a big factor.” Retiring defenceman Paul Baranzelli was grateful to end his career with a Goodall Cup win. “I couldn’t ask for a better finish,” the 37-year-old Minnesota native said. “This year we finally got it done and I’d like to thank the fans for everything you’ve done.” After the win, coach Charles Franzen said the club’s mission had been accomplished. “We had a goal for the season, which was winning the last game of the year,” he said. “This team has been getting stronger and stronger from week to week.” “I want the thank all the supporters who come to the home games and travel with us to the away games. I’m really proud to say I’m part of this Melbourne Ice family.” Regular Season standings: 1. Melbourne Ice: 71pts 2. Perth Thunder: 57pts 3. Canberra Brave: 46pts 4. Melbourne Mustangs: 40pts 5. Sydney Ice Dogs: 36pts 6. Sydney Bears: 33pts 7. Newcastle North Stars: 30pts 8. Adelaide Adrenaline: 23pts Top scorers: 1. Benjamin Breault (Thunder): 58pts 2. Geordie Wudrick (Brave): 54pts 3.
