SLOVAK ROAD TO BEIJING 2022 - SLOVENSKÁ CESTA DO PEKINGU 2022 1st 25 Qualified Athletes MENS ICE HOCKEY NATIONAL TEAM - ICE HOCKEY (M TOURNAMENT) Slovenský hokej v ére samostatnosti na OH ešte nikdy nechýbal Hokejisti zvládli náročnú domácu skúšku a postúpili do Pekingu na ôsme ZOH v rade Hokejisti Slovenska nebudú chýbať v olympijskon turnaji ani na ôsmych zimných olympijských hrách v ére samostatnosti. Až do posledných minút finálového turnaja olympijskej kvalifikácie to síce bola dráma, čo sa aj očakávalo, ale napokon sa radovali z postupu na ZOH 2022 v Pekingu slovenskí hokejisti. K výhram 2:1 nad Rakúskom a 5:1 nad Poľskom pridali aj postupovú 2:1 nad Bieloruskom. Aj keď v prvom zápase kvalifikačného turnaja zdolali Poliaci nečakane Bielorusov 1:0, v Bratislave sa naplnil očakávaný scenár a o jedinú postupovú miestenku do Pekingu v priamom súboji bojovali Slováci s Bielorusmi. Domácim stačila na účasť aj remíza v riadnom hracom čase, hostia museli bezpodmienečne vyhrať. V elektrizujúcej atmosfére maximálne možne zaplneného hľadiska Zimného štadióna Ondreja Nepelu (7105 divákov) chceli obe strany postúpiť. V zápase bolo veľa tvrdých zákrokov, niektoré boli na hrane povoleného. Bielorusi agresívnou hrou, ktorú majú v krvi viacerí ich zámorskí rodáci a vyžaduje ju aj tréner Craig Woodcroft, rozbiť rytmus slovenskej kombinačnej hry. Aj Ramsay prežíval veľké emócie Slováci napokon zápas ustáli. Mali dobrý úvod, v ktorom strelil Peter Cehlárik gól v presilovke a potrestal zákerný faul pri mantineli na Juraja Slafkovského, a potom ukázali aj psychickú odolnosť. Nedali sa zbytočne vyprovokovať, hrali obetavo a správne čítali hru. Aj keď sa stala chyba, vedeli si pomôcť. Nespanikárili, keď Bielorusi prevzali v druhej tretine iniciatívu a vyrovnali. Trpezlivosťou podporenou hernou disciplínou napokon dokráčali k postupu, ktorý ešte spečatil gólom do prázdnej bránky Libor Hudáček. „Budete si myslieť, že po päťdesiatich rokoch v profesionálnom hokeji si poviem, že ma čaká len ďalší zápas, ale nie je to tak. Každý zápas je iný a v každom chcem urobiť maximum pre úspech. Stále mám v pamäti majstrovstvá sveta 2019 v Košiciach, kde sme viacero stretnutí dobre rozohrali, ale nedotiahli ich do víťazného konca. Tentoraz sa nám to v domácom prostredí podarilo a mám veľkú radosť. Nemôžem ani opísať všetky emócie, ktoré mnou prúdia. Je to fantastické, že som pomohol Slovensku k postupu na ZOH,“ povedal tréner Craig Ramsay, ktorý po postupe do Pekingu bude pokračovať pri mužstve do konca sezóny 2021/22 a predstaví sa s ním aj na majstrovstvách sveta vo Fínsku. Lídrami Konrád, Hrivík, Cehlárik, Gernát, Čerešňák a Hudáček V mužstve mu chýbali hráči, ktorí pravidelne nastupujú v NHL, avšak z tých, ktorých mal k dispozícii, dokázal namixovať zloženie, ktoré zvládlo kvalifikáciu. V bránke bol Branislav Konrád, ktorý dodával tímu istotu a podľa viacerých expertov bol najlepším mužom bratislavského turnaja. Lídrami mužstva boli Marek Hrivík, Peter Cehlárik, Martin Gernát a Peter Čerešňák, strelecky ho v každom stretnutí potiahol Libor Hudáček. V nej jeho zverenci ustupovali z pozícii a chvíľami hrali na náhodu. V kabíne počas prestávky im preto hovoril, aby do tretej dvadsaťminútovky dali všetko a išli na doraz. „Chalani mali ísť na maximum, aby ich deti mohli byť hrdé, že ich otcovia pomohli Slovensku k postupu. Keď sme dali druhý gól, snažil som sa ich upokojovať. Do konca bolo ďaleko a v hokeji sa môže stať čokoľvek,“ priznal Kanaďan, ktorý viedol Slovensko aj na olympijskom turnaji v Pjongčangu. Radosť v hráčskej kabíne i v hľadisku Súboj s Bielorusmi bol otvorený do posledných minút. Stačila jedna slovenská chyba, jedno zaváhanie, jeden inkasovaný gól a rozdané karty by sa úplne zmenili. „Máme veľkú radosť z postupu. Tri zápasy za štyri dni boli veľmi náročné. Nebolo ľahké sa za zopár dní zohrať a nastúpiť na prvý súťažný zápas bez jediného prípravného. Každý z nás si zastal svoju pozíciu. Teraz počas sezóny na prípravných turnajoch môžeme budovať tím pre Peking,“ povedal útočník Peter Cehlárik, ktorý pri gólovej strele v presilovke do bieloruskej siete využil skúsenosti zo spolupráce s Marekom Hrívikom z pôsobenia vo švédskom Leksande. Kapitán mužstva Marek Hrivík potvrdzoval líderské schopnosti na ľade i mimo neho. Spoluhráčov upokojoval, dával im cenné rady, na ľade odkorčuľoval veľké porcie minút, naskakoval v presilovkách i oslabeniach. Aj on si po poslednej siréne poriadne odfúkol. „Všetci sme prišli, lebo sme chceli vyhrať a postúpiť. Bola to veľká výzva. Našťastie sme sa dali za krátky čas dokopy a uspeli sme. Tlak, ktorý prináša boj o olympijské hry, je veľký. Zlepšovali sme sa každým zápasom. Verím, že tento tím môže niečo dosiahnuť aj v Pekingu,“ povedal Marek Hrivík. V tíme sa v pozitívnom svetle ukazovali aj mladíci. „Košíkari“ Juraj Slafkovský so Šimonom Nemcom zvládli svoje úlohy, výkonnostne ide nahor aj ešte nedávno junior Samuel Kňažko. „Mladí hráči sa znova posunuli. ‚Slavko‘ hral veľmi dobre, je dominantný na puku, je ťažké mu ho zobrať, vedel poslať spoluhráčov do šancí. Verím, že bude mať pred sebou úspešnú sezónu. Verím tiež, že sa neskôr dostane do klubu, ktorý mu dá šancu, a že ho čaká skvelá kariéra,“ uzavrel Hrivík, ktorého zo spoluhráčmi na záver kvalifikácie vytlieskalo zaplnené hľadisko. SOŠV

Bratislava Group Day 3 Highlights

ROAD TO BEIJING 2022 Slovaks off to the Games The 12th and final men’s ice hockey berth at the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing went down to the wire between Slovakia and Belarus. Before a sometimes delirious, often nervous, partisan crowd of 7,105 – the maxim allowed under public health regulations – at Bratislava’s Ondrej Nepela Arena, Slovakia won 2-1 to gain the spot. In fact, Slovakia only needed one point to gain the spot, and that’s essentially what they got, with Libor Hudacek scoring the game-winning goal into an empty net as Belarus went for it all in the late going. With the stakes so high, it’s no surprise that the teams came out full of energy, but Belarusian defenceman Sergei Sapego got carried away when he checked Juraj Slafkovsky from behind into the boards at 4:05. Sapego was assessed a major penalty and game misconduct and put enormous pressure on his team’s penalty-killing units, which had already had to kill off one penalty early on. It took little time for the Slovaks to strike, with captain Marek Hrivik from the blueline setting up former Leksands IF linemate Peter Cehlarik for the one-timer that beat Danny Taylor over the glove to the near side. There was still 4:27 to go in the five-minute penalty, but if there was any relief for Belarus, it was that a double-minor for high-sticking to Adam Ruzicka negated the last 2:03 of the major. Slovakia outshot Belarus 18-6 in the opening period but, thanks to the netminding of Taylor, it remained a one-goal game at the intermission. And just over a minute into the second period, the game was tied. Shane Prince spun away from a check in the corner and fed the puck out front, where a wild scramble ensued, and captain Yegor Sharangovich was apparently the last Belarusian player to touch the puck before it crossed the goal line. In general, the second period was played more cautiously than the first but there were chances – the best going to Slovakia’s Kristian Pospisil, who in the 28th minute blocked a shoot-in attempt at his own blueline and was off to the races. In alone on Taylor, he interestingly chose to wind up and take a slap shot, which didn’t fool the Belarusian keeper. The more time that passed, the less margin for error there was on either side, and the more nervous the fans in Bratislava became. As long as the game remained tied, Slovakia was okay, but just one goal against could put them in deep trouble and with each shot on Konrad, the Slovak fans held their collective breath. As the third period moved into its last five minutes, Belarus began taking more and more chances, and with under three minutes to go and play headed into the Slovak end, Craig Woodcroft decided to pull Taylor for a sixth attacker. The move backfired as the puck bounced out into the netural zone, Hudacek gained centre and fired the game-winning goal into the empty net with 2:17 to play. IIHF.COM
