3 Years !

 

Three freaking years since our U18 has been relegated from the 2019 Championship.

 

Nobody was even a bit worried, since just in 2020 came a new generation of 03/04 and 05, probably the best ever in all our history, guys around Slafkovský, Dvorský, Mešár, Petrovský, Nemec, Molnár are all enormous talents...

 

Sadly anyone of them did not have the chance to return back our U18 among the elite and play there for medals for all this time, because both 2020 and 2021 Division I A tournaments were cancelled due Covid.

 

Now the majority of them are 18 and this is their last year in this age category, but instead of playing the Top Division in which, yes, they would be a candidate for medal. They are stuck in inferior division...

 

and what is even more sad, even if the tournament is at home, many of them will miss this tourney. The most notable absence are for sure

 

Slaf with his TPS Turku won yesterday 7th match of :FIN Quarterfinals and will  play the Semifinals next week

Šimon Nemec and Sýkora both advanced with Nitra to the :SVK Semifinals + Filip Mešár was injured in game 6 of the Nitra-Poprad serie and his start in the tournament is dubious.

 

Anyway Slovakia still should succeed in this Tournament at home, Tickets are already almost sold out for our games (2 Teams will advance).

 

The Goal is obviously the Promotion, The Ambition is to Win the Tournament with full 15 points.

Šimon Nemec and Adam Sýkora will play in the match against Norway :) Their HK Nitra (Semifinalist of our Championship) agreed to release them only for the Tuesday´s match.

 

Also there still one place vacant in the roster for Juraj Slafkovský, if his TPS Turku will be eliminated in the :FIN league Semifinals in 4 matches he will arrive to Slovakia and play the last 2 games against Denmark and Kazakhstan.

 

But even without them this roster should win this tournament.

Quite easy Dalibor Dvorský tonight with 2+1 :) Our next year huge NHL Draft prospect

 

Tonight he scored even while falling to ice :p

 

 

Anyway, pretty impressed by Japanese players, this was very level hockey from them, really fast skaters, definitely did not made it easy to our guys at all, was not expected this, maybe Japan is not the worst team in this tournament at the end

Quite unusual Thing really happened : :d

 

Two players were added to the roster today, but will play only one match and then return to their club for Tomorrow´s National Championship 3rd Semifinal Match between their HK Nitra and HKM Zvolen.

 

But it is nobody else than this year NHL Draft Top 10 prospect Šimon Nemec and his talented team mate Adam Sýkora whom arrived today from Nitra to help the team, they will play only this one game tonight against :NOR :p

 

 

 

Also the game against Norway is sold out, so up to 3000 people in the stands probably Tonight :) Yesterday they were some 500 free seats against Japan :(
