Several teams from Division I Group A have agreed to play a tournament as a replacement of the canceled event due to the covid-19 pandemic. As you know, IIHF have cancelled all lower division Tournaments for the 2nd consecutive year.

 

Meanwhile Slovenia came with the idea to invite all other Division I A opponents and play a "unofficial" Division I A tournament which they decided to call : "Beat Covid-19" Tournament.

 

Majority of teams agreed, only :KOR and :HUN withdrew, so The host Slovenia invited :POL and :UKR from Division I B.

 

All 6 Teams will play in a traditional Division I Group A format Round-Robin, Everyone playing everyone once.

 

The winner of the tournament however, will not qualify for the next year Top Division, and last team will not be relegated to Division I Group B neither.

Change in the schedule

 

Due to the delay in the arrival of Ukrainian equipment, the match between Poland and Ukraine has been postponed to 22.45. The game will end around 1 AM :lol:

And the match has been postponed again to an uncertain date. The equipment of :UKR team is apparently still somewhere in Frankfurt :lol:

How do they plan to 'beat covid-19' with an ice hockey tournament? :p

covid-19 beat hockey last year cancelling all tournaments and this year the lower divisions were cancelled again. Teams from Division I A (Especially Slovenia) said a big: Enough is enough ! and decided to organize a replacement tournament using the same IIHF WCh rules (anthem only of winner of the match after the game etc..), format of 5 day matches round-robin and scheduling like a "normal" division I A tournament. Other teams accepted (remember, these teams are also preparing for August Olympic qualifiers, so they need matches like this) only Hungary and S. Korea sadly withdrew, so Poland and Ukraine from Division I B were invited to replace them and both agreed.

    • Apparently this season will be last one in Kamil Stoch career if his results wont be enough good for his standards.
    • Such a nice one for Colturi ! That was fun. It almost looked like a script with the cameras focusing on Colturi a couple of times before her first run and showcasing the potential of youngster and she didn't disappoint.      I hope Colturi skis for Albania forever. So much fun to cheer her with the Albanian flag.    I don't get it why everyone is being so critical of Colturi, you got no right to criticize a personal decision, as most European nations use imported athletes in many sports like wrestling and cheer them on like their.   Would you spend hours criticizing Frank Chamizo for switching to Italy rather than playing for Cuba?

    • It may also be that Ceccerelli saw that the conditions in the Italian youth teams were very poor and that is why she insisted on setting up her own team (the results of young Italian skiers unfortunately confirm this). A private team will always be better than a team with 10-12 skiers with max. 3-4 coaches, a one doctor and a physiotherapist. Colturi is the only skier in her team and she has several coaches, a masseur, a doctor etc. Of course, it costs money, but since the parents are famous and have money + Red Bull got involved. I don't understand why she can't start for Italy again? Red Bull should care more that Colturi starts in Cortina under the Italian flag than the Albanian one + Red Bull, as a brand, always has a bigger sales market in Italy with a population of 60 million than in small Albania. I hope that this can still be reversed by next year. For this we need talks between the federation + Colturi's parents + Red Bull + possibly the Italian Olympic Committee. Colturi may be a skier equal to Brignone or even better in the future. We can't lose her, so we have to do now!
    • I`m very disappointed with this weekend. Only becouse of Ghiotto form I`m happy. Unfortunately, the women's team will not function well if Lollobrigida skips most of the training camps and Fontana starts alternately in short tack and long track. It will end with her not winning any medals here or there, because it`s already clear that it will be very difficult to achieve good results in long track. I hope that she understands this, because in short track she has a real chance of winning medals in the women's relay and the mixed relay but in long track not.
    • Tragic performance of the Italian women's team - last place and probably something bad happened at the start. There are so few starts in the team that it will be a problem to even qualify for the World Championships - 8 best teams. After Lollobrigida's return and Fontana's addition, I was counting on much more, but it seems that there are too few joint trainings. With individual quality, we have no right to lose to the Czechs without Sablikova, or anonymous Korea. And unfortunately this start will count for a lot, because there are only 2 more and our chances of playing at the World Championships are minimal. In my opinion with Fontana going from Short Track to Long Trackand vice versa, we won't be much use in the team. Here great teamwork is needed, not improvisation. As of today, there is very little chance that we will qualify the women's team for the games.
    • men advanced to Division A for the first time since 2018 (when they went 1-8). Don't expect much progress next year
    • Ok, but there we are talking about a person who has parents from different countries. Colturi has nothing to do with Albania.
    • There are few people here from Austria, Switzerland, Norway and Finland.
