The admin team will continue to work on existing issues, templates and upgrade all necessary available addons to minimize impact of this new version. Click Here for Updates
Nothing can surpass last year's div1a tournament in terms of excitement.
This year I predict Korea to go further down. Kazakstan and Slovenia are bloodthirsty for failing to get promited last year.
However, one of them will stay down as Belarus most likely will win the tournament.
Hungary are good enough to stay at the level. Lithuania and Korea will decide relegation.

Out of 7 Ds who won the promotion last year this year we will have 2. One of them will be 38. With the healthy lineup we could have hoped Armalis will carry us through to a win against Korea, for example. But with this defense, it will be a true miracle if we get a point against somebody.

It seems that maybe they don't have Chinese passports yet. Look at this interview with Brandon Yip:
IIHF - Yip’s Olympic dream

I wonder if China gets a similar lift-uö like Korea in preparation for their own olympics.
The Korean olympics are over and the Korean hockey goes back where it was before.

Speaking of naturalizing for the worlds, take a look at who UAE is using, http://stats.iihf.com/Hydra/695/IHM6950UAE_33_2_0_UAE.pdf . Savko and Karkotski have played in friendlies for BLR before. Curious choice for them.

He is the president of our hockey federation now so he basically added himself to the list
I think that can only mean one thing - he is going to play unless something unexpected happens. Aside from my thinking, he also confirmed it himself 
On the unrelated note, regarding D situation, Gusevas has fractured his hand and is questionable to play...

Croatian team will be weakned for this season. No Puzić (Coventry - playoffs), no Šijan (Milton Keynes - wasn't invited ?!), no Blagus (wasnt invited ?!), no Miličić (declined, he said, at least what I've heard from my source, he wants to open his spot for younger players), no Rendulić (minor injury plus no contract for next season).
Serbia has historical chance to beat us for the first time in official game at senior level.

No offense guys but Croatian NT is turning into such a joke. I didn't wish it well during the Cronuck days but this is getting too much. Also, I just now got to know Sijan plays on EIHL team which I find ridiculous.
Not sure what happened, but all of the games of Kyrgyzstan have now been ruled as forfeits (they had won all those games).
Did they play any ineligible players?
