Nice team, but lot of players from North America. There is possibility, many of them will be in playoffs.

5/6 players its not a lot. Kazda is not going anyway, there are better options from Europe.

I like your lineup. Fun team

I would say a quite good team on paper, but the results of this birth year have been rather disappointing so far. I feel like they could definitely challenge Finland this year anyway.

 

[Summer Rose]

Radivojevic… pardon my ignorance, but is that a common Slovakian name, and whether or not, any relation to former NHL player Branko?

It's his son. The surname is Balkan, father of Branko is from Serbia.

Worst thing that could happen to this team is that radivojevic and both our top goalies would be playing ushl playoffs. It would be dissapointing because at full strength this team has potential to be succesful at u18s (maybe even medal)

 

[Antiillafire]

Back to back games vs Latvia missing most of our top players. There is a chance this team could be depleted for this tournament. Misiak, Svrcek, Radivojevic, Pradel, Henriquez. All could be out for playoffs. I am seriously concerned with that defense if Luka won’t be there to average 25-28 minutes a game. Is there a chance ozogany gets a look?

6-5 win over Latvia in the first warm up game. Hrenak saved only 13 of 18 shots on, not great if we will be missing Pradel and Henriquez.
Chrenko 2+2. Nemec 2+1. Kazda 0+4.

Just put Kudla in net and everything will be fine.

6-1 win over Latvia in the second game. Chrenko and Nemec both rested for the game
