U20: Graz Cup (November 3-5, Aut, Bel, Dan, Lat)

[kabidjan18]

Seen rosters going around for this tournament but they're all in the senior roster threads.

As with the other teams, Austria is sending a nice little team there. None of the boys who consistently play senior level are going, so
Bernd Wolf (Langenthal on loan from Bern)
Lukas Haudum (Malmo)
Christof Kromp (Villach)
Florian Baltram (Salzburg)
Felix Maxa (Vienna)
and I also see Benny Lanzinger (00') getting the nod since he plays senior level, but I like the kid don't like the situation. There are other kids his age who don't get to play senior like him because their fathers aren't Gunther Lanzinger...

There are still some good pieces like Benny Nissner, Daniel Wachter, Dario Winkler (fmr. Everett Silvertips). I do see this team getting trashed, it's missing all the most important pieces, and a lot of the younger talent as well.

This might end up to be quite an entertaining tournament. Latvian team consists of the U-20 team Europe-based core and players that are quite far from the national team. For the past years November tournaments have served as basically a chance to see 'is anyone worth inviting to the camp in spring'.

Grigals, 18, MHL (NT debut)
Jucers, 29, Poland

Defense:
Zile, 18, KHL/MHL (NT debut)

Ponomarenko, 19, Norway (NT debut)
Jansons, 19, Latvia (NT debut)
Balinskis, 20, MHL (NT debut)

That's bled not Graz, and trust me, ours is just as interesting, though somewhat promising.

It is hard for me to be interested in this one when our roster is as experimental this one.

Looks like a decent tournament. Denmark's a team on the rise.

Any legal streams for this?? Or will I have to check box scores

You know what I don't know. I was planning to watch the U18 tournament and get the video of this one from a scout. I'll ask around about that.

Haha, the federation was supposedly on top of it. Here's the link, but one of the streams didn't start for me.
