Looks pretty bad without Jokiharju, Heiskanen, Tolvanen, Ikonen and Vesalainen.

Any reason why Finland doesn't care about this tournament?

Nobody other than Canada cares. European teams seem to prefer the U20 summer showcase tournament instead.

99% of hockey fans in Canada have no idea this event is going on. Not many pay attention to the U-18 words either.

Prefer? Sweden always sends it's best possible team to the Hlinka and I'm pretty sure the Russians and the Czechs do as well.

I think this year Russia will have its best players.

I remember them preferring the U-20 tournament with the better U-18 eligible players.

You probably need to go back many years to find a Swedish U18 player at a U20 summer camp. Paajarvi even played at the Hlinka the year after playing at the U20 WJC. Hedman also definitely played there in his last year of eligibility (scored the GMG winning goal).

Most likely 2013 in group stage against Sweden. 4:3 loss.

Unfortunately I didn't find any. Goals and penalties are the only stats you can find.

I followed the game via this page, but it's in czech, so you will need to google translate it.

The Draft Analyst tournament preview: 2016 U18 Ivan Hlinka

New York (The Draft Analyst) — The dust has settled over the completion of the 2016 NHL Entry Draft and the transition towards focusing on this season's top draft prospects begins Monday from the Czech Republic and Slovakia with the start of the under-18 Ivan Hlinka Memorial Cup.

Close to 200 players born no earlier than 1999 representing eight countries are expected to participate in the annual event, considered to be the first of several pre-draft tournaments that allow scouts, team executives and fans to familiarize themselves with some of the world’s best teenage hockey players. Although not as publicized (or televised) as much as marquee competitions like the under-20 world junior championship, the Ivan Hlinka Cup — named in honor of the former NHL coach and Czech international star — provides talent evaluators a foundation towards building player assessments for the given season’s draft.

We previewed the tournament and a handful of notable 2017 draft eligibles. Like the WJC's, we'll provide game recaps and scouting reports from our tournament home page.

The host Czech Republic will field a similar team than it did a year ago, but on paper, it seems like the 1998-born crop — ineligible for this year’s event — were a notch or two better than the roster you’ll see in Breclav.

I disagree with this. Goalies Skarek and Vomacka are both capable of being starting goalies and I would personally take Skarek over anyone from 98'. Defense is the main difference for sure, 98' was better without a doubt, but I don't think this years D is bad. It's okay. Forwards on the other hand are better in this year's squad and it's not even close. Zadina, Necas, Safin or Kaut are all better than anyone in last year's sqaud.

Anyway I appreciate your contribution to this thread. I always enjoy reading those previews.

Anybody have a link or a website where the games will be broadcasted? I saw the post on the first page, but I'm not sure where exactly it'll be broadcasted.
