Some potential highlights on this team:
Gustavs Ozoliņš, D, already has USHL and then NCAA commitments in place, some NHL draft interest too
Martins Laviņš, F, showed himself well in various roles for two different teams this season in the Latvian league, a playmaking center
Darels Dukurs, F, >PPG in the Swiss U20 league

 

[Namejs]

A 5-1 win over Germany in an exhibition game.

I really like the way this team is built around the core of HS Riga, which played against grown men this entire season and fared pretty well.

We're probably not going down this year, but it's going to be interesting to see if we can remain competitive throughout the game against the Swiss and maybe even get a sneaky W.

 

[GX]

Team received some well wishes

 

[Namejs]

41 SOG against the Swiss looks promising.

 

[Eye of Ra]

Latvia is big favorites in todays game against Sweden.

 

[kudla]
