I think, it should happen somewhen in December, because the tournament will start in the middle of January.
Looks like Sweden is sending the girls team once again.
Has the Russian roster been announced? Would be interested to hear if Alexander Suzdalev is on it. He's eligible to play for Sweden and Russia. Best player on the Swedish U16 team in their first tournament. Looks like a special talent.
The Swedes chose to play in the women's tournamentSo teams, that will participate at the tournamen (men): Switzerland, Canada, Russia, USA, Finland, Denmark
I mean, I understand, why Swiss, they are hosts after all. But why are Danes before Swedes?
The Swedes chose to play in the women's tournament
It's a guaranteed gold medal.Aha, I see, probably the same about Czech. Weird decision, actually. I mean, from Swedish side.

Nikita Ryzhov (Dinamo Moscow)
I'd say most of the top Russian U16 players are on the roster, probably aside from Roman Kantserov, but I don't think it will make us that much weaker.
Who are the best players aside from Michkov and Miroshnichenko?
It's a guaranteed gold medal.
Is it? A positive then, since the female (sr) hockey in Sweden is on B nation level these days. Im not that interested in womens hockey, but its still amazingly poor.
No Canada, USA, Russia, Finland, Swiss. Who else? Czech? Not sure they are that good as well.
I have no idea how good Swedens U16 (?) girls are, compared to the competition, but I wish them good luck.
