Slovak under-18 hockey players made history for their country when, at the home World Championship in Trenčín, they defeated favored Canada 2:1. This win represents a historic breakthrough, since Slovakia had waited 27 years for a triumph over its Canadian peers in this category. According to available information, not even strong generations of players such as Fehérváry or Dvorský managed to achieve this. sme.sk ↗ sport.sk ↗
In the second period of the match, Samuel Šramatý opened the scoring, laying the foundation for Slovak success. According to some reports, the final result was decided by a shootout, during which coach Dendiš did not hesitate to make the necessary decisions. After the match, coach Martin Dendiš praised his team for their approach and emphasized that Slovakia not only defended but actively attacked the Canadians. He stated that they "spun the Canadians around the corners," and regarding his team's performance said that it required extreme dedication. sme.sk ↗ sport.sk ↗
The match took place in front of a sold-out stadium in Trenčín, which created a great atmosphere for the home team. The Slovak sensation at the start of the tournament proves that the underrated age group earned a deserved victory over one of the strongest teams in world hockey. The success of the national under-18 team opened the home World Championship in a very positive way and sparked optimism about the tournament's further matches. hnonline.sk ↗ SITA ↗
