Slovak hockey has a new medal. The under-18 junior national team finished in second place at the home World Championship in Trenčín, losing the final to Sweden 2:4. The silver won by coach Martin Dendis's representatives represents a great success, especially considering that the group of young players was considered less promising before the tournament and lacked loud names such as Juraj Slafkovský or Šimon Nemec. sport.pravda.sk ↗
The team that many had written off even before the championship began ultimately captivated the hockey world with its performance. The Slovak juniors are continuing the successful trend of Slovak hockey, which, according to available information, dates back four years, when the national team won bronze at the Winter Olympic Games in Beijing. sport.pravda.sk ↗
According to available sources, the final defeat to Sweden was also marked by a missed sure-fire chance and a referee error. Despite the loss in the tournament's most important match, the young hockey players sang the Slovak anthem after the game, which indicates a high team morale and satisfaction with the result achieved. sport.sk ↗
Figures from Slovak hockey rate the silver as a valuable medal that can help the young players in their future career path. Coach Dendis stated that his team achieved the maximum of its potential. However, it will be important for the players to keep working hard and to continue developing their potential. dennikn.sk ↗
