After Sunday’s arrival at the venue, the Slovaks first completed the mandatory isolation, now they are gradually getting used to the ice. First, they tried out the competition area in the Olympic Sports Center, where they complete all seven duels of the group part, but they have also passed the ice test in the Daugava training arena.
“We moved to the training hall by bus for about ten minutes. It was interesting to experience something similar. The ice there was great, they built it nicely. Although they had trouble completing, they did very well. It’s a nice training background. From a personal point of view, I’m very happy to be here and to be able to try it, “ evaluated on the official website of the Slovak Ice Hockey Association (SZĽH) forward Milos Roman.

The most experienced SR player was the defender Marek Ďaloga. “We will say something to the nearest opponent with the coaches, but we have to stick to our game, our style. Do what the coaches instruct us to do. Focus on yourself, ” said Ďaloga on HockeySlovakia.sk.
He also likes the environment in Riga. “The Daugava arena was built nicely. It looks great to be late and build at the last minute. The ice in the training hall was also a bit better than in the main one, where we will play matches. At least I had that feeling. I liked it,” added.
