Unfortunately for the players from the Tatras, despite the promising first period, after which they led 2: 1, they ended up in the quarterfinals, when the Finns finished 4: 2 in the final act and celebrated the promotion.

Although Craig Ramsay’s charges were saddened by the bitter end of the match, Adam Sýkora rated the tournament as generally positive, although he admitted over time that some things could have been done better. “I really enjoyed it. Before the tournament, I thought that if I got the opportunity, I would take full advantage of it. I was ready.

I think I have succeeded, but I still need to work on myself. I think we could have done some group matches better. But we advanced to the quarterfinals … The Finns were playable, we also did well in the first period. Too bad the end. ”

Only the 17-year-old striker grew up again at the championship. Two goals and one assist gave him, in addition to the necessary confidence, another dose of motivation to work hard to improve performance. “It simply came to our notice then. I’ve already gotten into it and I’ve enjoyed it more. I don’t have that much stress anymore. Of course, there is no need to rest on our laurels and work needs to continue. ”

Adam Sýkora was proud to have been part of the Slovak national team. In addition to a great team, he did not allow coach Craig Ramsay. “I like him very much because he sticks to the kind of players I do. I play what the coach says, I try to follow every system thing. I really appreciate that I was able to play under him. “

The young attacker has not stopped for a moment in the last year. Before the start of the club season, he played the Hlinka Gretzky Cup and then wore the national team jersey in three different age tournaments.

“I think this season has been the best in my career. We finished second in the Hlinka Gretzka Cup, then 2nd place with Nitra, at the World Championships under 18 we advanced back to the elite, we presented ourselves super at the World Championships under 20 and now this championship. I really enjoyed it. ”

Adam Sýkora experienced his dream debut despite a challenging season at the senior championship. However, he will not breathe even after falling out of the quarterfinals, as his impressive performances and hard work have already left an impression overseas. “When I get home, I immediately fly to Canada on the NHL Combine. Two teams chose me. Then maybe I’ll take two weeks off and start preparing for the new season. “
