ZUCHWIL. The Slovak national hockey team under the age of 18 only found out about the cancellation of the event during their trip to Switzerland.
The expedition verified the information on both sides and after the official confirmation, the driver was instructed to return home.
“I don’t even know what exactly happened. We traveled to Switzerland and had a refreshment stop around half past five in the evening. During that time, we learned that they had canceled the tournament.
At that time we were about two hours from the venue. It was a shock, of course. We heard about the cancellation of the Spengler Cup, but we believed that the tournament of four countries would take place, “coach Roman Sýkora told the hockeyslovakia.sk portal.

Team SR 18 should complete the next tournament in February, when it is on the Dzurilla Cup program in Piešťany.

“I believe that the 18th World Championships will take place. There is still plenty of time until April, and if they canceled the third U18 championship, it would be very bad.
Our desire is to return Slovakia in this category to the A-category and we want to manage it as early as 2022, “added Sýkora.
