“Ukraine Dominates in World Championship Match Against Netherlands, Sets Sights on Promotion to Division 1A”

The Ukrainian national ice hockey team played the penultimate match at the World Championship in Division 1B. The opponent was the Netherlands team, which is fighting for survival.

The opponent failed to oppose anything to the Ukrainians, losing 2:14. Trakht scored four goals, Korenchuk scored a hat-trick, and Merezhko scored four points.

Ukraine held such a training session before the last and decisive match against Japan for promotion to Division 1A. The game will take place on April 29, and the Ukrainians only need a victory in regular time.

At the same time, Japan has been an extremely uncomfortable opponent in recent years. A year ago, the Japanese defeated Ukraine 8:2.
