22A Posted May 20, 2019 Report Share Posted May 20, 2019 The Ice Hockey World Championship is taking place in Slovakia. There are different pools reflecting the skill of each nation and after many year's absence Great Britain is back in the top tier of world ice hockey. They play seven other nations in a round robin tournament and they went there determined not to finish bottom of that group and drop back down. So far the team had played well but kept losing. This afternoon, they came up against France. 3-3 in Over Time and right at the death, GB broke through to win 4-3 and the commentator confirmed Team GB will be in the top tier again next year. The Coach admitted his team is aging, but since those players qualified, it was only right they represented us in the tournament. Good news is that there's some even better players who've already played some GB games and will be in next year's tournament. The tournament is broadcast on Free Sport (Sky 422) with games at 3.15 and 7.15pm most days. Well done GB! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
