    I think we have a good chance of defeating our northern neighbours (Austria) this year and avoiding fight for remaining in World series (We have beaten Poland, Italy and Japan last year in due course and remained in World Series).

    The most dramatic game was during B Group championshiop in Ljubljana 2001.

    UK pwned Kazakstan by 11-2 (Kazakstan was 3d, UK was 2nd in the end). Some Suggested that Kazakstan deliberately lost. Nontheless, they didn't come to pick 3d place prize in the end.

    In order to win the championship, we had to beat Estonia (placed last) by 12 goals. We have beaten them by 16-0 (0-2,0-8 - dramatic 2nd p. after only 2 goals in 1st p., 0-6) and won our ticket to World Series (A group).

            It was a very intimate night indeed, Forsberg is a big guy and that merely ads to the pleasure!(read that in any way you like)

              .?.

              "The way he handles his stick is simply amazing, so when 'Big Peter' suddenly appeared into the locker room the rest of the Swedish team could hardly contain their excitement. And indeed, after an extremely sweaty and physical training session, the boys headed for the showers with one big smile on their faces."

              Hm... Maybe I should become a hockey reporter.

                      I might indeed be refering to #22, mr. Anson Carter

                      I was actually pretty excited to see if they would accept his goal... First it seemed that there were no good camera angles. They took a lot of time examining it, but I'm glad they accepted it because in the magnified slo-mo pictures one can really see that the puck was in the goal.

                      So, congratulations to Team Canada! (And to Sweden and Slovakia too).
