With some of the tournaments starting next week, felt a new thread for this year needed to be made.

Interesting to see Division III so crowded this year (with 8 teams); have to think that depending on how it goes, and what happens at the IIHF's annual congress, they may split it up, though they may also want another team to join, though that doesn't seem likely right now.

 

[Eye of Ra]

I want Poland and Ukraine to get promoted.

 

[ozo]

I want Poland and Ukraine to get promoted.

That would be a cool, yet unlikely outcome.

 

[Milansdad]

I want Poland and Ukraine to get promoted.

You can always dream of course

Haha wow, straight for the jugular.

You know, Poland isn't all that bad. I mean, it's not likely to happen but we've seen greater surprises before.

 

[tony d]

Always enjoy following these tournaments and seeing what countries do well and get promoted and what ones get demoted. Poland hasn't been in the main World Championships since 2002, be nice to see them back.

Croatian preliminary roster

Goalies:

Mate Tomljenović – KHL Medveščak
Vito Nikolić – KHL Medveščak
Ivan Štimac Rojtinić – KHL Mladost
Vilim Rosandić – HC Detva

Defenders:

Nikola Senzel - KHL Medveščak
Marko Tadić - KHL Medveščak
Martin Pleško – KHL Medveščak
Domen Vedlin – KHL Medveščak
Jan Smolec – KHL Medveščak
Marko Ljubić – KHL Mladost
Bruno Kegalj – KHL Zagreb
Igor Jačmenjak – KHL Zagreb
Fran Srketić – KHL Zagreb
Borna Šilović – Annecy
Ivan Puzic – HC Poruba
Mark Katic – Skelleftea AIK
Andy Sertich – Nottingham Panthers
Geoff Waugh – Nottingham Panthers

Forwards:

Luka Mikulić - KHL Medveščak
Ivan Brenčun - KHL Medveščak
Ivan Janković – KHL Medveščak
Matija Miličić – KHL Medveščak
Michael Glumac – KHL Medveščak
Nathan Perkovich – KHL Medveščak
Tomislav Zanoški – KHL Medveščak
Marko Šakić – KHL Medveščak
Josip Jazbec – KHL Medveščak
Tadija Mirić - KHL Mladost
Bruno Fičur – KHL Mladost
Mislav Blagus - KHL Zagreb
Luka Jarčov – KHL Zagreb
Ivo Kaleb – KHL Zagreb
Borna Rendulić – Utica Comets
Dominik Kanaet – HC Dubnica
Luka Vukoja – Sorhaga Alingsas
David Brine – Cardiff Devils

Nice to see Katic is eligible to play for Croatia, he was looking for it from the moment he signed with Medvescak. Zanoški finally on roster, he was sacked by coach Raymond during 12/13 (last season in EBEL) and missed only two weeks to gain eligibilty.

If all players actually shows up I could see us battle for 1st place.

 

[crobro]

There was talk a few months back of Gilbert Bruce wanting to play for Croatia

Also will be interesting seeing Mike Keenan coaching the Chinese team this year in div 3

Who's that?

China doesn't play in Division III and Mike Keenan will not be their coach.

 

[Siamese Dream]

I will be attending Division 1B in Belfast, my first live tournament after years of watching on crappy streams

 

[crobro]

Who's that?


China doesn't play in Division III and Mike Keenan will not be their coach.

.

Don't crucify me for iPhone spellcheck it's Gilbert Brule.

What I read was that Keenan will coach Kunlun and the national team.

 

[Milansdad]

Haha wow, straight for the jugular.

What did I write? Don't remember...
Anyway Poland has a decent chance to grab the first two places for sure. I don't mind it if we go up too
Ukraine on the other hand...

 

[SoundAndFury]

Yeah, Ukraine, as they are right now, don't have a chance. Their NT level has really gone downhill over the last 10 years.

Will play Lyszczarczyk? He is just 19years old.

 

[SoundAndFury]

Will play Lyszczarczyk? He is just 19years old.

He also had a pretty damn bad season. Still I'd say yes, he should make the bottom six on merit.

Spain's loss in the opener kinda answers all questions in D2A, Romania as always is missing half of their best players and still cruising through the competition.

At this point the gap between elevator teams and the rest of D2A is just too damn huge. Estonians dominated everyone 2 years ago, the Netherlands won last year without Tilburg players and Romanians missing Tamas Biro, Zsolt Molnar, Zsombor Molnar, Becze, Szocs, Adorjan, Moldovan, Lorincz, Virag, Goga, Papp, Antal, Petres, Robert Peter seem to be having an easy time as well. That's 14 players missing and fair enough, few of them probably wouldn't make the team for on ice reasons but for the most part those are guys way above ones on the current roster.

 

[ZT]

Martin St. Pierre will be playing for Kazakhstan.

This always humors me. Now they have two pretty good scoring lines

Bochenski - Boyd - Dawes
Rymarev - St. Pierre - Starchenko

Unfortunately no exciting prospects coming up with Trivino and Barker already being cap-tied.
