Anyone knows the roster of the Slovakian U20 team currently playing in Black Sea Cup in Russia?
Martin Jendroľ, Oliver KoÅ¡ecký, MaroÅ¡ Surový (HC ‘05 Banská Bystrica), Ján Kožiak, Filip Vidovič (HC Slovan Bratislava), Jozef Klenko, Lukáš König, Leonard Å inkovič (MMHK Nitra), Boris Sadecký (HK Dukla TrenčÃn), Adrián HoleÅ¡inský, Lukáš HruÅ¡Ãk, Lukáš Michalek (MsHKM Žilina), Matej Florek, Miroslav StruÅ¡ka (MHk 32 Liptovský Mikuláš), Martin Bodák, Jakub Kyčák (HK SpiÅ¡ská Nová Ves), Christián Michalčin (HC KoÅ¡ice), Jozef Huňa, Matej Paločko (HC BÃlà tygři Liberec/ČR), Patrik Maier (Kamloops Blazers /Kan.), Kristián FerleťÃ¡k (Victoria Royals,/Kan.), Patrik Koch (Soo Eagles/USA)
And is it a full strength team? Any notable absentees?

Solenský will stay in Liberec next year and then he will move on to NCAA.
In Tomek's situation, it depends on Zane McIntyre going pro, rumours are that he is likely to sign an ELC with Bruins and go to the AHL. So that opens spot for Tomek.
Yes, JaroÅ¡ and Černák are cousins.
Hey, I was just wondering if you guys know anything about this guy? Anything would help, thanks!
The Slovak roster for the Ivan Hlinka is given below. I was wondering if there are any players of interest amongst the group? I noticed there are five players that play outside of Slovakia.
DuÅ¡an Kmec, Samuel Rudy, Tibor Tamáš, Vojtech Zeleňák (HC KoÅ¡ice), Samuel Fereta, Tomáš Hedera, Ján Kožiak, Dominik Vitek (HC Slovan Bratislava), Martin Krempaský, Andrej LeÅ¡ko, Boris MartančÃk,Rastislav Václav (HK Å K Poprad), Matej Galbavý, Alex Tamáši (HC 05 Banská Bystrica), Roman Durný, VladimÃr VybÃral (MHk 32 Liptovský Mikuláš), Kamil Ondráš, Marián Studenič (MHKM Skalica), Viliam Čacho, Erik Rajnoha (HK Dukla TrenčÃn), Jakub Lacka (HK Ružinov 99 Bratislava), Samuel Buček (MMHK Nitra), Martin Bodák (HK SpiÅ¡ská Nová Ves), Kroni Musliu (BK Mladá Boleslav/ČR), Samuel Solenský (HC BÃlà Tygři Liberec/ČR), Adam Ružička (HC Pardubice/ČR), MiloÅ¡ Roman (HC Oceláři/ČR), Matúš Juriga (Djurgarden/Å weden.)
Huge problem is lack of puck-moving defensemen. Out of this list, only Juriga and Rajnoha (and sometimes Hedera) can move the puck. That's ridiculous, especially taking into account the omission of Žiak and Fehérváry.The Slovak roster for the Ivan Hlinka is given below.

I really don't understand why our philsophy (especially in defense) is to take as much tall immobile pylons as possible.
Solenský is interesting. That's pretty much all. I like Rajnoha, Ružička and Roman, too...
From what I've heard, he is good skater and puckmover with good vision and he is solid defensively. He has some flaws like taking
unnecessary penalties and sometimes he is selfish.
Slovakia U20 vs Swiss U20 0:7
And only 10 shot from Slovak players!
Wtf is going on?
0:7. I think casualty, nothing more. Summer,sun,sea,beach,etc. It's hard to concentrate on the hockey.
Funny, the Swiss did not seem to have issues with that. Shots were 32:10 for them. That was (is) a matter of quality, not effort, unfortunately. To be fair, we missed some players and Swiss had their full roster, I think. Still, that was a shameful result.
Swiss missed several very good players too, Timo Meier, Pius Sutter, Kevin Fiala, Simon Kindschi, Kay Schweri, Noah Rod.
I have had a chance to watch all three of Slovakia's games thus far at the Ivan Hlinka. I think I have been most impressed by Milos Roman. He seems to be a gifted playmaker. He is 1+3 after three games. My favourite of the assists was when he outmuscled the defender behind in the net and feathered a beautiful pass to Bucek who was standing in front of the net.
On defence not much to write home about. I think Dusan Kmec is 2+1 after three games, and Martin Bodak seems like the workhorse.
