Now it is a 4-year rule. 2008,2012 and 2016. What about 2020?
Given the current state of Slovak Hockey is it not a little aggressive to wish for a win vs. big 6? In the U17 tournament in Dallas Slovakia got beaten by Switzerland 6-1.

I'd like to hear more about Mario Mucka. Big Winger (190cm/82kg), who has played just one game (according to EP) this year. He plays in WHL for Everett Silvertips.

The U17s championship that just happened in Switzerland had some surprising results, and good ones for what is touted as a very weak group of Slovak players. Did anyone have a chance to watch in person, and tell if any of those guys are actual draft contenders at this stage?
You can watch those games here if you wish.

Thanks, will take a look this weekend when I get the chance.
And on another note - one thing I've been wondering is what has happened to Krivosik? Does anyone have any info? Going from top scorer at Ivan Hlinka to terrible PPG in the Finnish league in one year is in my mind unprecedented. What's going on there? Anyone knows?
He had a slow start, but he was regularly playing about 15 minutes per game. Now he has 6 points in the last 8 games so hopefully, he will keep to going. He also had some practices with LeKi team (Mestis).
He's got a poijt per game if not better at this most recent u-18 tournament (Zuchwill) where the slovak team is actually putting up decent results (didn't watch the games just saw the results). I still don't fully understand how he can be this good in international games vs in the finnish league
EDIT: stats from the tournament here http://stats.iihf.com/sihf/64/IHM064000_85B_4_0.pdf
Krivosik got his points in last 2 games, with 3 points vs GER in the last game. Some of the other Slovak guys had a good showing too. I don't know how many out of Ruzicka, Bucek, Studenic, Bodak will make the U18s, but those guys + Roman and Fehervary could make for a decent showing / decent draft year this year
