Very nice. It seems, this season could be again played in standard modus.

I’m sure they will. It’s 10 days after and only a 4 game tournament. I’m not sure what quarantine protocols will be like though.
I wonder if this essentially the best players outside the u17 NTDP roster. I don’t see any CHL bound players either though

Czech roster
From my understanding this will be the Slovak squad. Pred náročnou skúškou vo Švajčiarsku absolvovala SR 17 pridaný kemp vo Zvolene
As usual the German federation is dragging its feet when it comes to announcing rosters for such tournaments.
I only know of 4 players (D-Lua Niehus, D-Tjark Kölsch, F-Florian Renner and F-Linus Brandl) that were nominated because their club team released that information.
I hope we will find out about the full roster soon.

Not sure if anybody cares but here is the Swiss roster:
This age group is probably a bit better than the Swiss 04's who got pounded at the Ivan Hlinka memorial tournament, especially depth wise. Timo Bünzli the most promising D is missing otherwise the best players seem availible. Hopefully Gruber who didnt look that good at Hlinka will have a better showing here.

Its only funny for swiss-german people and its literal meaning is hard to translate to English. The closest equivalents I could think of are probably "fuddy-duddy" or the relatively recent pop culture term "Boomer".
In any case its probably the funniest hockey name for swiss fans since Adrian Wichser, who used to play for our national team, as Wichser literally translates to "wanker" or "jerkoff".
On the other hand I find it weird that the users on this board get excited about names like Nando Eggenberger, wich actually has nothing to do with eggs or hamburgers...

Bünzli is a Swiss-German word for a (very) square person. The kind of neighbour who calls the cops on you if you talk too loud after 10pm.
Hard to say. Maybe the youtube channel of the swiss hockey federation will stream the games, or at least some of them. I will give an update on that once the tournament begins...

Most depressing name on Swiss roster is Huet, because it makes me feel old like a dinasour.

I am very curious to see Sisik play. I hope he can show that he should not be forgotten amongst 05 Slovak forwards
Stream for Switzerland vs. Germany. If the other games will be streamed, it will be most likely also on this youtube channel...
I have seen Kukumberg only few times and he has not impressed me. But it is possible that he made some progress, we will see.

I‘ve been watching the switzerland germany game. I feel like the swiss team was playing better offensively but let the germans score easy goals especially that short hander. Somebody mentioned Gruber earlier i think he played ok overall today the goal was a banger but before his goal i was a bit disappointed.
Switzerland started very poorly and got outplayed first but got into the game at the end of the first period. They eventually were the better team in the second and third. There were way to many individual mistakes though from both defense and the goaltender, even for that age group. I really liked how they played in overtime however, that was very clever and secured the win. I would also agree with your take on Gruber, the wirstshot on the PP was nasty but otherwise he was just ok. I kinda expected him to be more noticable against his peers especially since the opponent was "only" germany and not one of the top nations.

Hull didn`t really shine out to me outside of his goals too. But a guy who impressed me was simi meier he is small but maybe he could be drafted? WHat's your take on him?
