What are you impressions from this U16 team?

6:2 with Canada, 9:0 with Denemark, 10:1 with Finland in semifinals and 4:0 with the USA in final - not a bad way to the top, should I say.

Michkov and Miroshnichenko seem to have potential to be the next big things from Russia.

There should be not too much impressions about 15 year old boys. Youth hockey is that way at times. I was pleased with Michkov passing his first NT test. There will be way more tests ahead, each harder than these games.

Is Russian junior program finally getting better? At least there have been some good results in the last few years.

Hopefully there are big improvements.

There really should be. I’ve already made a thread about the 1987-1990 born player and just how super weak that generation was based on weak economy of the 90s.

This generation is in a different situation, a far better situation. There are no excuses, if this generation turns out to be weak then there is some sort of MAJOR problem.
