Ludvig Hoff are a key player on the roster along with Christoffer Karlsen, unfortunately Karlsen is injured for this tournament. On defense Andreas Røykås Marthinsen will get a lot of ice-time.

There is zero possibility for promotion in my opinion. The 96 and 97 generation/class are simply not good enough. Lack of depth, and lack of talent.
Compared to Latvia and Germany I would predict that this Norwegian team will end at 3rd place in the up comming tournament.

(I have more faith in the 98, 99 and 2000 generation/class)
