Ice Hockey World Championship 2022: Nomination of Slovakia for preparatory matches – ŠPORT.SK

today 11:58 | The Slovak national hockey team will meet at the first meeting of the official preparations for the World Championship in Finland on Tuesday, April 19 in Trenčín. The implementation team expects the presence of 23 players, many of whom have so far prepared individually or at unofficial national team trainings in Bratislava. Two preparatory matches against the Czech Republic await the first block of training for Slovaks. In the first nomination of coach Craig Ramsay and general managers Miroslav Šatan and Ota Haščák, there are seven bronze medalists from the February 2022 Olympic Games in Beijing – goalkeepers Patrik Rybár and Matej Tomek, defenders Michal Čajkovský, Peter Čerešňák, Mislav Rosandič and attackers Michal Krišenda and Pavol. Overseas NHL defender Christián Jaroš has already joined the preparations. In addition to the bronze Regend and Krištof, the leaders in the attack should also be Róbert Lantoši, Matúš Sukeľ and Adam Liška. The debutant in the national jersey is 24-year-old Banská Bystrica striker Alex Tamáši. “We have a mix of players in the nomination. Not everyone is free yet for national team needs, but we have players we need to try and players who were part of the bronze team at the Olympics. They all get the opportunity to convince the coaches to continue training. We also have players who did not make it to the Olympic team, but now they have another chance to fight for the national team jersey and get to the world championships, “General Manager Miroslav Šatan told hockeyslovakia.sk. After two years of pandemics, Slovak hockey fans will finally be able to enjoy the national team matches. On this occasion, SZĽH, in cooperation with Ticketportal, will start selling tickets on Thursday, April 14 at 2 p.m. Ticket prices for the session will be 13 euros in Spišská Nová Ves and 12-15 euros in Trenčín. “The players are looking forward to the matches and I believe that the fans will also like this.
