The Russians are coming to Karjala with the young men themselves! What will the Czechs come up with?

IIHF

“Starting at the Karjala tournament will be a great international test for the team. In addition, young players will gain responsibility, as they will play as a (senior) national team,” Tretyak said on the official federation website.

In addition, players will experience life in the “bubble”, which awaits them at the Junior World Championships. Even in Helsinki, hockey players will have limited movement only between the hotel and the Hartwall arena, where the tournament will be played. Matches will also be, with the exception of home selection, without spectators. “So it will be a good mental preparation,” Tretyak said.

The Russians decided to send young players to northern Europe also because many of the older ones had health problems in recent days or weeks. “Many of them had coronavirus, some with complications, others are still recovering. Most of the older players will welcome a (national) break in this situation. They will definitely be playing in the next Euro Hockey Tour,” said the head of Russian hockey.

Czech hockey players will not compete against the Swedes in Prague!

Russian hockey players will enter the tournament on Thursday, November 5, when they will play against the home team of Finland. On Saturday he will play against Sweden and on Sunday against the Czech team, the composition of which will be announced by the national team coach Filip Pešán next week on Thursday. The team should consist of players from foreign competitions, as extra-league teams have limited training conditions due to government measures due to the spread of coronavirus.
