[@ABCD-nm2ww]

Some people here stating that there wasn't the best rosters here etc., might be right in that aspect, but realize how big is Latvia. 1.8 million people, around 8k active players, USA probably have that many players in one city. There are maybe max 10 hockey arenas in Latvia, big or small, yet they manage to compete in this level against such hockey powerhouses, it's remarkable. No other country will ever do something like this again, it's a statement to show what you can do with having barely anything at your disposal

[@dreamthedream8929]

@@zaniiite is it well said? according to that person finland for example should not have a chance against the usa for example as their population is so much smaller. but finland is one of the strongest teams out there. so the population and the number of ice rinks dont seem to matter. if there are good players to choose from then that should be the most important thing. Latvia and finland has that despite their number of ice rinks and population being a lot smaller than that of the usa. France has probably even more ice rinks than latvia and finland and a huge population as well but does that mean that they should play better hockey than latvia or finland just because of that? There seems to be something wrong with this type of thinking. Czechia, sweden, slovakia, switzerland are some of the top hockey teams out there and they have repeatedly shown that they are very capable of playing against other top teams but with huge number of ice rinks and population such as russia and the usa

@@ilarivaisanen I agree, the reason I feel so strongly that it’s good thing for these countries that do not the resources (or chose not to use them) for a state sponsored hockey program is good for the sport of hockey. With that being said, I agree with you and I’m looking forward to seeing it myself.

Mой сын кажа - мaскавіцкая мова ўвогуле не патрэбна будзе ў жыццi. Калi знiкне лукавы пра - маскоўскі тыран, у Беларусi (ВКЛ) будзе беларуская мова, а калi прыйдзецца жыць за мяжой, то будзе патрэбна мова той зaмежнай краiны. А для паразумення з iншаземнымi сябрамi, патрэбна ангельская, польская цi ўкраінская.
