For now, Polish ice hockey returns to the program 1 TVP, which is an unusual event. The fans want to watch the Polish team also live – tickets for Spodek sell very well. Let our team fulfilled the dreams of fans and after 14-year break returned to the group of 16 best teams in the world. For this to happen, it must win the world championship Division 1A or in the case of second place count on the fact that the elite will not drop the French and Germans (they are the hosts of next year’s World Cup).
– In every game we go in order to win, but if we win all? – Wonders the Polish national team coach, Jacek Płachta. – Do not run out in the future. We focus on our game, because it is the most important, but of course everyone has their dreams …

Płachta dreams about to enter the Polish team to the elite. He played there 14 years ago. Like Mariusz Czerkawski. Former NHL player believes that the meeting already white and red of Italy will provide fans of great experience: – The first match of the tournament is very important, especially from the point of psychological, because winning gives you not only points, but also a big psychological comfort.
Year ago during the world Cup Division 1A in Krakow, Poland with Italy lost 1: 2. A few months later in a friendly match in Katowice beat this team 2: 0. As happens now?
– Everyone expects to win against Italy, so it will be a very difficult game – believes Płachta. – You have to go well in the tournament, because last year in Krakow is we did not. Italia is a demanding opponent. We analyzed their last match against Austria (lost 2: 3 – ed. Ed.). Well they played. Every win I take the blinds. I believe in our strength and character of the boys.

The advantage of balanced team

A year ago, the World Championships Division 1A held in Krakow. Poles fought ambitiously. Only in the last match they lost a chance to advance, losing to Hungary 1: 2. Płachta asked by us, or we will now have a similar emotion, responds: – It will be another championship. Other city hall team. I wish we played more aggressively, we were more effective. For sure, this team made progress through this year and stand it on the rise. You will want to make a surprise. But keep in mind that in this group we can each win, but also to lose.

fans choose the first option, but is unlikely to be easier than in the previous season. – This year’s group is much stronger than that which hosted last year in Krakow. The fight will be fierce – says CEO David PZHL Chwałka. Theoretically should be the strongest teams of Austria and Slovenia, which have fallen from the elite, and two years ago played in the Olympics in Sochi. – Certainly, we are not far behind them. Our strengths are aligned team and good atmosphere – provides Płachta. You can even add that inspire optimism the results of recent sparring. White-red twice played away from the UK – won 4: 3 and lost 2: 3. Later in Katowice they defeated Lithuania 8: 2 and South Korea 3: 0.

Płachta yesterday announced a 21-man squad for the first two games. Defender Bartosz Ciura and striker Casper button found in the waiting room. This is because, as Adam Borzęcki, occurring in Bietigheim Steelers team ends the competition in the German league Del2 and any day now strengthen our representation.
Players are fighting mood. – After the last match we want to enjoy the promotion – not behind goalkeeper Przemysław Odrobny. A few weeks ago, he was the hero of the match with Hungary. Defending penalty kicks assured red and white qualify for the next Olympic qualification. It was a small success of our team. For another, much larger, we expect in the coming days.
