Italy is ready for the Euro Ice Hockey Challenge

After the Olympic qualification at the beginning of September, the Blue Team will be challenged again at a tournament in two weeks. Then the starting signal is given for the four-day Euro Ice Hockey Challenge in Budapest, in which Trivellato & Co. have to assert themselves in the group against Austria and South Korea. Depending on their placement in this circle of three, the Blue Team then plays for places 5, 3 or 1 against a team from Group A (Hungary, Denmark or Poland).

A young Blue team Italy will approach the tournament in Hungary with an extremely young team, including some debutants. A decision that coach Stefan Mair explains as follows: “Every international comparison promotes the team spirit and the experience of the individual players. That's why the team will be very young, so some new players can play their way into the spotlight. In the summer we were preparing for the Olympic qualification, so I couldn't experiment much. Now this chapter is closed, which is why I will also test some new things with a view to the World Cup in Cologne. With this in mind, I would like to welcome Marco De Filippo Poia, whom I have already coached in the U-18 national team. I would also like to look at Tommaso Goi, Davide Conci and Daniel Glira. I also nominated Viktor Schweitzer, but he had to withdraw due to injury. I think it will be a great tournament.”

Before heading to Budapest, the Blue Team will have a two-day training camp in Klobenstein (31. October and November 1st)
