National team heralds a new era

The former Vipiteno and Cortina coach will make his debut on the boards at the three-day tournament in Hungary. This is a first test of form with a view to the World Cup in Division I, which will also be held in Bucharest next year.

It starts on Friday at 15.30:XNUMX p.m. with the opening game against Japan, followed by duels with Hungary and Poland on the following two days. All three matches are likely to demand everything from the Azzurri.

For his debut, Beddoes is relying on a 22-man squad, which consists mainly of young, partly inexperienced cracks. After Ivan Deluca from Vipiteno (sickened) and Luca Franza from Bolzano (work reasons) recently had to cancel, they are still standing 13 South Tyroleans in the selection squad. One of them is goalkeeper Gianluca Vallini, who will alternate in goal with the young Marco De Filippo Roia in Hungary.
