outlook for the next games

Austria's U18 national team will compete against Kazakhstan on Thursday at 4:00 p.m., which was inferior to Slovenia, but defeated Hungary. The game promise is exciting according to the previous achievements of both teams. In the previous tournament balance sheet against Denmark 3: 5 and against Slovenia 4: 1 points, while their next opponents achieved changing results in previous games.

The Austrian team urgently needs to work on the exploitation of opportunities, especially after the critical analysis of the game of Head Coach Florian Mühlstein. In the declaration, the second third was particularly emphasized as a weakness, where the scoral balance sheet was clearly against Austria with 24: 7.

After the coming games, it will be shown whether Austria can climb into the knockout phase. The IIHF Ice Hockey U18 World Cup is an important event for the talents that want to profile themselves for even greater challenges in ice hockey.
