Both hockey players are waiting for the World Cup in the hope of getting up

Jarmo Tolvanen, the federal captain of men, said he was pleased with the preparation program: on Friday, Sweden would be the opponent in the Tüskecsarno, and next week the team would move to Miskolc, where they would play with the Poles twice, Wednesday and Friday. In the last week, the training camp will be in Budapest again, and on the 17th of April, the national team will play with the Slovenian at Tüskecsarno.

Then, in England, two A group opponents, the Italians and the British meet at the end of the preparation. The World Championship will travel to Kazakhstan on April 24th, with Belarus, South Korea, Slovenia and Lithuania as the host between 29th April and 5th May. The first two runners will be able to play on the 2020, Swiss elite vb, and the last to fall into the division I / B.

"The meeting with the Swedes is the first stage of development, an opportunity to push the borders," Tolvanen stressed. "I don't like them as Finns, but I really like playing hockey."

He realized that the two games against the Poles would help the team adapt, as they made a new captain and game system. "At the moment, I have more questions than my answer, but I trust that after the Slovenian fight against Budapest, and after the two England matches, the answer will be over," he added.

He said the frame was not complete, which is currently made up of 25 field players and four goalkeepers. It is certain that two or three players will join next week, and they are expected to decide on Thursday (today).

He said about the World Cup, great conditions and extremely tough opponents. “Everyone can remember how close we were to getting up on last year's ice. The chance is always there, I hope we can live with it this year, ”he said.

The players in the Slovak league have come to terms with the MAC and DVTK participation to help Hungarian hockey.

Bálint Magosi, the player of the national team, believed there was a chance to succeed against the Swedes on Friday, because anything could happen in a match. "In the practice and application of the strategy, the emphasis is on this stage of preparation, but everyone will go hungry for victory in the Thornhouse," he said.

Pat Cortina, the federal captain of the women's team, told her, the biggest challenge for her is that her team is very young, so the job requires a different approach than her previous stations. The Canadian-Italian specialist, as a federal captain, was in charge of the Hungarian men's team since 2003, at the 2008 Division I World Championship in Sapporo, followed by the 2009 Swiss A group championship.

Cortina emphasized that team members are able to play a highly concentrated game, and will be confident that this will be demonstrated on Sunday from the time the group is participating in Group I / A World Championship with the goal of getting into the world. Austria, Denmark, Norway, Slovakia and Italy will be in the tournament at the Vasas Ice Center in Káposztásmegyer. Two of them come together until a farewell.

“As with other world championships, the team has to deal with the pressure, but since we will be in front of the domestic audience, it will be even more important. We need to pay close attention to the preparation and our own game, and not so much to the result, ”he said. He added that the group was very balanced, every match would be a huge challenge.

Entry to the tournament matches will be free, but it will be possible to exchange support tickets to support the work of the Maltese Charity Service. VB is organized in the spirit of sustainability, for example, the special bottles provided to teams do not pollute the environment.

At the press conference it was said: first of all, there will be live broadcasts of matches in women's history at M4 Sport and at m4sport.hu.

Bence Svas OE, U18's leader of the U18 group, said on April 14th, starting with the I / Bs Székesfehérvár vb.
