[ad_1]

The host of the tournament is the team of Latvia for the first time in the history of the championships of the planet. twenty (1: 0; 1: 0; 0: 0) outperformed Canadian hockey players.

In the 2019 final, only the Canadians who landed on the Finns put pressure on the hosts, but they never beat their defenses: none of the 38 pitches reached the goal.

At that time, the Latvians had 17 attempts to disarm the rival goalkeeper on two occasions. The winners were Mikas Indrašis (19:58 min.) And Oskaras Batna (28:39 min.).

In the next match in Group B, Germany did not spare Italy 9: 4.

In group A Slovak men at night 5: 2 (3: 0; 0: 0; 2: 2) defeated Belarus, after which the dramatic 4: 3 victory against the Czech team was torn apart by the representatives of Russia.

We remind you that this time the preferences of the planet cause a little less of a stir, because the colorful army of fans from different corners of the planet did not reach Riga. Plus, there are fewer stars as the NHL playoffs are just beginning and traveling across the Atlantic is complicated by limitations.

This is not the first time that the Latvian capital has hosted such an event: the World Hockey Festival was also held here in 2006.
