4 Takeaways From Slovakia's Ugly Loss to Finland

4 Takeaways From Slovakia's Ugly Loss to Finland

December 31st, 2020 There's a famous clip from one of the early seasons of America's Next Top Model where Tyra Banks screams, "I was rooting for you, we were all rooting for you." If somebody could take that video and edit in a globe over Tyra's face and a Slovak flag over the model she was yelling at, it would sum up this game better than any amount of...
2021 WJC: 3 Takeaways from Canada's Narrow Victory Against Slovakia

2021 WJC: 3 Takeaways from Canada's Narrow Victory Against Slovakia

December 28th, 2020 In sharp contrast to Saturday night's demolishing of Team Germany, Team Canada suited up against Team Slovakia on Sunday, a group motivated to build on their opening night shutout win over Switzerland. While many fans likely thought that Sunday night's tilt would be another classic Canadian blowout, it was anything but, as Canada's...
2021 World Junior Championship Team Slovakia Final Roster

2021 World Junior Championship Team Slovakia Final Roster

December 26th, 2020 The Slovaks waited until the absolute last moment to announce their final roster. The roster was announced approximately 24 hours before their first game against Switzerland, coming on the heels of a 6-0 defeat the previous night against the Czech Republic. Slovakia has a mix of World Junior veterans, first-time appearances, and three...
2021 World Junior Championship Team Slovakia Preview

2021 World Junior Championship Team Slovakia Preview

December 4th, 2020 At first glance, the 2021 Tournament Outlook looks bleak for the Slovaks. Slovakia's showing at the 2020 World Juniors was not good. Their saving grace was their 3-1 victory over fellow Group A member, Kazakhstan. This early tournament victory helped them avoid playing in the relegation matches. In their next three matches against...

QMJHL's Top 5 Goalies

QMJHL's Top 5 Goalies

April 25th, 2020 Goalies are one of the most important positions in hockey. Not only do they make highlight-reel plays night in and night out, but they are the backbone on almost every team. Even if the players in front of him are having a bad game, a goalie must still be at the top of his game to try and calm the storm. Although most players cannot...
2020 NHL Draft: Fisher’s Top 217 Overagers

2020 NHL Draft: Fisher’s Top 217 Overagers

February 17th, 2020 This isn’t a particularly good year for overagers. Don’t get me wrong, several overagers will get drafted in 2020 and go on to become good pro players, but there isn’t a Samuel Fagemo or Brett Leason garnering first-round consideration like last year. In fact, I would be surprised if any overagers were taken in the top two...

THW's Goalie News: Slovakian Standouts, Kuemper's Big Day

December 28th, 2019 We return to the Goalie News after the Christmas break with NHL games and the World Junior Championship (WJC) in full swing. That meant great news for two Slovakian-born goaltenders. But the best news of the week goes to Arizona Coyotes' goaltender Darcy Kuemper. Halak Stands Tall Born May 13, 1985, in Bratislava, capital of...
2020 WJC Team Slovakia Final Roster

2020 WJC Team Slovakia Final Roster

December 24th, 2019 Although 2019 was disappointing for Slovakia, expect more of the same for the 2020 World Junior Championship. Placed in Group A with Finland, Sweden, Switzerland and Kazakhstan, they will have their work cut out for them. Additionally, with only two players returning from last year, and with only one NHL-drafted prospect, they will have...
