SAVOJARSK ISHOKEJFÖRBUNDET and SAVOJARNA SPORTS AUTHORITY

proudly invite you to

It is our pleasure, in the name of the entirety of Savojarna, to welcome the ice hockey fans of the world to our beautiful nation. Savojarna is one of the most passionate hockey nations of the multiverse, and we want to bring that passion for hockey into the World Cup. Thirty-six nations have signed up to visit us in this autumn, and we hope that they will all have a great time, from the champion to all those who can't make it past the first stage. Here, everyone from fans to players and journalist shall find whatever they need to know about the World Cup of Hockey.

FORMAT

Eight groups of five will contest a single-round-robin, with all games played in Savojarna. All round-robin games will be contested to the official IIHF rules, i.e. with five minutes of 3v3 OT and a shootout, and the IIHF point system (3 for a regulation win, 2 for an OT win, 1 for an OT loss, 0 for a regulation loss). In each group, the top two will advance to octofinals, from where on the tournament progresses with single elimination. The KO games will be seeded according to the following criteria, which are also the tie-breakers for the group stage:

0. Group position (only for KO seeding)
1. Points
2. Head-to-Head results of involved teams
3. Head-to-Head goal difference
4. Goal difference
5. Goals scored
6. Coin toss

The knockout stage will be re-seeded according to these criteria each round. KO games are contested with continuous 5v5 overtime. OOC details can be found in the Savojar bid.

Savojarna National Tourist Office - Visitor's Guide to Savojarna

We expect visitors from all over the multiverse to arrive to our beautiful country for the 38th World Cup of Hockey. To prevent unwanted surprises, here are the most important things you should know if you come to this nation. The Savojars are friendly and open people, but the law in this nation can be harsh and it is best to be prepared and know your borders and rights. Similarly, it is important to know where to go and what not to miss - surely you don't want to go home and never have seen the famous Great White Dragons? Here is all you need to know as a visitor to Savojarna!

Savojarna is a nation shaped by the roughness and hard conditions of the life on those frozen islands. Often, settlements got too big for what limited resources our soil offers, and the only way to improve the supplies of food was war. This rough environment has hardened us all. For many years, war was the way a man had to take to bring his family through the winter, be it war on his neighbour or on the fruitful lands of Russica. The country hadn't been united until the 16th century, and only in the early 19th century did said unity become more than just central rule from Sjoedrhavn. The divisions of the old times can still be seen and felt, and we definitely advise you to see more than just the city of Sjoedrhavn - even though there is no way of denying you should take a look at it. Travel up north to the rough wilderness of Northern Vestrholm and make some expeditions into nature from Jarnstad. Take a short flight (or a boat) to Storevik and explore the Silver Mountains of Ejana, where the silver was mined that allowed Ejana to reign almost the entire nation from Storevik in the 9th century. Stroll through the vast forests of Sumanen, taste its many berries and see one of the famous Savojar Dragons. Or see the centre of Savojar Christianity in St. Andrei, down south in Russica.

Ice hockey is one of the most popular sports in this nation, with the SHS attracting huge crowds outnumbered only by the Football Series due to its bigger stadiums. It regularly reaches a higher percentage of seats filled than the SFS manages. Savojar players have moved to Novaya Zemlya and Mercedini, leading to a great support for these two countries as well, as their players are familiar for the average Savojar fan. The nation considers the aforementioned countries friendly rivals, but also harbours a more bitter rivalry with Vilita (and Turori) due to the Ice Cat Things having spoiled the Savojar's best shot at a World Cup of Hockey title back in the 34th edition here in Savojarna, Turori then knocking the Savojars out again at the 13th Winter Olympics, Vilita and Savojarna playing each other four times in the World Cup Qualification in football, and many Savojar fans thinking that Ice Cat Things is an utterly stupid name. On that last one, Savojar hockey fans can be quite purist and traditional (OOC note: That means traditional European ice hockey in RL terms) and don't value the commercialisation of the game. Things like franchising, giving teams mascots and nicknames and, heavens forbid, changing their colours are likely to be regarded with contempt by the Savojar fanbase, who longs for times when Sumani played for Virkaja or Hovikkära, Ejanans played for ESK, Russians for Traktor, and CASK simply drafted everyone they liked.

Getting here, getting around

WCoH attendees will likely fly to the capital, Sjoedrhavn. This means you will land at Sjoedrhavn International, from where most major national airlines fly to the bigger Multiverse nations. IAS flies to most Rushmori nations and to many destinations in other major nations as well. Some low-budget airlines fly to Thorsborg, from where there is a high speed connection to Sjoedrhavn. Your match ticket serves as a ticket on all national and Sjoedrhavn trains for three days before and after the match! If you fly to Pawlograd, there is a ferry connection which takes about three hours and is covered by the ticket as well. Alternatively, you may want to take a domestic flight which will likely cost you around 30-50 SAK. Visa are easy to get as most Rushmori nations don't need a visum (but need to announce their stay - if you fly with IAS, that was taken care of when you bought the ticket). For the week before and after the matches, this practice was extended to all citizens of nations coming to play in Savojarna. For staying longer, you will need a tourist visum which can be obtained at every Savojar embassy or consulate or on www.immigrationoffice.int.gov.sj.

In Savojarna, you will mostly use public transport. Within all participant cities, public transport is entirely free. Between cities, we have a high speed train network, the use of which is free to ticket holders on game days to travel to or from the venue! Inter-island-travel is usually done by boat (boat transfers are included in intercity train tickets, or can be bought on their own) or by domestic flights. Airports can be found in Sjoedrhavn, Pawlograd, St. Andrei, Thorsborg, Storevik, Virkaja and Hovikkära. Major ports are to be found in Sjoedrhavn, Pawlograd, Storevik, Hovikkära and Jarnstad. Public transport is reliable and affordable. If you want to rent a car, this is possible at airports and train stations. You need to have had a driving license of your home country for at least three years and be over 21 to rent a car, and to drive it you need to have a valid driver's license and be at least 18 years old.

A Place to Stay, A Way to Pay

Sjoedrhavn has a number of hotels and hostels in all price classes. For the games, we advise you to book early on to avoid bad surprises. In the whole country, a number of camping places and guesthouses can be found, while big hotels are not that common outside tourist hotspots. Small private guesthouses and Bed&Breakfasts are quite common in smaller towns and along tourist areas. Contact the SNTO under http://www.touristinfo.int.gov.sj for more information on a certain area.

You pay for all this with the Savojar Krona (SAK). There are coins for 10, 20 and 50 Öre and for 1, 2 and 5 Kronor, while the bank notes are worth 10, 20, 50, 100, 200 and 500 Kronor. Money can be obtained at any change bureau or bank, and there are such located in any major train station or airport. Please only use the Bank of Savojarna exchange places/banks, as other offers are illegal and we do not guarantee that you will not receive invalid or fake money. The Bank of Savojarna is the only institution licensed to offer exchange. You can also obtain money at any ATM, which are equipped to use most credit and debit cards used in the Multiverse. However, this cannot be expected of stores and shops, as Savojars typically pay for things with cash.

Typical prices in central Sjoedrhavn:
- a big beer (0.5 l): 3-5 SAK
- a glass of water or soda (0.5 l): 1.50-3 SAK
- a coffee: 1.50 SAK
- a meal in a restaurant: 15-20 SAK
- a taxi ride (5 km, day): 15 SAK
- a night at a hotel (three stars): 55-80 SAK
- a night at a hostel: 15-20 SAK
- a cinema ticket: 10-15 SAK

Sjoedrhavn

Sjoedrhavn is the nation's capital, located in the south of Vestrholm in a natural harbour. Due to this location, it became a big trading station and a major port for the navy. The old town of Sjoedrhavn comes largely from the 17th and 18th century, while the Docklands, serving as the primary nightlife district of the city, were erected in the early 20th century. It is the traditional seat of power in Savojarna through most of the modern time, and even longer ago in Vestrholm. It is a pride and vibrant city that stands on par with many other capital cities in the Multiverse.

Thorsborg

Thorsborg is the second-biggest city of Vestrholm. It is located at a strategic location, a crossroads of trade routes between Jarnstad, Sjoedrhavn and Landsmark. Thorsborg is located on a step in the landscape that allows for use of water power. This location eventually turned the military stronghold into an industrial powerhouse in the 19th century, and a beacon of revolution in 1909. In the 1970s and 1980s, a gradual shift towards a technology-oriented industry happened. Today, Thorsborg is a center of youth culture, energy production and tech companies. It is both an industrial and cultural center, even though this vibrant city has not held significant political power since the rise of Sjoedrhavn.

Storevik

This far-North city is the capital of Ejana, the smallest and roughest of Savojarna's main islands. In the past, it had grown rich and powerful off its natural resources, mainly copper, iron and silver. Ejanan rulers had been the first to unite Savojarna under their rule, based on their riches and their powerful warriors. Nowadays, Storevik is a pulsating, modern port city. Due to the relatively low population of Ejana, this had always been a place full of immigrants from all over Savojarna. It is also a historically significant location, as the Revolution of 1909 started here, when angry miners from the island's rich mines had besieged the administrative buildings of the Province. These events are memorised in a museum that is considered one of Savojarna's best museums, and the people up here are known as some of the most passionate ice hockey fans of the country. And they are incredibly hospitable, making sure your stay in Ejana will be enjoyable.

Pawlograd

Pawlograd is the biggest town and economic center of Russica Savojar. While its administration lays in the 18th century colonial town of Savojagrad, this has been the area's biggest port from where all the goods acquired in Russica were shipped north to Sjoedrhavn. The connection of Pawlograd and Sjoedrhavn remains the main arteria of Savojarna's economy and the survival of its inhabitants, as the majority of the nation's agricultural output comes from the Russica region. Its inhabitants speak a Russian dialect and have a large Christian minority, based largely in the rural area and around St. Andrei. In the Northern parts of Russica, and especially the Pawlograd region, international influences are high. Pawlograd is a melting pot unprecedented within Savojarna, and one of the most dynamic and vibrant cities in the nation. Its inhabitants love hockey, and its two teams share a bitter rivalry.

St. Andrei

The old inland city of St. Andrei, named after the patron saint of Russica, St. Andrei the Blessed Zealot who unified Russica under the Christian faith, is the culutral centre of this old region. While Russica's beating economic heart may be in Pawlograd, its religion has its seat in the famous Great Cathedral of Holy King Andrei, where the Patriarch of St. Andrei resides. In the late 18th and early 19th century, St. Andrei was the centre of a literary trend singing the praises of an old Russica when pretty young girls were freely playing in the grain fields of the country while their brothers would harvest the grain and their grandfathers would sing the traditional songs of the country, with not a single Savojar in sight. While these times were long gone, the longing for them wasn't, and it lead to the Russian National Movement that would be forcibly crushed later this century. Nowadays, St. Andrei is an old and proud city, living off tourism and its cultural aura that is second to none in Savojarna. Come and visit the cathedral, explore its ancient mediaeval core, and some core sites of the Savojar Revolution in Russica.

STADION TRAKTOROV

Capacity: 11'980
Team: Traktor St. Andrei
Hosts: Group C

Hovikkära

The biggest city of the island of Sumanen lays in the South of the island, where it connects the island and its large timber and mining industry to the rest of the country. Hovikkära is a port and trading city, which has relatively little industry itself. However, it has been a political and trade center of its island in the past, and while South Sumanen has not been independent for a long time, Sjoedrhavn's representants have governed the area from Hovikkära's small but pretty old town. The city is smaller than other regional centers of Savojarna, but considered a "secret gem" by many travelling sites for its beautiful 18th/19th century old town, its harbour which is an industrial museum, and for its representative district overlooking old town and harbour.

Virkaja

The capital of Sumanen is a city that has an old history, but has not been more than a small lumberjack settlement until the 19th century. Only with the advancement and modernisation of the timber industry could the city of Virkaja grow into the "Giant in the Forest" that it is known of today. This place has been decried as a boring town only good for sleeping and working for years, but since the 1970s Virkaja has undergone a massive transformation. Starting out with a spectacular rock music scene in the industrial environment of the city in the late 60s and the early 70s, followed up by a movement to revitalise the city, this massive capital of the Savojar timber industry could improve its quality of life to the point that it is now considered one of the major places to be for the young, independent counter-culture of Savojarna. It is also the capital and home of the Savojar Air Force, leading to a great technical development in the city which further vitalised life in this rapidly changing place.

Capacity: 19'000
Home team: Savojars Vinge Virkaja

Jarnstad

Jarnstad is a city that has wielded great power in the middle ages, when its easily defensible position north of a mountain range and its access to near unlimited ore (hence its name, meaning Iron City in Savojarsk) meant that it could defend its territory easily. It was the only part of the country to have a King all the way through the First Empire, although it was a ceremonial role for the most part, and played a crucial role in its breakup in the 14th century. Jarnstad still is largely a working class town, being the centre of the mining industry and the railroad industry, and suffers from large-scale emigration to the South, where winters are less cold and grey. But in the autumn, it has a rough charm that has been recently discovered by Savojar travel bloggers who fawn over the rock formations in the nearby mountains, the abandoned mines repurposed into hip restaurants, galleries and bars, and over the accessible dragon reserves (half an hour north of the city by train). Its inhabitants are proud of their origin and their hockey team, Metall Jarnstad. Traditionally, it has a very strong local identity and relies on homegrown players more than any other Savojar team besides ESK.

Capacity: 13'800

Landsmark

A military town almost since its inception, Landsmark has been shaped by its geography. The city is placed on a peninsula on Vestrholm's eastern coast, theoretically the closest major port to Sumanen (although it has continuously been overshadowed by Sjoedrhavn due to the higher wealth and prestige of the latter and due to the fact that on the part of Sumanen's coast opposite Landsmark, there is only forest) and largely cut off from the rest of the country by a lake. This makes it a perfect place for a defensive fort controlling the strait between the two islands, and this is exactly what the Sydjarl dynasty did in the 15th century after acquiring the land. Landsmark nowadays houses a major armed forces base, and in sports, it is famous for the development teams of the mighty CASK. As being a development team who often had to hand over its best players to Thorsborg soon after their blossoming fell right in line with the perennial feeling of abandonment the Landsmarker had, it soon spiralled into a famous and brutal rivalry. Landsmark's fans are known to be very loud and enthusiastic when they play CASK, or any of the top teams, but the city itself is considered to be pretty friendly, although a bit boring. If you don't enjoy Landsmark's charms (of which there are some, most notably the beautiful nature right to its North and West), it is very easily reachable by a roughly 45 minute train ride from bustling Sjoedrhavn.

Siovanija and Teusland National Hockey Team

Facts

Nation Name: United Republics of Siovanija and Teusland
Short Names: Siovanija and Teusland, the United Republics
Demonyms: Siovanijan, Teuslander/Teus
Governing Body: Hockey Siovanija and Teusland
Colours: Blue, gold, white
Anthem: ‘High Mountain Skies’
Highest Domestic League: Ehrenliga
Nicknames: The Goldhorns
Style Modifier: +4

Head Coach: Aaron KUHN (Stelburg Kaisers)

Aaron Kuhn returns to his place behind the national team bench for World Cup of Hockey 38. His Stelburg Kaisers team lost in game 7 of the Strauss Cup Final last season, and he’s surely hungry to take the Goldhorns to another level at this tournament. Kuhn’s teams play the classic Siovanija and Teusland brand of hockey: fast and physical. Young Ehrenliga stars like Timo Schlager and Frank Heider are perfect examples of this: incredibly fast, Schlager in particular being considered one of the best skaters in the league, and also not afraid to use their bodies if need be. Eliminated from World Cup of Hockey 37 in the Round of 16, the hope for the team this tournament is that they can go a little deeper than that and leave their mark on this tournament.

Roster

Goaltenders

G -- David WAGNER -- 29y/o -- Stelburg Kaisers -- #1
G -- Ruslan IVANOV -- 32y/o -- Admirala Pomorie -- #30
G -- Volker SEIDEN -- 25y/o -- Eisbaren Stelburg -- #31

David Wagner takes over the starting position for the WCoH thanks to his exceptional performances over the last few seasons in the Ehrenliga. He led the league in GAA and S% last season, was named the league’s Best Goalie, and guided his team to the Strauss Cup Finals again. He’s excellent under pressure, and clearly Aaron Kuhn feels that in a high-pressure tournament situation, he is the man. There could be no better backup than Ruslan Ivanov, the Admirala Pomorie man who has been key to the national team’s success over the last few years. Asked before boarding the plane to Savojarna about his new role with the team, Ivanov replied that he’s excited to help David and the entire team achieve their goals. Volker Seiden returns as the third goalie for the tournament.

Defencemen
D -- Bojidar IVANKOV -- 31y/o -- Admirala Pomorie -- #2
D -- Jorg GOTTSCHALL -- 26y/o -- Seelowe Marlesee -- #3
D -- Koloman SCHWARZMANN -- 27y/o -- Teufelsberg Devils -- #4
D -- Timo HORN -- 31y/o -- St. Jakob Saints -- #5
D -- Gregor HERDER -- 28y/o -- Stelburg Kaisers -- #6
D -- Stefan SCHIELE -- 19y/o -- Marzig Wolves -- #8
D -- Lothar SCHERER -- 31y/o -- Stelburg Kaisers -- #22

The Goldhorns’ veteran defence corps returns to this tournament, with some changes to the pairings and a new face joining the ranks. Bojidar Ivankov and Jorg Gottschall are the top pair, great chemistry between the two-way Ivankov and the puck-moving Gottschall. Koloman Schwarzmann, whose Ehrenliga highlight reel is full of massive hits as well as a cannon of a slapshot, pairs up with Timo Horn. Horn is a quite versatile defender who will be expected to pinch more and play the puck more on a pairing with the big man Schwarzmann. Gregor Herder is a constantly reliable defender who always makes the smart play on the puck, while Stefan Schiele joins the national team for the first time: the Wolves’ draft pick proving to be a great offensive defenceman last season, and he could in fact see some special teams minutes this year. He was one of the reasons why the Wolves had one of the best power-plays in the Ehrenliga last season. Lothar Scherer is back as the 7th defenceman, capable of playing any role he is called for.

Left Wing

LW -- Alex SCHNYDER -- 29y/o -- Teufelsberg Devils -- #7
LW -- Frank HEIDER -- 23y/o -- Seelowe Marlesee -- #14
LW -- Kosyo VARBANOV -- 29y/o -- Rudar Trkev -- #13
LW -- Veselin FILIPOV -- 30y/o -- Olympia Borograd -- #15

The left side features a very, very strong contingent of players for the national team. Alex Schnyder is one of the best goal-scorers in the Ehrenliga, he put up 53 goals last season to lead the league and being 4th in overall points. His one-timer is probably the best in the league, and any time he is on the puck the goalie needs to be aware. Frank Heider has developed into one of the best playmakers in the league during his career, but he also has the capability to score goals. Usually when they come for Heider, they come when needed: he certainly has a clutch gene about him, and has great chemistry with his centre Timo Schlager. Kosyo Varbanov is a veteran of the team, and another very capable playmaker. Veselin Filipov makes up the left flank of an all-Olympia 4th unit that serves as this team’s energy unit but is capable of creating on its own as well.

Right Wing

RW -- Razvigor TSVETANOV -- 24y/o -- Admirala Pomorie -- #19
RW -- Wolfram SPIEGEL -- 32y/o -- Stelburg Kaisers -- #12
RW -- Christian HASSELBERGER -- 26y/o -- Pinguine Ternau -- #24
RW -- Grozdan ADAMOV -- 32y/o -- Olympia Borograd -- #17

No national team roster would be complete without Razvigor Tsvetanov at the very top of the right wing depth chart. 50 Ehrenliga goals last season, and the power forward is perhaps the best pure goalscorer in the league. It’s hard to stop him when he’s on the puck, and that applies to both defenders and goalies alike. Wolfram Spiegel had 47 goals last season as he continues to produce as he ages, Spiegel has always been good for his country and that will be expected to continue this tournament. Christian Hasselberger is an energy player, doing a lot of heavy lifting to win the puck along the boards. There’s no one on this team you want in the corners more than him, as he is a big physical presence. Grit isn’t the only part of his game, however, and he’s had consecutive 20 goal seasons for Ternau now. Grozdan Adamov is back, a strong playmaker who will provide much of the creativity on the fourth line.

Centres

C -- Gunter PFENNING -- 31y/o -- St. Jakob Saints -- #9
C -- Timo SCHLAGER -- 22y/o -- Seelowe Marlesee -- #97
C -- Edwin RANGER -- 21y/o -- Stelburg Kaisers -- #34
C -- Gero RADULOV -- 28y/o -- Olympia Borograd -- #64
C -- Vitomir GLASKOV -- 19y/o -- Energija Chernovets -- #20

The depth the Goldhorns possess at centre is ridiculous, and this will be a core strength of the team at the World Cup of Hockey. Gunter Pfenning is our nation’s greatest-ever player, and is fresh off winning his third career Strauss Cup. He was the playoff MVP as well as the league MVP, and put up 98 points. There’s just a certain aura around him: a consummate professional, a strong leader on and off the ice, and a player with incredible on-ice vision. Pfenning is the leader of this team, and with his third Strauss Cup secured, the goal of his career now is to guide Siovanija and Teusland to new heights. Behind him is Timo Schlager, the heir apparent who led the Ehrenliga in scoring last season (101 points). Schlager has an explosive first step when skating, and blows by defenders with ease. He is the best puck-handler in the league, and reads the game at an exceptional level. He can shoot and pass very well, scoring 45 last year, but it is his playmaking ability that will help out on a line with Wolfram Spiegel this tournament. Next up is Edwin Ranger, the Stelburg Kaisers centre, who many pundits say has the best wrist shot in the Ehrenliga. Ranger is a big man who uses his body well, and he often plays in front of the net when working the power-play. Gero Radulov centres the fourth unit, a very skilled player in his own right but capable of playing the role tasked with. Vitomir Glaskov, last year’s #1 overall draft pick, is a great playmaker and will make a key part of the future of the centre ice position for his country, he serves as the 13th forward in this tournament.

Captain: Gunter Pfenning
Alternate Captains: Bojidar Ivankov, Alex Schnyder

Group and Schedule

The Goldhorns have been drawn into Group 1 for World Cup of Hockey 38’s group stage, which will consist of a single-stage round robin with points based on international rules (3 for a win, 2 for OT win, 1 for OT loss). The overtime format internationally is the same as it is in the Ehrenliga. The World Cup of Hockey will be hosted by Savojarna, who previously hosted the 34th edition of the tournament. Here is the full list of teams in Group 1:

Savojarna (12)
Siovanija and Teusland (14)
Cassadaigua (22)
Bolgano (UR)
Greater Cebu (UR)
Kingdom of the Polar Bear (UR)

Kingdom of the Polar Bear, Greater Cebu and Bolgano are all new nations to the World Cup of Hockey. Cassadaigua, ranked 22nd, have previously won the competition (WCoH 11). The Goldhorns have never faced off against Cassadaigua before, and the game on matchday 4 will likely be massive in determining the playoff picture in group 1. The Goldhorns are also drawn alongside the hosts, Savojarna. Ranked 12th in the world, the Savojar have been to the final of WCoH 34. The two nations were drawn together in the group stages of WCoH 37 as well. Siovanija and Teusland won the away leg 5-3, while the Savojar defeated the Goldhorns in Stelburg 5-4. It should be a great game as the sides go head to head on matchday 2. Here is the full schedule for the Goldhorns at the World Cup of Hockey.

Matchday 1: Siovanija and Teusland vs Greater Cebu
Matchday 2: Savojarna vs Siovanija and Teusland
Matchday 3: Siovanija and Teusland vs Kingdom of the Polar Bear
Matchday 4: Siovanija and Teusland vs Cassadaigua
Matchday 5: Bolgano vs Siovanija and Teusland

We’ll have all the latest news and highlights as the Goldhorns take on the world again at World Cup of Hockey 38! Come on you Goldhorns!

Nickname: The Icy Elephants
Style Mod: 0

Ice hockey is the most popular sport in Elejamie, followed by football/soccer (both are acceptable in Elejamie) and rugby [union], In fact, the men's national team - nicknamed the Icy Elephants, not to be confused with the ENIHL team Elejamie City Ice Elephants - are one of the best teams in the multiverse, having made the World Cup of Hockey finals four times in four consecutive competitions; winning two (29th edition against Gregoryisgodistan and 31st edition against Valanora) and losing two (30th and 32nd, both times against disliked rivals Valanora), as well as two bronze medal games; although the B-team won a gold medal in the men's ice hockey at the 12th Winter Olympics, they're considered a different team and as a result their achievement is not counted alongside the two WCoH wins. They've also been one of the best teams in the tournament, very nearly making it out of the group stage in their inaugural tournament, making it to the quarter-finals in their second, winning the bronze in their third and staying in the top ten in rankings since the 29th edition (and top 3 since the 30th WCoH), even nabbing a third trophy in the 35th edition.

In the last edition in the Equestrian States, Elejamie somewhat struggled in the early part of the group stages, with long-time head coach Michael Madgwick (who retired after the 33rd edition only to come back sometime later) stepping down as official head coach after the fourth game (a goalless draw against Devonta) and leaving the position vacant while he and fellow long-time assistant coaches Ron Berg and Tim Furst took it in turns to carry on the role. This seemed to have worked a bit better as they got a string of wins (as well as a draw that pushed them down to third) before finally finishing top of the group with a 7-2-1 record. After sweeping Mytanija in the Ro16, they lost their first QF game against Abanhfleft 3-1 before bouncing back with 2-1 and 5-4 (after OT) wins to make it through to the semi-finals. They lost to eventual victors Neu Engollon but they swept Vilita and Turori to take home the bronze.

After an attempt to bring the World Cup of Hockey back a few months ago went absolutely nowhere due to a lack of interest, the competition finally returned for its 38th installment, with Savojarna having the honours of hosting the competition. With a new full-time coach in Ron Berg and almost the same line-up as the last competition (George Lincoln being the only player missing due to his retirement from the sport), Elejamie are hoping to carry on their winning ways, even hoping for the possibility of a fourth star on their jerseys. Will they be able to manage it or will it just lead to more disappointment? Only one way to find out...

RBC Wins Broadcasting Rights for World Cup of Hockey

Hockey Night in Siovanija and Teusland just got a massive new addition to its broadcasting lineup: rights to the Siovanija and Teusland national hockey team’s games at the World Cup of Hockey.

The deal, signed with Hockey Siovanija and Teusland, gives the national broadcaster rights to the national team for the next 4 editions of the World Cup of Hockey. A deal between RBC (Republic Broadcasting Corporation) and RSN (Republic Sports Network), however, allows RSN to broadcast 1 game from the group stage of each tournament. RSN also received the rights to one game per playoff round not involving Siovanija and Teusland, as well as the rights to any future World Juniors tournament. RBC will show the Goldhorns’ games against Greater Cebu, Savojarna, Kingdom of the Polar Bear and Bolgano, while RSN will carry the game with Cassadaigua.

“We’re really excited about this deal. Siovanijans and Teus have come to expect quality hockey broadcasting from our RBC Sports crew, and we look forward to carrying on the national tradition at the World Cup,” commented RBC President Stefan Muller. In a press release, RBC announced that it would air all games live, as well as re-running the game during the primetime hours.

Hockey Night in Siovanija and Teusland was established in 1943 as a radio broadcast from RBC Radio One during Saturday night Ehrenliga games. The programme has persisted through technological developments as well as changes in the league, as it went from its founding 6 members to the 20 teams present today. HNIST airs every Saturday, showing games at 4:00, 7:00 and 10:00. The 7:00 ‘marquee’ game is usually the top rated television program in the country for the week. The brand has also been carried over to the Wednesday night games aired on RBC. Given that hockey is a national obsession in this country - a larger than you would think proportion of citizens answered 'hockey' as their religion on the most recent census - the acquisition of the national team's games will be a massive moneymaker for RBC.

While in this country hockey players are the biggest celebrities around, HNIST’s personalities have their own status as well. Ronald Mensing, for example, a former TMJHL (Teus Major Junior Hockey League) referee, is the host of HNIST’s Saturday broadcasts and perhaps the most recognizable media figure in the country. Play-by-play voices like Ivan Kolikov or Jurgen Schiltz are also recognized across the country.

No figure is more known, however, than Oskar Kirsche. The controversial Kirsche hosts ‘Kirsche’s Corner’ during the first intermission of 7:00 games. In addition to a long TMJHL and minor league career, he played 1 Ehrenliga game for Eisbaren Stelburg. He also served as the coach of Eisbaren for 6 years, winning 2 Strauss Cup titles, before moving on to coach the Teufelsberg Devils for 3 years. Since then, he has served as the intermission entertainment for HNIST. For the most part, his focus is on the action around the league: the best goals, hits and highlights from the week, as well as providing advice to young hockey players. Sometimes, however, Kirsche has stepped too far and received criticism. The height of this was a statement that ‘only Siovanijan guys wear visors anyway,’ which caused an outcry in Siovanija and calls for him to be taken off the air. Mr. Kirsche’s program was instead put on a timed delay by RBC.

RBC has announced that their panel will be live in Savojarna for the duration of the World Cup of Hockey, fully covering all the action surrounding the national hockey team. That means Kirsche’s Corner will also be live from the WCoH, with Kirsche giving his thoughts on the international game. He has made a few comments on this subject in the past, notably claiming the Ehrenliga to be ‘the best league in the world’ (ranked 14th internationally as of the most recent Hockey Champion’s League) and the Goldhorns to be ‘easily the best in the world’ (ranked 14th heading into the WCoH). Mr. Kirsche has, however, given credit to teams that have beaten the Goldhorns in the past. It is expected that the RBC will attempt to keep a tight leash on him during this tournament to avoid any controversy amidst the good publicity that comes with the network now being the home of our national hockey team.

The puck drops on World Cup of Hockey action soon, so make sure to stay tuned to RBC Sports as well as the Stelburger Zeitung for all the latest highlights and updates from the tournament. The national team take on Greater Cebu in the first game of round robin play. Come on you Goldhorns!

One of those teams that usually shows up for the World Cup of Hockey but doesn't seem to leave that kind of lasting impression you'd expect from the usually competent Hinodejin sports teams. They're managed by a former wonderkid from the Mido-Hinode University and have yet to really win any kind of silverware on the sport. Maybe this is the year?

REPUBLIC CITY --- Gyatso-kai is set to send the National Team abroad in the Twenty-Sixth Edition of the World Cup of Hockey.

While it has been over eighteen jì since the last time we saw our boys in black take to the ice, the team has yet to slow down on what seems like a whirlwind birth. From obscurity and retirement back in April to now a fully-fledged team in October, the Ice Bisons are hoping to not endure the same fate as the National Football team did in their first ever regional tournament...

Coming out in last place...

We do not have much else to say on the Bisons, so take a look down at our roster for the tournament and let us hope from some great Hockey!!!

As has become expected, GyatsoAir --- in partnership with the AHL and the National Sports Council --- have promised to offer reduced-pricing on airline tickets to the Storevik, the capital city of the small island known as Ejana, for the Group Stage of the Thirty-Eighth World Cup of Hockey. Should the Ice Bisons emerge victorious, all transport to the other venues in Savojarna shall be provide at no additional cost. In addition, each game the Ice Bisons play in shall be aired on the entire ASPN family of networks (ASPN Prime, ASPN2, AVS, ASPN3, UASPN): All other games shall air on the World Sports Nation and World Sports Nation PLUS, which are being made available on all television and internet-provider services at NO COST from now until the conclusion of the World Cup of Hockey.

Roster

Position #	Name		Age	Hand	College				Current Team
GK	22	BAO Lin		32	R	Keldabe State Univ.		Ba Sing Se Bears
DEF	32	WATANG Kouji	24	R	Univ. of Kibago			Beijing Stars
DEF	91	KANG Deniigi	36	R	Republic City State Univ.	Kyrimorut Ramikade
OFF	19	CHEUNG Sepi	26	L	Saigon City College		Kelita Riverhounds
OFF	86	Nestori HUAN	27	R	Ba Sing Se Univ.		Shu Jing Dragons
OFF	49	SONG Unataq (C)	32	R	University of Adirolf		Gaoling Bears

Out of the six players on the first line, three have played on the Ice Bisons before. Both Kang Deniigi and Song Unataq have come a long way from their time on the third and fourth lines of the Ice Bisons back in WCoH XXV; with Kang having developed into a generational defenseman for the Kyrimorut Ramikade, and Song having brought a powerful sniping left-winger to the perennial last place Gaoling Bears; with Song having set both the record for most assist in a single season for the Bears as well as the most consecutive games with a goal to start the season also with the Bears. Bao Lin, once the starting netminder during the Royal Alexandre Hockey Invitational, now finds himself a well-season goalie far removed from his days back at Keldabe State. Utilising a stand-up style, Bao is kick to stop play and break up any momentum the opponent was hoping to build up.

To round out the first line, Kang is paired with Watang Kouji, a young Fire national out of Beijing who won the MVP for last jì's Kuruk Cup. An impressive player reminiscent of Song Sorua, Watang is known for powerful forechecks and his insane speed on the backskate. To solidify the front, Cheung Sepi of Kelita fame finds himself opposite Song, with Nestori Huan in the center. A bit of an odd pick, from the Shu Jing Dragons who haven't made the Kuruk Playoffs in 4 seasons. Despite such lackluster performance from his team, Huan showed himself to be rather indispensable during tryouts, showing off his incredible hockey vision as well as his preference to not hog the limelight.

Position #	Name		Age	Hand	College				Current Team
DEF	26	HITEKI Kia (A)	38	R	Uni. of the Southern Tribes	Southern Polar Leopards
DEF	77 	HED Torvik	26	L	Uni. of the Northern Tribes	Itakawai Lightning
OFF	18	WANG Torsti	24	L	Adirolf State University	Si Wong Beetles
OFF	21 	HOSAKA Severi	21	R	Drotenfao College		Gaoling Bears
OFF	17	KIL'OR Alecyc	23	L	Roku University			Itakawai Lightning

With Hiteki Kia having 49 caps on the Ice Bisons uner his belt, he is the most seasoned player on the team, and rightfully wears the first A. Renowned for his ability as "damage control" through the last two World Cups he played in, Hiteki is set to do much the same now that he is paired with the youthful vigor of the "Mandalorian Shield" that is Hed Torvik. Standing at just under two metres in height and tipping scales at 101 kilograms, Hed is an impressive northern Mando who has shown time and time again in his four seasons with the Itakawai Lightning that you do not want to be between him and the boards at any time.

On offense, Wang Torsti from Si Wong finds himself on the left side of the ice, opposite another Itakawai favored son in Kil'or Alecyc. Both men played in the Southern Island Conference in college, and often times faced off against each other as their two schools - Adirolf State University and the University of Kom'rk - where strong and very heated rivals. While their professional teams do not inspire the same rivalries, both have remained in touch throughout the years and spent a great deal of time together preparing for the Tryouts. In the middle, a recent gradate from the prestigious Drotenfao College, Hosaka Severi brings a blinding speed to the center, on a line that will often times be called out to quicken the pace of a game and to bring about more scoring chances.

 Position #	Name		Age	Hand	College				Current Team    
DEF	92	Ki'an LOSOW (A)	32	R	University of Keldabe		Outer Ring RabbiRoos
DEF	31	Ero'ki NACER	18	L	Hatsu University		Hatsu University
OFF	71	RELICYC Tho-An	21	L	Republic City State Uni.	Itakawai Lightning
OFF	87	KOBUSHI Kaede	28	L	Royal Earth Uni - Dongjiang	Keldabe Strills
OFF	33	SOUMA Shichiro	25	R	Yokoua State University		Senlin Archers

With Ki'an Losow, who was last seen on the National Team's Travelling Corps back in WCoH XXVI, serving as the veteran pillar of the third line, you can be sure that this line is the true "clean-up crew" of the Ice Bisons. A strong defenceman who one played solely on offense, Losow has no fear in leaving his zone and pushing in for a quick goal from one of the most unlikely players. Sure, his form is a bot on the unrefined side of the spectrum, but for what he lacks in technical mastery, he makes up in the psychological.

Pairing with Losow is the youngest player on the Ice Bisons, Ero'ki Nacer, who is just finishing his first season at Hatsu University. With his imposing size and fierce nature, expect many players to get right up and close to Nacer, only to have them get thrown into the glass with such vigor that they may second-guess any decision to stand up again.

Offensively, the third line is filled with strong passers and even stronger shooters. Both Relicyc Tho-An and Souma Shichiro have done amazingly well in skills competitions involving accuracy and shot speeds, with Kobushi Kaede serving as the trapper of the line; with an impressive 190cm wingspan, Kobushi can easily reach out and take hold of any enemy puck without so much as a blink.

An ASPN Production, Brought to you on ASPN.co.gki

REPUBLIC CITY --- Aaron Yitsune

Here we are, ladies, gentlemen, and individuals of a non-binary gender. We are sitting on the cusps of what is our first World Cup of Hockey in over twelve editions and eighteenjì! I cannot begin to tell you how excited I am, and in fact, as soon as this posts, I will be boarding a plane for Savojarna and preparing myself for what will likely be the most exciting five days of our year!

The Group Schedule was announced just the other day, and here it is:

Match Day 01 - 6 November at

Tornado Queendom_UR
Match Day 02 - 7 November vs

Terre Septentrionale_UR
Match Day 03 - 8 November at

Vilita & Turori₄
Match Day 04 - 9 November vs

Anthor₁₅
Match Day 05 - 10 November BYE DAY

And a very interesting group to be thrown into...

To open our return to the Multi-Verse, the Ice Bisons will be facing off against a pair unranked opponents fresh on the Multi-Verse stage, which in and of itself may not be a bad thing. With Tornado Queendom ranked as a +/- 0, the first game out of the gate will give the Ice Bisons, who are ranked as a +3.2 a chance to stretch their wings and settle into themselves.

After the Torpedo Queendom, comes the ever puzzling new commercial of Terre Septentrionale, or as they have translated their name into Basic as the "Northern Lands". For the sake of consistency, I shall be referring to them as Terre Sept; always the problem with covering the Multi-Verse is when you have to handle the names of countless Nations and countless Languages... But anyway... With a very similar offensive style as our own (+2.0) we are sure to see quite a few great goals being sent behind the netminders and deep into nets and crossbars.

The real tournament begins after two match days, when Gyatso-kaiis reunited with an old tournament opponent who we have faced off against many times in the past; the Ice Cat Things of Vilita and Turori. In tournaments past, we always seemed to find the Ice Cat Things in the post-group stages. It will be a very interesting match with the teams essentially equally matched (+3.14159 is where ASPN puts the Ice Cat Things compared to our +3.2). However, as will be the key whenever we faced higher ranked and much more seasoned teams, our defence must shut down any opportunities for the opponents to score, and Bao must stand firm in the next to break off momentum with every puck stop.

After the Ice Cat Things, we come up to the final match, and one we will certainly not be going into well-rested... Anthor. The Anthoran Ducks, last ranked by ASPN at a +3.0 are sure to be a difficult team. The came back from a bitter defeat in World Cup XXXV in the group stage to claw and quack their way to the Championship in World Cup XXXVI, and likely partied so much that they completely missed the Thirty-Seventh Edition. All joking aside, the Ducks are not to be taken lightly, and if we can clip their wings, and soar above them, we just might make it out of the group stage alive...

However, let me be frank... I am not expecting us to get out of the Group Stage.

Sure, back when Gyatso-kai made its debut on the Multi-Verse stage back in World Cup XV, we made it all the way to the Third Place game against Cotdelapoms and pulled a single-goal victory after we got stomped 3-nil by Plutoni in the Semifinals. But you cannot expect to catch lightning in a bottle twice, and we have to be realistic in our expectations.

Do I want to see us go all the way?

ABSOLUTELY!

Will I be calling for Head Coach Ishii's head on a pike if we go nil-and-5?

ABSOLUTELY NOT!!!

We did not get exactly the worse group (look to Group E, with three Top 25 Teams) and we are going to have to fight tooth and nail for every goal, especially in those last two games before the bye.

So let us enjoy the great island town of St Andrei, the religious center of Savojarna and comparable to our own Island of the Avatars, and let us fill that Stadion Traktorov --- all 11,980 seats of it --- with as many Avatarian flags as we can and may our voices ring as loud as ever possible.

Because our boys are going to need every decibel...

SavojarSports.sj - inside reports from all Savojarna
Home World Cup roster is revealed

Savojarna plays a game that is mostly depending on tactical discipline and puck possession. While the Savojars do value a good deflection or rebound goal, and certainly have many players who can do such things, they usually prefer a pass to a shot from a desperate position hoping for a lucky bounce. Their players think fast rather than move exceptionally fast (but they are not slow either!), with a few exceptions on the attack since the coaching changed and the team is a bit more aggressive. While they don't have to hide from anyone, they are usually not physically superior.

In terms of tactics, they play an aggressive forechecking with one or two men, trying to force puck losses, and drop back to their own blue line once the opponent has reached the neutral zone. They attempt to keep the opponent away from their own side, and defend usually quite solid. On the attack, Savojarna's top lines work with a lot of passing and cycling the puck to find an open lane while the third and fourth line play deeper and with more drive to the net. Especially the fourth line often crowds the slot, while the third is more likely to go deep and play behind the net. Usually, the Savojars play with 13 forwards and 7 defenders. On the men's team, Glukov can be expected to barely play outside special teams.

The Savojar team plays a powerplay focused mainly on shooting from the point and the circle. The two defenders play both in the area between the blue line and the top of the circle, but occasionally advance to the circle. The winger on the side of the puck moves to the circle to be open and get a shot off, the other winger moves towards the goal to assist the center in screening and opening shooting lanes. The center remains in front of the goal. In penalty killing, Savojarna lets the opponent play around the boards, but intervenes quickly if the puck moves inside the box. They play a PK with relatively little pressure.

PK1: Asgeirsson - Falborg - Andersson - Jaskinen
PK2: Ingerman - Glukov - Elyagin - Gränlund

Players

Goalkeepers: Nick Hoyman is the main goalie of Savojarna. He is an athletic and quite spectacular butterfly goalkeeper who is very hard to beat off the first shot, but gives up a lot of rebounds. Obviously he got quite some practice in defending against them as a consequence, but facing against teams who shoot the puck a lot he is bound to give up some goals. Kerjanen is a very different type and considered Hoyman’s equal. He is more stationary and relies a lot on his insane skills of reading play and knowing what to expect from an opponent. He and Hoyman will alternate group stage games, and Kerjanen may also play a KO game (this is indicated in RP if it happens). Strakhov has been considered the best goalie in the SHS for a while, but is past his prime. He is extremely consistent on a somewhat mediocre level, and mainly on the team as an off-ice leader.

Defencemen
Following the retirement from international play of Alexey Yarchenko, Kristiansen has inherited the task of organising defence as well as the role as Savojarna’s leader. He has great spatial awareness and good passing skills, but is a bit limited in physical play (by Savojar standards) and doesn’t have the shot expected by an OFD. Asgeirsson is a shutdown defender whose speciality is to relentlessly attack the opponent’s key players in the defensive zone and wear them down with hard checks. The second pairing has probably the most offensive firepower. Falborg is a pinching defenceman who has high speed and stamina, and is very good at keeping the blue line. His linemate Mikael Ingerman is considered to have the hardest shot in the SHS, but is often considered a bit lacking in judgment. Due to his overall conservative disposition, that rather means overly safe play than giving up chances, so the risks are limited. Troels is a hard-working player who will run after every puck and secure the blue line, as well as having a decent shot, whereas Nordrsson is a player whose main strength is to construct and guide the game with the puck. Defensively, he is limited, explaining his third line status. Glukov is a physical player with an extremely hard shot, and an off-ice leader, but age has worn down his stamina. He is kept on the team as a special teams player and a leader in the locker room. Lajanen is a solid allrounder with some lack of experience internationally, and will be used against offensive top teams to stabilise the defence.

Centres
Simonen and Malinsson are both similar players who will be distributing pucks left and right. Both of them are somewhat lacking - again, to Savojar standards - in physicality and will suffer against very strong opposition that drive them away from the goal. Consequentially, they will mostly drift wide a bit and try to find open wingers at the posts. The main difference between them is that Malinsson is a technically more adept man, whereas Simonen relies more on vision and intelligence. Hejman is the only centre who mainly scores goals. He is a relentless sniper who often lurks at the hashmarks to find some space to drive to the goal, receive a pass and deflect or score. Andersson is another regular scorer, but thrives more off deflections and assists due to his hulking presence. He is also a very enduring player thanks to his time in the Mercedinian league. Finally, Hjalmarsson is a more physical playmaker who will be mostly used as a backup or an occasional 13th forward for the powerplay.

Wingers
Stefansson and Elegin both are extremely hard and precise shooters, who are great at utilising the passes from their centre. Both are fast on the first metres, but somewhat lacking on long, fast runs. Their physical presence often allows them to anchor themselves at the post and wait for a pass. Brzyhnev and Gulbrandsson are also similar to each other, but completely different than the top 2 wingers. They are fast players, and especially in the case of Gulbrandsson, dazzling technicians. Expect them to show glamourous plays on the counter and score a few breakaways. Both are considered to have barely any defensive responsibilities to allow their skills to shine. Gränlund is a player who thrives on the boards and in the corner, hard to drive away or separate from the puck, and good at pinching in to secure a rebound. His linemate Jaskinen is comparable to Stefansson and Elegin, but notably slower and stronger, lurking at the post rather than accelerating in from the side. Taranin is a sharpshooter operating from the side, bringing the puck to the net whenever he can, and hoping for goalies to miss it or for his linemate Elyagin to drive in and push it over the line. Dragunov is the more defensively oriented version of Elyagin, to be used more often when a lead must be defended.

Head Coach:

Bernardo Allegri • Trigramme: MRC • Nickname: The Kingfishers

Following the nation's historic 2nd place finish in the Equestrian States at the tournament's 36th edition, the Kingfishers couldn't go one better and claim their first World Cup of Hockey, as Neu Engollon pipped the team in black and blue at the end of a fifth-game title decider in Equestria to lift the title and rounding off what was a groundbreaking tournament for the team. It took them past the likes of Alpine Union and Vilita & Turori during the knockouts in a spectacular play-off run which took them to their first final, where they were overhauled by the Ibex of Neu Engollon in the final following a best-of-five tussle. Now, their team is refreshed after entering a long winter and spring period where hockey certainly wasn't on the mind of much of the populace. Delays in the Hockey Champion's League has meant the MSL domestic season has only recently come to a conclusion, leading many of the clubs in Mercedini to cope with severe fixture congestion come the end of the season, to finalise a league result while also giving time for recovery and consolidation for the league, its teams and their players. With plenty of debutante players taking part in the 37th edition, and the success of the side that went into that tournament as underdogs, it's little surprise that there is a similar feel to the roster for the 38th edition. Let's see who has made the trip to Savojarna and line-up for the 38th edition of the World Cup of Hockey.

Mercedinian-style hockey is much more irregular than its regulation counterparts from other nations, with players often staying on the ice for large periods of time, rarely changing only for injuries and drastic tactical changes. Changes are typically made during the inter-period intervals or during special events such as power-plays or short-handed periods, where management and coaches then assess tactics and change the line-ups from there. Changes are often made man for man at a specific position on the ice rather than a whole line change all at once, meaning there can be hundreds of different combination of players available to the coaching staff throughout the tournament, all depending on the opponents they are playing. This means Mercedinian hockey players are extremely fit and have tremendous stamina to last vast swathes of the period. However, tactical adaptability does become a challenge, with players excelling in some areas while lacking in others, with those qualities dependant on their preferred play-styles in the game.

GOALTENDERS
GT           Luke Carshavington       24             Severnaya Oblast
GT           Martin Adalya            31             Orga HC
GT           Adam Orlavic             20             Kaldex Tridents

Severnaya Oblast's Luke Carshavington gets the nod as first choice goaltender for the tournament as he maintains his position as the nation's number one, but it's likely that the second and third choice for Mercedini will almost certainly get a run out during middle period or against potential dead rubbers if they work their way to a position where they can afford to take their foot off the gas for a couple of matches. Adam Orlavic will be in accompaniment once again with the latest addition of Orga HC's Martin Adalya (thanks to his top performances which saw his team lift the domestic title a couple of seasons back), with the three goaltenders each having different positives and negatives which can be used to the teams advantage depending on the opponent. Defensive technique will need to be assessed after the team let several winning positions slip in the final tussle with the Ibex, but skill and talent might be enough to get the Kingfishers through to the knockout rounds once again

DEFENDERS 
D            Peter Pollock            27             Lokomotiv Nezaemy
D            Ian Pollock              23             Lokomotiv Nezaemy 
D            David Ornstein           22             Orga HC
D            Karl Darlington          25             Acoflosa Pengiuns
D            Magnus Demokritos        32             Zoloroni City Icers
D            Andris Draspanza         19             Blue Strike Zoloroni

The defensive roster as stayed marginally the same since the previous edition with every player from the first two lines called back up from the previous World Cups of Hockey in the Free Republics, Anthor and Equestria. The Pollock brothers, still playing their hockey in Lokomotiv Nezaemy, remain the first choice for the defensive line thanks to their speed with the puck combining well the communication that the brothers have nurtured throughout their professional careers as hockey players and as real-life siblings growing up. They are the only two member of the defensive roster currently playing their hockey outside of Mercedini, a league which is rapidly receiving further international coverage thanks to the clubs' performances in the Hockey Champion's League. The rest play for teams in the Mercedinian Super League and hold their own when it comes to positions in the national team. No new additions or changes to the roster means the players are more familiar then ever, which will certainly aid team chemistry. Defensive errors is where the game is won or lost, so Mercedini have been working hard on it, so it will all come to head when Mercedini play their opening group games.

ATTACKERS 
AL           Zach Arthur              25             Acoflosa Penguins
AC           Max Morton               21             Rotor Rogachevo
AR           Ayal Ismaat              24             Albertain Mutants
AL           Oliver Ansellini         20             Civano Jackals
AC           Robert Jindrich          27             Zoloroni City Icers
AR           Patrick Pucheclic        21             Acoflosa Penguins
AL           Eliah Kozhikina          26             Ozzaya Agranka Synthesis
AC           Pedro Antic              23             SKK Ogdenagorv
AR           Lambeth Carpic           18             ZSCYA

When it comes to attacking prowess, Mercedini are one of the world leaders in the sport of football, but hockey is largely an untouched market when it comes to internationally recognised players in many reaches of the multiverse. Still, Mercedini have got a series of marquee names on their rosters with a series of leagues represented in all different parts of the multiverse. MSL winner Arthur, NZEL team of the year member Morton and Kebecois league winner and player of the season Ismaat are named as the preferred trio once again to lead the Kingfishers into battle against their five other opponents in the group. There's plenty of support in the second and third lines of the attacking roster with Mercedinian league clubs up and down the country represented well by the number of players in this roster. There's plenty to be excited about if you are a fan of the Mercedinian National Team. We all wait with baited breath for the first match of the tournament to see whether all this practice has finally paid off.

Important host announcement

There has been a mistake regarding signups. I have used the signup list in the OP of this thread as basis for the signups and tacked on the five nations who signed up after the signups were last updated. However, what I had not seen was that Kita-Hinode and Bliuji had signed up and not been included in the OP signup list (although I did even scroll through the thread, but missed their signup even when doing that). As a consequence, and after consulting with more experienced hosts on Discord, that means three things:

1) We now have 38 teams, which is an awkward number. While we do have puppets, both are puppets that have been roleplayed along with their main nations, I would rather not kick them out. If someone messages me until tomorrow morning 9:00 CET (that is, 9.5 hours from the moment this is posted) with a puppet to make things work out again, I will create and throw in one of my own as well, and we'll use the 40 team format.
Alternatively, I will use a format of four groups of six and two groups of seven, and delete the result against the last-placed team in seven-team-groups for the seeding round (as is done in some editions of the UEFA EURO qualifiers).

2) Regardless of the decision we take on team sizes, the groups will have to be re-drawn to accommodate changes in the pots. RP's written until now will be graded normally, even though they don't apply to the new groups anymore. That means that you don't have to retcon your RP unless you want to.

3) Cutoff for the first match day will be pushed back 24 hours and occur tomorrow at the indicated window. The new schedule will be noted in the Everything Thread when the new group draw is released.

I apologise dearly for this mistake, and I hope that the rest of the tournament will go smoothly. Please forgive me for having missed those nations, and I hope that you can still trust me for possible future host bids!

The Holy Kingdom of Adyatin
Roster for 38th World Cup of Hockey

Adyatin are new to the international hockey scene and not expected to make big waves. They play a defensive style of hockey, with a lot of zeal and force. While not an unfair team, you can expect them to stand their ground, rattle the boards and drive to the net. Due to being located very close to Savojarna, their fans will probably turn out in large numbers and might provoke clashes with Savojars as the two countries are considered mortal enemies, especially from the POV of Adyatin. Adyatin's fans and players are all expected to be fervently nationalist, as this is a prerequisite to being allowed to leave Adyatin, especially when the target is Savojarna. The Adyatinian hockey league is small, but professional; but it suffers from being closed off the rest of the world. It is largely dominated by the army club ZSKA Adyatyagrad (and its two SKA subsidiaries) and the Northwestern club Ataka Staraya Vetry, which is said to be favoured by Royal Prime Minister Svetanov. ZSKA and ASV have finished in the top 2 all of the last eight championships, and the last victory by a different team is more than fifteen years ago. They keep competition small by gobbling up all talent in the nation, leading to strong teams with weak competition - and it is an open secret in Adyatinian hockey that the refs are biased towards the two top clubs as well.

OOC Note: Despite using the (Z)SKA nomenclature common in post-communist states, Adyatin is not communist; it is a fervently anti-communist conservative authoritarian/fascist-ish state.

DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF ABANHFLEFT
NATIONAL MEN'S ICE HOCKEY TEAM

This will be Abanhfleft's nth time participating in the World Cup of Hockey. Abanhfleft is going through a bad patch of form sports-wise so no one really expects much from this team this time around. Hockey has also experienced a bit of a decline in popularity so that also means that less people would be watching the national hockey team this time around. The ice hockey craze bubble has burst, and Fleftic ice hockey fans aren't taking it too well so they'll support the team no matter what but even they aren't getting their hopes up. That's how far expectations have fallen for this team. It's kind of sad, really. And then they went to the final of WCoH 35 where they lost to Elejamie so apparently interest in hockey has been revived.

Anthoran National Hockey Team
Nickname: Anthoran Ducks
Head Coach: Lucius Horn
Assistant Coach: Gabe Wilmer

Style Modifier: +3

Annual Introduction:

The last World Cup was hard for the Ducks, not because defending your title is difficult, but because external factors prevent you from even getting the chance; after eight appearances of strong, continually improving play the Ducks managed to gain the long sought after goal by winning the 36th World Cup of Hockey, after taking down much more storied teams, and arguably better teams; needless to say, despite all the protests from nearly every player on the team, and Horn's own veracious arguments the Ministry of Sports 1-year moratorium on international play prevented a chance at a back-to-back title. However, the denial would allow Horn extra time to tweak his team, with more time for practices, exhibition games to trial off experimental tactics and lineups and hone the Ducks overall. Their absence has seen them leave Top 10 ranks, and despite a slow start by loosing what should have been an easy win, the Ducks are eager for a long playoff run; anything else would be sheer embarrassment, and for what many speculate will be team captain Graham Robertson's last season, that would be a pitiful end.
