It came to an end two Ice Hockey World Championship performed in Mexico and Spain and as I predicted here on the blog, the Netherlands and Australia are anointed champions of their divisions as China and Bulgaria have been lowered. With that next year Bulgaria back to the Third Division where it has been in 2014, China returns to the div. II B, while Australia back to the div. II A and the Netherlands returns to the I B.

The big surprise in this end of World II A was on account of Serbia, in these last two rounds won the already lowered China, but the most surprising win was against Iceland. Trailing by 3: 0 in the 1st period the Serbs turned to 3 x 4 in the 2nd period, and the game is over 3 x 6.

The next stop is the Ice Hockey World Championship I B division which will be held from 17th to 23 April in Zagreb, Croatia, the participating teams are: Croatia, UK, Estonia, Lithuania, Ukraine (recessed the div IA last year.), and Romania (champion of the div. II A last year). Ukraine to have come from a division above is in my opinion the favorite for the title, while the Romanians will have to play a lot to survive in this division. Keep eyes also become the strong team of Britain that last year almost got the title, lost the last game for Lithuania 3 x 2.
During the week, I'll post what's going on in the arena Dom Sportova in Zagreb, even.
