The hockey selection of the Karlovy Vary region has completed the second day of the tournament at the 2023 Children’s and Youth Olympics. In the morning match, the wards of Tomáš Mariška and Tomáš Andrys dealt with one of the favorites, the team of the Capital City of Prague. In the afternoon match against the team of the Pilsen Region, the hockey players of the Karlovy Vary Region came up empty-handed. The young hockey players will play the last two games of the basic group on Wednesday, and already in the evening we will know the teams that will advance from the basic groups to the finals.
Coach Václav Varaďa also visited the venue of the Olympic tournament, who will not only watch the ongoing tournament, but will also hold a coaching seminar Dialogues. In addition to him and the fans, national team coaches, scouts and hockey agents also watch hockey matches. Young hockey players have the opportunity to demonstrate their skills and open the door to, for example, the national team.
Coach Tomáš Mariška evaluated the first two days of his charges’ fights. “On Monday, we played an even match against the team of the Moravian-Silesian region. Thanks to a good start to the second period, we turned the score from 0:2 to 3:2. By the end of the period, however, the score had turned around, and the opponent was leading by one goal. In the third period, we fought for equalizer, but at the end of the game we conceded twice and lost 6:3. We fought the next two games thanks to a very good team and selfless performance, which was supported by the performance of goalkeeper Martin Psohlavec. This kept us in the game for promotion to the knockout part of the tournament, despite Tuesday’s loss against the selection of the Pilsen region. Unfortunately, we ran into a better opponent in this match. In Wednesday’s matches, it will be decided whether we will play on Thursday as well, and I believe that all the players will do their best for that.”
