Welcome everyone!

Once again, the great hockey time and Team Latvia are ready to announce roster for this year's tournament. We're excited to see the young team players evolve from season to season. Leaders change in the team, so has an ambitious change of position, which will certainly reinforce our defensive line. This is my sixth tournament as the team's head coach and I hope the experience so far will help the team in this tournament. While the team continues to grow, it also still has weaknesses that need to be dealt with. I hope this works out as soon as possible for us. We are now ready to announce the team's roster as well as name the team captain with his assistants.
