Finnish players woke up at 7am on Tuesday. After that, while they were introduced to all the facilities of Hockey Stadium, Czech players arrived as well. At 9am all participants met for the first time. 26 Czech players, 20 Finnish players, staff members, 6 Belarusian coaches, and two referees – one from Finland and one from Hungary, that’s the complete team of IIHS for the year 2019.
Because of the official opening and registration, the first practice of the day did not start at 8:30am but a little bit later. One team started with on-ice practice and the other one with off-ice training. After the sessions, both teams swapped. Then, cool down, lunch, and a short rest followed the morning schedule. Photo shooting was the reason for the short rest which participants of IIHS will receive by the end of IIHS.
The afternoon game was only a practice one, so it did not count towards the official statistics. The Blue team won 8:6, but the result was not important. Czech coaches do not know Finnish players that well, so this practice game was ideal to get to know them. The same applies to Finnish coaches. It is possible that some trades between team will occur before the first game.
Every player should be excited for Wednesday because Czech hockey legend Viktor Ujcik will join both teams during their on-ice practices. Viktor is also known in Finland where he successfully played for Karpat Oulo. Another thing that players are excited for is Virtual Reality. The first testing will begin on Wednesday too. All of this will be happening in the presence of HokejkaTV which will be doing a report about IIHS.
