Young ice-hockey players from Finland and the Czech Republic have completed the first day of the International Czech-Finnish sports school. On 9pm on Friday, July 24, 2015, the Finnish team landed at Vaclav Havel Airport at Ruzyně. 12 hours later, the Czech and Finnish players met for the first time and created two mixed Czech-Finnish teams.

Both the players and the service team use the same team jerseys and clothes that are identical for all members. The event thus gets a more representative appearance.The players have two dresses/jerseys available – one for trainings and the other one, with their number, for the matches.
