THE TOURNAMENT WHERE EAST MEET WEST!

An exciting weekend where east meet west awaits all hockey lovers!



Nordic World Cup 2016 (3 day) will be the largest event in the north. To organize a tournament of this magnitude it is an honour, although much need to be arranged before everything is in place and the first puck is dropped. But all is forgiven at the moment you see all the young eagerness of these hockey players to show off their skills and knowledge about the game in their young ages.


Thank´s to all those who work during the weekend and make sure that  Nordic World Cup 2016 will be an rememberable moment for all of us, leaders, players, parents and guests. For those of you who don’t have the ability to follow the tournament in the arena in Stockholm, Sweden you can follow some of the games on the computer by Live Arena.



Nordic World Cup 2016 is an interesting test case in the players development to become a professional hockey player. Since not everyone has the opportunity to measure themselves against international opposition from other countries, this tournament is a good option for international competition. 
More players will get to know the meaning of "play desperate with a sense of urgency” and understand the ability to peak their performance more days in a row. The road to success is neither easy nor fair, rather, hard work, disappointments and many hours of toil are required. Though, well ahead usually not many complain!



My feeling is that all of you who plan to visit Sweden and Stockholm to witness the Nordic World Cup 2016  will be amazed at the knowledge many of the players already possess. Youth hockey has to say, taken great strides in recent years. In particular, more recognised the importance of daring to compete.
