Slovenian hockey players say goodbye to the elite group of world hockey in the match against Kazakhstan. This time, Žan Us got the chance in goal. It is broadcast on TV SLO 2 and on MMC.
The wish that the showdown with Kazakhstan would decide the passenger to a lower rank of the competition did not come true. In six matches in Riga, the Lynx lost just as many times and squandered their chances of survival even before the last match in the championship.
The Slovenians will thus only play for pride, as will the Kazakhs, who no longer have a chance to qualify for the knockout stages. Kazakhstan reached four points in Riga with two penalty shootout wins over Norway and Slovakia.
Slovenia played in the elite division for the tenth time, but only twice, in 2002 and 2005.
