It's game 4 for GB at the World Championships this afternoon and this time we take on the number 1 seeds in the group - Hungary. They've been awesome so far and this is going to be another tough one for the GB lads.

Sounds like the team is competing so far as well, rather than just holding on for 0-0.

The commentators talked a bit about how matching and passing teams like Hungary and Slovenia has to be the aim. Wouldn't it be great to see the team competing in the top tier - and wouldn't that be great for the stregth and exposure of the sport in the UK?

I do think though that we may have to look at bringing in a small number of imports from the eihl to help team GB make the step. The system in the UK is not set up for a successful GB team with the main focus on clubs making enough money to survive. I think therefore the solution may be to bring in 3-4 imports to progress the team. (then faze them out in the medium-long term)

Once we've made the jump - IMO it'll be a snowball effect in improving hockey's (not just team GB's prospects) in the UK.

Any thoughts on this?

Thanks for the link Merthyr Devil.

Very strong goaltending for Hungary, but a bit higher class of shooting might just have been the difference in these tight games. Perhaps outlines the case for a couple of imports in the line-up?
