Asunto: U19 Handball NT

Do or Die for U19 today. Slovakia has already qualified but we're fighting for our lives with Venezuela, Ukraine, and Norway for the final two spots. If we lose today we're out. This is the weakest of our three National Teams. We don't seem to have as many solid teams feeding players into the system. I'll need more support from i.1 managers to ensure we purchase our good young players and not allow them to get sold to crap teams that will kill their development. Canada is ranked #22. I've given our 18 year olds a lot of playing time so if we can qualify, their chem should be good enough to allow us to compete next year, but a lost today would be detrimental as missing the qualifiers would destroy chemistry and seriously set us back.

Wow!!! I think our U19 team might have just qualified. Venezuela (VH) 10 point lost today to Slovakia (VL) means I think we get in on the tie-breaker.

Canada Points: 6
Venezuela Points: 6
Canada +/-: -4
Venezuela +/-: -4
Canada GF: 243
Venezuela GF: 236

Didn't think that was going to happen. Nice

That's good to hear!

U19 Roster Update. 10 guys graduated so we can add the same amount plus we'll be switching a few guys who haven't kept pace with their development

Omar Paré
Kyle Hills

Pivots to Add:
Colten Kumar
Adam Marsh

I'll try to figure out the last roster spot tomorrow - looking for a young G or offensive pivot to develop for future years

Done

Austen Power is going to be a solid offensive pivot:

Fip 94, Sho 81, Pas 71, tec 75, Spe 74, Agr 93. 16, 6/6, 551

I've had him scouted for a while - he looks solid. Our U19 team is mostly 18 & 19 year olds, but I added five 17 year olds (OR 734-831) and one 16 year old (OR 631). Power will be in consideration next year if he can one of our top five 17 year olds (note: we have eleven 16 year olds at 560+ right now so there's some competition)

Well I shall do my best to make sure he gets in haha

Based on your Training facilities and staff I suspect he'll be in our top 5

I think we're in good hands with Austen Power and Auston Power as National Team pivots.

I laughed when I saw that earlier - at least they are spelled differently. Groovy Baby

Sweet name too... just missing the end "s".

Glorious!
