Emnet: U20 NT Discussion - Ireland ONLY

Great work. Looking forward to how the team gets on next season.

Don't forget to vote this week !

This season, WCH is really tough. We're the weakest team in TS and don't have a lot of 20yo in the roster. Even if Damien Nelligan does great so far, goaltending is our weak spot.
But on the bright side, we managed to get 2 points against Croatia. It makes up for the first game where Finland took the lead in the last 2 minutes of the game and stole us at least one point.
Tonight's game may be the most important game if we want to avoid relegation round. We need a win ! Let's get it !

We lost against Portugal but won against Turkey ! That 2-0 win get us in the forth position and we have a shot to be a part of playoffs (and most of all, avaoid relegation round) !

Damien Nelligan is really outstanding ! He stoped 24 shots and got the second shutout of his international carrer. We definitly need him to keep the momentum alive !

Now we play against Austria, currently first of our group. The objectif is simple, go to the playoffs. And for that we need as much points as Portugal and Turkey tonight. We can hope that they lose their game, which would take the pressure off, or we can take control of the fate of our team and get a win !

Cheers !

Well, the outcome is definitly a dispointment. We were 2 points away for a playoff spot even with some weaknesses. This season, our team should be stronger and, if you still vote for me, I'm making getting back int top I division the only goal for this season. I know we have what we need to achieve this !

Cheers everyone and thank you all for the big work you do to train good players !

Wrong way to start the WCH...
The first period was perfect, 2 - 0, a lot of shots. Everything was going well. But then came the second period, 2 - 4 with one short handed goal. And I made some mistakes in the planned tactic so we couldn't recover from the last goal and lost 4 - 5.
Now we can't afford any mistake and we absolutly need to win the next game against Portugal.

Second place ! Very good result given the loss we started with.
We go back to the Div I ! I hope you'll support my candidacy and give me a second shot in that league.
Thank you all for the good training work, our team keep getting better !
Cheers !

Two win and three losses in this year WCH. That's better than the last WCH in the Div I. But we still miss the playoffs by 1 goal. We are tied with Serbia (which we beat by the way), we have the same goal difference but we scored 13 goals and they scored 14.

So this season too we are in the relegation round and our team is getting pretty tired. But we have our win against brazil that will help us. Let's hope the players still have what it takes and we will stay in this league !

Yes, we did it !!
Our win against Slovenia allows us to stay in div I next season ! Adam Long did an incredible performance, especially in the third period.

Thanks to everyone for the amazing players you've trained. Keep up the good work !
Cheers !

Last season, the achievement was to stay in the Div I, but this season is another story. We have not lost a game in regulation on the first part and we made our way to the final. Even if we lost to Switzerland, we are going in the big league for the first time in team history.
Even if we are just a few Irish managers, we did a great job all of us to make this happen ! Thanks everyone !

See you next season !
Cheers !

Another season, another world championship !
This one is going to be special, we're playing in the top division for the very first time !!
I can't promise you a lot of wins, but I'll do my best as you did all season to train our players !
And good luck to our senior and u18 teams !

Cheers !
