2017.12.04. 18:51 |
The Hungarian junior national team opened their training camp Sunday night but hit the ice for the first time today, which consisted of two long on ice sessions.

Head coach Jarmo Tolvanen and his coaching staff put the team through a 90 minute practice session where specific situations and skills were being worked on. After which goalie coach Csaba Várady worked with the four netminders.

In the afternoon the team had a meeting where the tactics and systems were reviewed along with the expectations of the players. The afternoon ice session was 80 minute intersquad scrimmage. In which all four goalies played, Balázs Tóth and Martin Szeles started with Máté Garbacz and Kristóf Nagy coming in halfway through the session.

Balázs Tóth, goalie: The pace is great and you can see that everyone wants to make the team. During the first practice we worked on 2 on 1 and 2 on 2, things that covered small areas. In the afternoon we had a scrimmage, but it was not in the usual set up but we practiced breakouts. Tomorrow we will have a similar day as today, but the program is set up well so we have time to recover and be back at it again tomorrow.

Nátán Vértes, forward: The environment in the team is great, we are having fun and it is similar to last season. We hope to do what we did last season again. RIght now we are covering some of the new elements that will be put in. We covered tactics in the morning and we were scouted during a scrimmage during the afternoon.
