To follow on from my previous post about available ice time being a potential problem, Wales withdrew from their meaningless last game against Bulgaria as the Welsh male player, Adrian Meikle, was due to play in the Seniors tie-breaker against Scotland immediately beforehand and then the qualifying game immediately afterwards. Three games in a row is a lot to ask of anybody, never mind a senior player.
Scotland concluded their round robin games with an 8-4 win over Italy, leaving them top of their Group with 7 wins out of 7. The scores were tied at 3-3 after 4 ends, but Scotland pulled away in the second half.
The last 16 games have now been decided and are as follows:-
Korea v Ireland; Russia v China; Latvia v Sweden; Scotland v Canada; Switzerland v Spain; Norway v Italy; Czech Republic v Hungary; USA v Finland.
The Quarter-finals will be played later tonight, as well as the Ranking Matches for the losers.
