Deep cleaning my room and found this from 2012! I remember I was on my way out of the hospital and my dad and I happen to walk by the Ryan secrest radio booth that they have set up and in flash was the fly guys. Someone who knew us through the hospital called us over and was like get their autographs! So I had to go back and look up the roster but it’s Scott Hartnell, Kimmo Timonen, Andrej Meszaros, Braydon Coburn and I cant tell if the top left corner is a Simmonds or coots. But anyway this was a cool memory that I kinda forgot about.

In their return to the A division, they finished 10th, but in just their fifth year there, they returned home to Bratislava with a silver medal from the 2000 World Championships in St. Petersburg. A mere two years after that came Slovakia's biggest achievement in hockey, when they fittingly beat the Russian team in the final to take the tournament.
