    Somolányi's awarded as the MVP of the tournament.
     
    The Slovaks made it and I am sure, that a big part of that win was secured thanks to excellent Viliam Somolányi in the Slovakian goal as he stopped 33 shots of the Czechs! The Slovaks won the Master's World Cup for 2012, the Czechs take the silver medals.
