Assisted by Michal Šimo and Patrik Šebek.
     
    00:01
    Game started.
     
    Starting lineups:

    Czech Republic: Salfický (Brabec) – Strýček, Šebek, Vozdecký, Šimo – Kameš, Zámorský, Hemský, Brož – Šenkeřík, Čáp, Buchtele, Kubica – Cik, Bernard, Hrazdíra, Loskot.

    Great Britain: Tanner (Birch) – Jones, Pearman, Walsh, Lowe – Viney, Archer, Silliote, Hutchinson – Hamer, Shelton, Niamatali, Finney – Clarkson.

    Referees: Morrison (USA), Fridrich (SVK)..
     
    The Czechs and Great Britain meet to end the preliminary round in a game that will determine the final seeding for the next round. Czech Republic won the opening game against Slovakia, but then lost a close one to the Americans who beat Great Britain 10-3 in the opener. Then, Great Britain also lost to Team Slovakia so it's not a good-looking tournament so far for the newcomer to the elite division.
     
    Welcome. Game starts at 18:00.
