Okanagan Hockey Academy
Thursday 09.04.2015, 18:00 • Prague • Jan Marek Memorial Cup (U18)
     
    That's all from here for day 1, but Eisbaren Berlin and Red Bull Salzburg are in the dying minutes of their game, and with the score 3-2 Salzburg it could be a good finish.

    Don't forget, we'll have every game from the Jan Marek Memorial here for you at Eurolivescores. (20:00:21)
     
    Sparta now have 3 points, tied with ZSC Lions Zurich for first place in the group, while Okanagan Academy and HC Minsk will try to get their first points tomorrow.
     
    Players of the Game:

    Okanagan – goaltender Ilya Kresny
    Sparta – goaltender Jan Skorpik

    So both goalies are their team MVPs for this game.
     
    60:00
    Game over.
     
    59:25
    Adrian Rosenberger is called for slashing, so it appears Sparta will finish this game on the power play.
     
    58:10
    Now into the final 2 minutes and Sparta have let their foot off the pedal, seemingly content to ride this one home.
     
    57:03
    Bodgan Stupak with a big open-ice hit in the neutral zone. Okanagan definitely with a physical edge in this game, but the score's 4-1 where it counts.
     
    56:31
    Now Seliga with a long wrister, right on Hofmann, who holds on again.

    Sparta now to the attack, Prochazka from the boards, turned away by Wehrhal.

    Kuchinski skates in, tries to go upstairs on the backhand and just misses. No goal.
     
    54:01
    Now Okanagan is getting a penalty shot as Svjatoslav Kuchinski was hooked from behind. That's one for each team this game.
     
    53:22
    More pressure from Sparta, Machnac from the slot, Wehrhal gets a piece of it and it was loose in the crease, players whack away but Maximiilan Wehrhal finally covers on the goal line. Sparta sticks were in the air but the referee says no.
     
    53:09
    Now another shot from Sparta, Wehrhal holds on.

    Jaroslav Vandas with a long wrister from the point, hits the post up high.

    Now a scramble in the Sparta zone, Hofmann covers and then gets bumped after the whistle and we have some pushing and shoving, but nothing much comes of it. No penalties.
     
    49:53
    Sparta 2 on 1, Nachazel elects to shoot and Wehrhal knocks it away with his glove. Play continues.
