World Championship. Russia U18 - Belarus U18

On the 17th of April, the under 18 Russian national team will play Belarus at the 2017 World Championship in Slovakia.

Russia have played two matches at the tournament so far, beating Sweden 3:1 and losing to the USA 4:5. Nevertheless, despite that defeat against the Americans, our players showed remarkable character to almost complete a dramatic third period comeback.

Recently promoted from the second division, Belarus have had a tough time of it at this competition. They have dropped all three games so far to the USA (0:7), the Czech Republic (4:7) and Sweden (2:3).

The Russia U18 - Belarus U18 match will begin at 20.30 Moscow time. Match-Igra will broadcast live in Russia:
