What an achievement from the boys, first the Euro Hockey Challenge win in Winter and now promotion back to the top division for the 4th season in 5. British Hockey hasn't been in such a good place internationally in decades. Absolutely wonderful to see.

Congrats gb from finland🇫🇮

Congratulations GB from Poland!

Glad to see the sport is growing in UK.

Warriors to a man, what a way for Jono to bow out. The third period was managed absolutely impeccably and Italy never really had a sniff beyond some shots from the outside. Kirk and Neilson looked great out there too

Well done GB! Players and staff!! Shows how far they've come. Since their win in 2018. GB had lost 7 straight to Italy. Well done Mr Phillips! I hope you remain involved somehow with team GB.

Wtg team! What a memory for Jonna, Welsh blood is full of passion. Congratulations on a fantastic career. Well done to the whole team on and off the ice!

Love seeing GB do well! I hope that they can keep it up and it gets a sliver of the support soccer does. Team on the rise!

I love our team. Been a pleasure to watch them. Congratulations! You deserve it! :)

Well done GB!! Welcome back to the top division!! We missed you!!

GB gold, Never had a doubt, Next stop, WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP. LETS GO GB!! 🇬🇧🇬🇧

С возвращением GB

I love Aarons attention to detail; often incorrect, but he has amazing passion for GB hockey! Where's the good whiskey placed...top shelf!

David Neraas I know where UK U18 and U20 play. Plays in Division 2 Group A with Lithuania, Croatia, Spain, Romania, Serbia, the Netherlands, etc. Only I repeat once again, if you do not know that you can improve the game in the course of your career, if there is a good league. Let me bring you some players from the UK. Joshua Waller, 23 years old, and he played for Great Britain in the same Division 2 Group A, both under 18 and under 20 years old and moreover, he scored 9 points only once. Well, in the first season in the British Championship, he scored 9 points, then 8 points, then 7 points, and last season he scored 22 points, and this season he scored 29 points. That is, progress is visible. Joshua Tetlow - defender, also played until the age of 20 in Division 2 Group A, and then began to improve the level and now plays in the 2nd league of Finland and has 9 points there, and the efficiency factor is +11. Cade Neilson also played in Division 2 Group A Under 20s, scoring 6-8 points in the Under 20 tournament. And then he played at the World Cup in the elite and 5 points, now he scored 8 points here. In general, the player is not bad and this is clear to everyone. I gave examples of 2000-2004 of the birth of players who know how to play. These players show themselves in clubs, only in the UK there is not enough depth of the squad, and taking players who were born in the UK is a normal topic, they were born in this country and play in it, this is normal. And only 4 are naturalized. You understand the level of players grows when you play in a good league. Substitute conditionally, Jonathan Phillips, Matthew Myers, Mark Richardson, David Phillips. These players can be easily replaced. Only Matthew Myers has 27 points. Who to replace? Scott Conway - 90 points in the UK Championship, I think he is a top player and better than any of the above. David Clements -20 points, this is a good defender and can easily replace any old defender. Joseph Hazeldine - 12 points, also a good young defender, and he still needs to improve, but he can easily replace old defenders. Jordan Kelsall -11 points, also a good defender in general, and can also improve. And I'm talking about the attackers in general. Ross Venus, Lewis Hook, Ciaran Long. You see, the UK had a good national team, and it will remain without old players.

SCORES SCORES SCOOOOOES

Поздравляю британцев с победой на домашнем турнире!👏

I think GB will struggle to stay up In the long run first reason they have too many import canadiens and very few British born players with British perlini , Halbert, Hammond, lake , mosey , O'Connor are all Canadiens GB are applying the same tactic for short term success as Italy and Khasakstan to some extent. The second reason is that GB has a old team with many veterans that are carrying the team yes they have Liam kirk , 24 and dowd but dowd is 30 so he is a veteran and ofcourse the assistant coach's son. But apart from them it's very thin. Third reason GB will struggle to stay in elite level in the long run is their junior national teams u18 and u20 are miles away from the elite level. Every year will be battle to avoid relegation for GB.

UP THE BOYS

Here one person David Neraas wrote about the problems of Great Britain and in reality they exist and are approximately the same. There are only a few features. 1. Hammond, Jones and Halbert play in the UK, they were born in the UK but started their careers in North America. That is, it is not difficult to find such players. Conventionally, such a player is Garrett Wright, he plays for Usports in Canada, and was born in Belfast. Or Tristen Robins, he was born in London and plays in the AHL in North America. Harrison Blaisdell, this Sheffield-born player also plays in the NCAA in the USA. That is, in this way you can recruit players who were born in the UK and have British roots and flirt. That is, no one will use such things, but the UK can. 2. The UK has a good league EIHL, that is, there you can level up and become stronger, the British are getting stronger. Joseph Hazeldine, good defender, born in 2001. Nathan Ripley, good striker born in 2002. Archie Hazeldine, again a good defender born in 2004. Alex Graham, good striker born in 2003. That is, you can make a national team out of such players, one way or another you can. Jack Hopkins, also born in 2004, is again a good striker. Here the story about the lack of such players in the UK is in question, but if you take such players + those who were born in the UK, well, and a couple of naturalized ones, here you will have a national team of a level above conditionally Poland, Romania, Lithuania, Hungary, South Korea, Estonia, well etc. 3. The UK has players who play overseas and 1-2 of these for each age can easily be found. Well, in fact, the UK will always be near the elite, that's all.

We must be getting good at this gold medal lark, eh lads and lasses? There's your real Coronation, right there.

Yeah smart we’ll done

Those play by play guys have to be from the maritimes/ newfoundland lol

Interesting that you left out that disgraceful boarding major that the officials ignored

Welcome UK to hockey TOP division! After two games of our team (LAT) vs UK it was clear that UK is ready to move up. And now it is done, well done!

David Neraas I agree about naturalization and this is not the coolest thing and conditionally Kazakhstan, Italy, Georgia, China, etc. they overdo it. Only in the case of the UK everything is different. Jones, Halbert and O'Connor, Hammond were born in the UK. Brett Perlini started his career in the UK. Whistle's father played in the UK. In fact, only 4 are naturalized. Ruopp, Curran, Lake and Mosey. Just again, Evan Mosey has been playing since the 2014-2015 season in the UK Championship. Ben Lake he has been playing since the 2017-2018 season in the UK Championship. Sam Ruopp and Johnny Curran they play in the UK Championship recently, but I think they will play there and play mostly. That is, they will also want to connect life with British hockey. Perhaps many have British roots. That is, the UK does not use stupid naturalization. Let's take a look at the contribution of the players on points in the UK team. Liam Kirk, born in the UK, a British hockey alumnus, scored 10 points in the tournament. Cade Neilson, born in the USA, is the father of an assistant head coach in the Great Britain national team, a British hockey alumnus and scored 8 points in the tournament. Mike Hammond, born in the UK, has been playing in the UK Championship since the 2016-2017 season. Scored 5 points in the tournament. Robert Dowd, was born in the UK, a student of British hockey. Scored 5 points in the tournament. Ben Bowns, born in the UK, is an alumnus of British hockey. The best goalkeeper of the tournament. That is, as we see the naturalization of players, this is somewhere the strengthening of the national team, and not a strategy, unlike Italy, Georgia, China, Kazakhstan, etc. Great Britain does naturalization pointwise, as South Korea did for example. They took 7 hockey players conditionally and that's it, now their naturalized goalkeeper remains. The UK doesn't do it to get 16 Canadians and play like they did in the 1994 World Cup. I repeat once again, the UK has its students and I listed them, there are young players and believe me they will adequately replace. I can list again and those who are already showing themselves born in 2000-2004. Nathan Ripley, Joseph Hazeldine, Archie Hazeldine, Alex Graham, Jack Hopkins. There are other Britons who did not make the national team. Scott Conway, Ross Venus, Lewis Hook, Ciaran Long, David Clements, Craig Peacock, Samuel Duggan, Luke Ferrara, Jordan Kelsall. Liam Steele, Mack Stewart, Mason Alderson, Logan Neilson. That is, the UK has a choice of hockey players and this is a fact.
