"The battle of the right name, there is no room for loss!"
Tonight at 21:10, at the Beijing National Stadium Ice Hockey Arena, the Chinese men's ice hockey team, known as the strongest naturalized army, will usher in its debut in the history of the Winter Olympics, the first match will encounter the Beijing Winter Olympics No. 6 seed, the world's fourth-ranked American team, for the new International Ice Hockey Federation President Luc Tardif, who was looked down upon by the new President of the International Ice Hockey Federation, and even asked to withdraw from the game in good faith to avoid being defeated by the opponent 15:0, although the strength is not as good as the United States team, but it is a battle of proper name. There is no room for error.
It must be admitted that the Chinese men's ice hockey team, which currently ranks 32nd in the world, stepped on the Winter Olympic Games for the first time, completely by virtue of the host's automatic access ticket, in the inherent impression of many people, the Chinese men's ice hockey team is actually the Qiqihar City team with the title of the city of ice hockey, compared to the ice hockey teams participating in the Beijing Winter Olympics, almost all of them are the world's top 12 teams, and the Chinese men's ice hockey team does not have an advantage in terms of strength.
In order to improve the strength of the men's ice hockey team in a short period of time, the 25-man roster for the Winter Olympics has as many as 15 naturalized players, compared with the Most well-known Chinese men's football team with a number of Brazilian naturalized players, the Chinese men's ice hockey team is truly the strongest naturalized legion.
It is worth mentioning that compared with the Brazilian players who directly naturalized in the Chinese Super League, the naturalized players of the ice hockey team are still mainly Chinese, such as the 37-year-old team captain Ye Jinguang, who was born in 1985 in the Small Town of Maple Ridge in vancouver, Canada, and his great-grandfather took a commercial ship to North America as early as 1881 and ventured overseas.
The four naturalized players without Chinese ancestry are mainly concentrated in the team's backline, including defenders Jack Kelios, Ryan Sprout, Dennis Osipov, and goalkeeper Jeremy Smith.
Whether it is a native footballer, a naturalized Chinese Canadian and American player, and a player without Chinese ancestry, none of the 25 players who represented the Chinese men's ice hockey team in the Beijing Winter Olympics have participated in the Winter Olympics, and none of them have participated in the Winter Olympic Games.
In order to prepare for the Beijing Winter Olympics, the Chinese men's ice hockey team also went to Russia in the name of Beijing Kunlun Hongxing Vanke Dragon team to participate in the KHL (Mainland Ice Hockey League) competition, which is why on the winter Olympics registration list, all 25 players are from a club of Beijing Kunlun Hongxing Vanke Dragon Team.
Because ice hockey is not popular in China, even few local players can call out names, to explain its biggest must be said to be the star Yingda's son YingruDi, of course, Yingru Dysprosium's fame, but also all the celebrity effect of Dad Yingda.
For the Chinese men's ice hockey team, no one expects them to win gold and silver, and being able to participate is already an achievement that will go down in history, but before the Beijing Winter Olympics, the new president of the International Ice Hockey Federation, Luc Tardiv, publicly questioned the strength of the Chinese men's ice hockey team and hoped to dissuade the Chinese team in good faith and replace it with Norway, which ranked 11th in the world.
From Tardiv's point of view, a team of this level in China lost 0-15 to the opponent, which is extremely unfavorable to the development of ice hockey in Both China and the world. In the face of the international ice federation's goodwill persuasion, the Chinese men's ice hockey team did not accept it.
The Chinese men's ice hockey team that debuted in the Winter Olympic Games, with the No. 1 seed Canada, the No. 6 seeded United States, and the No. 7 seedEd Germany, the three super teams are in Group A, and in the context of the NHL (North American Ice Hockey Professional League) players are also allowed to participate in the Beijing Winter Olympics, a number of NHL ace stars in the United States and Canada have confirmed their participation, and the Chinese team has made its debut against the United States team, which can avoid a big score loss is already a victory, and at the same time, it is also the glory of defending the Chinese men's ice hockey team, and it cannot be easily punched in the face.
In the last Pyeongchang Winter Olympics, the South Korean men's ice hockey team naturalized a group of Canadian and American players, but it was still difficult to escape the group stage three games lost, with a score of 0 points.
For the debut of tonight's men's ice hockey team, everyone should still be prepared for the possibility of being played by the opponent, after all, the objective gap in strength is obvious, and it is important to have a passion and fighting spirit, but it cannot erase the gap in strength.
