Cade Neilson and Josh Waller will make their Great Britain debuts this afternoon as they face Czechia in their opening game at the IIHF World Championship in Tampere, Finland.

It’s the country’s longest unbroken spell at this level since before World War II and, despite the challenges posed by the pandemic, the Brits have done it on merit. In 2019, they beat France in a relegation decider in Kosice to finish seventh in their group then, in 2021, victory over Belarus in Riga brought another seventh place.

Great Britain begin their World Championship campaign in Tampere this afternoon against the Czech Republic, who are ranked seventh in the world (16:20 TAMPERE / 14:20 UK time face-off).

Forward Robert Dowd says the mood in the Great Britain camp is great ahead of this weekend’s opening game of the World Championship in Finland.

Great Britain have made two changes to their roster for next month’s World Championship in Finland because of injury.
Defenceman Dallas Ehrhardt and forward Luke Ferrara have both been called into the squad.
