Forward Matthew Myers was presented with his 100th Great Britain cap ahead of this afternoon’s game with Sweden in the World Championship.

Great Britain forward Matthew Myers has described this evening’s 4-3 victory over Belarus in the World Championship as a “massive night” for British ice hockey.

Debutant Ciaran Long says Great Britain’s 3-2 overtime defeat by Denmark in the World Championship in Latvia will “leave a sour taste”, but believes the team can build on the result for the rest of the tournament.
After defeats by Russia and Slovakia in Group A of the Olympic Sports Centre in Riga, GB produced another superb performance against Denmark who are ranked 12th in the world.

Two debut caps were awarded in the Great Britain dressing room ahead of this afternoon’s game with Denmark in Group A of the World Championship in Latvia.

Forward Jonathan Phillips was presented with his 100th Great Britain cap ahead of this afternoon’s match with Denmark in the World Championship in Latvia.

Defenceman Ben O’Connor says Great Britain have the “confidence and belief” they can play at the top level of the World Championship.
