We expected a good performance from Andrei Belevich, and he really showed himself with the best side, rightfully receiving the title of best striker of the tournament. What is our secret to success?

Once again, Eduard Zankovets and Alexander Belyavsky were unable to retain their elite registration.

The most successful period in the history of the Belarusian youth team was the period from 2000 to 2003, when the team, led by Vladimir Melenchuk, competed in the elite for three seasons in a row. Apart from him, no other specialist managed to maintain his registration in the strongest division at least once.

The head coach of the youth (under 18) national hockey team of Belarus, Mikhail Vasiliev, announced the composition of the team for the World Championship in Group B, Division I, which will take place on April 11-17 in Székesfehérvár, Hungary, a BELTA correspondent reports.

In preparation for the World Cup, the Belarusian youth team played two friendly matches with the Belarusian extra-league team Lida, which took 6th place this season. Both times the boys lost - 3:6 (Shantyka, 5, Zhuravlev, 43, in the majority, Yatskevich, 58 - Remezov, 5, 44, Berezhnoy, 12, Kurvyakov, 26, K. Nikulin, 28, A.

In addition, players from Bobruisk \"Dynamo-Shinnik\" and Minsk \"Youth\" are being recruited to the national team, representing Belarus in the Youth hockey league, as well as other teams of the highest (second in rank after the extra league) league of the country's championship.

Last spring, at the World Championships in Division I in Slovenian Maribor, the youth team of Belarus took 4th place in its group among 6 teams and not only did not return to the elite, but due to the reform of the tournament, it remained outside the strongest echelon for at least two years .

This season, Division I is divided into two leagues (A and B) with six teams each. The best six will fight for the only pass to the elite, and the second sextet, which includes Belarus, will fight for a ticket to the strongest part of Division I on April 11-17 in Szekesfehérvár, Hungary. And only if successful, in another year, Belarus will have a chance to compete for the exit to the elite.
