The IIHF Division 1 World Championships have started in Vilnius, Lithuania, with Australia up against some very stiff and professional teams:
- Slovenia
- Kazakhstan
- Japan
- Lithuania
- Croatia
The initial games against Slovenia and Japan haven't gone our way, with Slovenia winning 7-0 and Japan winning 6-1. Our best hope to remain in Division 1 is to beat Croatia or even Lithuania.
For a good Aussie commentary, you can't go past the HockeyPulse Forum topic dedicated to covering the tournament:

It's not easy finding video streams of the games. Some were found by following links on the Slovanian TV website, and there are a few Youtube clips of highlights which are starting to show up too.
Lets hope that our guys prevail at least against Croatia, and Australia can stay in Div 1.
