Great Britain ended the 2024 World Championship on a high with a 4-2 victory over Austria at the O2 Arena in Prague. Netminder Lucas Brine was awarded his debut cap as he served as back-up to starting goalie Ben Bowns.

Great Britain will play in Div 1A next year, after a 2-5 defeat at the hands of Norway meant they are relegated from Pool-A. After 18 successive campaigns in the top division, the Norwegians were facing demotion if they lost in regulation on Monday.

Pressure can affect teams in different ways and the first period illustrated that point. Norway produce arguably its best hockey of a troubled campaign when it mattered most ..read more
