Great Britain shrugged off a 26-hour bus ride to
produce a fantastic 4-1 victory in their World Championship opener
against Croatia. Preparations for the Division One Group B tournament
in Slovenia were in disarray due to the Icelandic volcanic ash cloud
which saw their flight cancelled, resulting in a long journey by
road. However, having arrived at the rink just two hours before
face-off, goals from Jonathan Phillips, Ben O'Connor, Greg Chambers
and Robert Dowd ensured victory, with Dominik Kanaet having levelled. |
