The Goalie Conundrum: Understanding the Waitlist Process

This approach ensures a balanced distribution of players across teams, maintaining the quality of the showcase experience for all participants.
Goalies are encouraged to register and join the waitlist, as spots are filled based on the number of field players and teams formed. This system guarantees that each team has the appropriate number of goalies, typically no more than two per squad.
Tips for Goalie Registration
- Register early to secure a spot on the waitlist
- Understand that waitlisting doesn’t indicate a full roster
- Be patient – organizers will contact you when a spot becomes available
- Prepare as if you’re attending to be ready when called upon

WEATHER
The safety of our players, coaches, referees, fans and staff comes first. In the event of adverse weather or unplayable field conditions, Adrenaline reserves the right to:
- Cancel games partially or entirely
- Reduce game times, eliminate halftime or shorten time between games
- Finish games before inclement weather arrives
- Reschedule and/or relocate games
- Convert a tournament to a “festival” format without a playoffs or championship
If there is a lightning strike within 6 miles of the facility, play will be suspended immediately and will not resume until 30 minutes after the last lighting strike within 6 miles of the facility. If a game stoppage occurs in the second half of a game, that game will be considered final and the score at that time will be recorded as final. If a game stoppage occurs in the first half, when play resumes it will be the start of the second half.
We will make every attempt to play every minute of every game but our ability to do this is dependent on field availability and lighting. We will post schedule delays, changes and cancellations on Tourney Machine and on the event web page. Additionally we will email all registered club directors, coaches and players via LeagueApps. Weather conditions can change rapidly and all teams MUST be prepared to play as soon as the weather clears and fields are playable or risk forfeiting a game.
Facility management often has the final say on weather and field condition delays and cancellations.

- Player information will be circulated to all attending coaches/directors.

The Russian team lost to the Swedes at the Karjala Cup
November 13, 2021, 21:32
Karjala Cup
HELSINKI, November 14. /TASS/. Russian hockey players with a score of 2:4 lost to the Swedes in the match of the second round of the Karjala Cup, which is the starting stage of the Eurotour. Despite the defeat, the young striker of the Russian national team Matvey Michkov can be called the hero of the meeting – the striker became the youngest goal scorer in the history of the national team, and besides, he scored the puck in spectacular style.

Michkov’s goal did not help the Russian team beat the Swedes in the Karjala Cup match
Before the second match of the tournament, which takes place in Helsinki, several changes took place in the Russian team. Acting head coach Oleg Bratash was forced to leave the team for personal reasons, he was replaced in this position by Sergey Zubov. Adjustments were also made to the composition of the Russian team for the match with the Swedes. So, Yaroslav Askarov appeared at the gate, who, obviously, is being played for the World Youth Championship.
Another change was the appearance of Michkov in the second line, who in the game with the Finns broke the records of Alexander Ovechkin and Vladislav Tretiak, becoming the youngest hockey player to play for the national domestic team.
Against the Finns, Michkov played on the fourth line, which looked active in attack for his level. In the match with the Swedes, he was transferred to the second three to Artem Galimov and Daniil Vovchenko, and the decision turned out to be justified. This link began to manifest itself already in the first period, when Michkov did not use a 100% chance in one of the episodes. The 16-year-old forward failed to successfully play the rebound and push the puck into the empty corner of Gustav Lindval’s goal. For an unrealized moment, a more experienced opponent punished the Russians at the very end of the first period – Anton Bengtsson opened the scoring.
“The puck landed the way it should”
But at the beginning of the second 20-minute period it was Michkov’s time: the SKA forward drove past the Lindval gate, picked up the puck and put it into the “nine” over the goalkeeper’s shoulder. A goal in this performance is called the name of the Finnish striker Mikael Granlund, who thus hit the gates of the Russian team in the semi-finals of the 2011 World Cup. Michkov is not the first Russian to score lacrosse at the highest level. Forward “Carolina” Andrey Svechnikov at the end of October 2019scored the first such goal in the history of the National Hockey League in a match with Calgary, and a couple of months later he repeated this trick in a game with Winnipeg.

I saw Granlund’s goal, but at that moment I didn’t think about doing that,” Michkov said after the match. On the day of the game with the Swedes, he turned 16 years 11 months and 4 days old, Ovechkin scored his debut goal in the national team at the age of 17 years and 11 months.
The goalkeeper of the Swedish national team said that he was not disappointed with such a missed goal. “I saw the puck to my left, it all happened pretty quickly, and I will remember it for a long time. This guy has great skill, he can be a great player in the future. But the goal is unforgettable,” Lindval said.
Almost immediately after this historic puck, the opponent, thanks to the efforts of Karl Klingberg, again took the lead, but the Russians immediately bounced back – Galimov equalized the score. The Swedes still managed to put the squeeze on – the winning goal was scored by Anton Lander, famous for his performances in the Continental Hockey League, who admitted after the match that it was not his style to score lacrosse goals.
“It’s a very nice goal, I congratulated him on the ice for it. Unfortunately, it was scored against us, but the player himself deserves to have a good future. As for whether I tried to score like that, then I didn’t try to do that because it’s not my style of play,” the Swede said.
The final score in the match already in the third period was set by Klingberg, who scored a double. The Russian national team, which lost two out of two matches and did not score a single point in the Karjala Cup, lost its chances of winning the first stage of the Eurotour.

Fulfilled Tretyak’s order
After the match, Zubov noted that the claims against his players mainly concerned the realization of scoring chances, and two goals were scored against Askarov after a more experienced opponent won the single combat on the patch, skillfully substituting the stick. “We paid attention to this until one of the goals, but our defender did not have enough strength. The fourth goal turned out to be more offensive when we played incorrectly on the shift,” Zubov said.

Tretiak called the goal of the hockey player Michkov against the Swedes very beautiful
President of the Russian Hockey Federation (FHR) Vladislav Tretiak, speaking about the puck abandoned by Michkov, called the goal performed by the striker of the Russian national team “classic”. “He lifted it in cold blood, placed it, skillfully used his moment. It’s very nice that [he scored] such a goal and that the young player joins the national team in such a way,” Tretyak told TASS.
After the match, the head of the FHR awarded Michkov the prize of the best player in the Russian team.
“The guys played at their level considering the order I gave them. Just one penalty compared to 37 penalty minutes [against the Finns] the day before yesterday. We outplayed [the opponent] on the move, the Swedes used all the chances they had were, their skill affected. But the desire is huge, they played at their level,” Tretiak said.
In another match on Saturday, the Finnish team beat the Czech Republic with a score of 4:2. In the standings of the Karjala Cup, the first two places are occupied by the teams of Sweden and Finland, which will determine the winner of the tournament in a face-to-face meeting on Sunday. The teams of the Czech Republic and Russia, which do not have points in their assets before the final round, will compete for the third position.
