Me signing Wronka to an 8x8 with a NMC will be a reality one day…

Belarusian defenseman Roman Dyukov gets a 3 year deal with Oswiecim! Pretty rare to see an import get a multi-year deal in Poland.

The 28-year-old played his 2nd season with the club last year recording 20 points. He represented Belarus at 2016 and 2018 World Championships.

Poland will host both of their Women's IIHF events in 2025! The Men's teams will travel to Romania, Estonia, and Lithuania.

It’s a bit weird to me a city with no hockey club or airport is the winner for D1A.

Poland couldn’t win unless the Romania bid wasn’t suitable…

We have a few 2025 World Championships locations

Men’s Division 1 Group A: Sfântu Gheorghe, Romania.April 27-May 3rd

Women’s Division 2 Group A: Bytom, Poland. April 7-13

Women’s U18 Division 1 Group A: Bytom, Poland. Jan 7-13

Still waiting on Men’s U18 & U20, and Women’s OCQ

Few days after the Worlds have ended, and 9 national team members remained unsigned.

We expect Zygmunt to sign and stay abroad soon.

For depth purposes here is an import target. Matt Sozanski has signed for a 2nd season, switching from Torun to Sosnowiec. The Polish Canadian played in the WHL, Usports, and French 2nd League.

I don't know if he is better than any current Polish defenders, but depth can't hurt.
