I looked on the Swedish Hockey site, and found lots of info on the four nations event. (You have too look under "Dam" and then "Damkronorna" ), but could not find anything in there about Video Feeds.

"DamKronorna" is the Swedish Female National Squad.

Kids under 18 get in for free.

For 60 Kronor you could have seen Canada beat the Swedes last night in Stockholm in a warm-up exhibition match.

http://www.hockeycanada.ca/index.php/ci_id/177752/la_id/1.htm

Canadian goals by Wickenheiser (2), Ouellette and Hefford. Shots were 51-17 in favor of the Canucks. Goalie Duties split between Labonte and Szabados. Eliasson scored for Sverige. Martin and Lizana split the duties in net for the Damkronorna.
 
Re: US National Teams: U30s & Mrs. Potter, U22s, U18s Part II

How is it that USA Hockey sends boys teams to several international u17, u18 and world jr tournaments, now sending a 96 team to the youth Olympics, yet they don't support a u22 team for the women? The disparity is SHOCKING or moreso that no one seems to mind is disgusting!

US downs Czech 13-1. Miss Skarupa with her third hat trick of the tourney. Peters in net for the win.

Maybe it's time for U.S. and Canada to send younger teams.

The Czech teams very young, and they have some very good girls coming up in their 96-97s and younger. This team has only 4-94s, they have 9-96s so their team is much younger. The Swedes and Swiss should watch in their rear view mirror.
 
Re: US National Teams: U30s & Mrs. Potter, U22s, U18s Part II

That's a pretty good spin on Czech's "we had to fill out our team with mostly 8th and 9th graders because we don't have any talent in the 94 or 95 birth years" roster problem.

The Hungarian U18s won the Division 1 World Championship, and have been promoted to the top division for next year.

Hungary rockets to top level

Newcomer team wins Women’s U18 Division I with 10-0 record



TROMSØ, Norway – The Hungarian women’s U18 national team completed the biggest upset of this international season on Wednesday. The Hungarians won the Division I tournament and will play with the top eight nations next year.

This is also by leaps and bounds the biggest success in Hungarian women’s hockey. The senior national team has been playing in the Women’s World Championship since 2003, but hadn’t previously been able to get higher than the third tier of competition in six attempts.

Hungary has never had a team in the women’s U18 category before, and had to go through a qualification tournament in Asiago, Italy, one month earlier in order to advance to the 2012 IIHF Ice Hockey U18 Women’s World Championship Division I in Norway.

Ranked 25th in the 2011 IIHF Women’s World Ranking, the Hungarian girls weren’t expected to win the qualification event by many people. But they didn’t just succeed in Italy, but brought their A-game to Norway to win the Division I event too.

With a 10-0 record, the Hungarian women’s U18 national team is probably the most successful new entrant in any IIHF category since the breakup of the Soviet Union.

It wasn’t an easy tournament victory, though. The newcomers had a tough time against Austria and Japan, which ended up winning silver and bronze respectively.

Hungary outshot Austria 35-25 in the opening game to win the encounter 4-3. The Magyars blew a 2-0 lead, but eventually made it 4-2 and survived the late offensive attempts from their neighbours. Lili Pintner netted two goals for Hungary.

Hungary also outshot Japan, 40-29, but struggled to win 3-2 in a shootout. Suzuka Taka and Rui Ukita gave Japan the lead twice, but Alexandra Huszak tied it up with her two goals. Dorottya Medgyes scored the only goal in the game-winning shots competition following a scoreless overtime.

Austria recovered from its opening-day loss and won all the rest of its games, including the decisive match for the silver medal against Japan, 2-1 in a shootout. Japan had to settle for bronze.

Host Norway ended up in fourth place before Great Britain – the second qualifier behind Hungary – and winless Slovakia.

Hungary also topped the offensive stats. Huszak was named Best Forward and was the scoring leader with ten points (7+3) along with compatriot Fanni Gasparics (2+8=10).

Japan’s Shizuka Takahashi was named Best Goalkeeper, and Norway’s Victoria Lovdal was Best Defenceman.

Hungary will replace the loser of the best-of-three relegation series between Switzerland and Russia – Switzerland won the first game 4-2 – in next year’s top division.

Continuing this rapid rate of progress among the top eight nations might prove to be difficult. But with 15 out of 20 players eligible to represent Hungary next year in the 2013 IIHF Ice Hockey U18 Women’s World Championship, the Hungarians have some hopes of possibly upsetting an elite nation or two.

With the USA and Canada dominating the U18's in the Czech Republic here is nice outcome as well:

ZURICH – The 2012 IIHF Ice Hockey U18 Women’s World Championship set a new attendance record for this category.

17,480 fans attended the 22 games in Zlin and Prerov, Czech Republic, for an average of 794.

The previous record was set at the inaugural event in 2008 in Calgary, Canada, with a total attendance of 9,872 spectators and an average of 494.

The highest attendance figures were set in the secondary venue, the Zimni Stadion in Prerov, where 3,250 fans saw the 5th-place game between the host Czech Republic and Finland. This is also a new single-game record, beating the gold medal game of 2008 in Calgary, which was attended by 2,156 fans.
