Both teams in place. EUROPEAN CHAMPIONSHIP 2012.

Karlstad, Sweden, welcomed the Czech teams with cold weather and a light layer of snow. Transportation from Stockholm was provided by bus. Ellery (the men's coach) joined us and together we got off the bus in front of the Scandic Hotel around 8:00. We had pizza and kebabs for dinner. Tomorrow we have a team meeting from 10am and then training. The first games are on Saturday.
