“Taani on järjekordne A-divisjoni sats, kes mängib väga heal tasemel. Tuleb vastast kiita, ise eksisime liiga lihtsates olukordades ja kaotasime fookuse,” nentis peatreener Martin Rausberg.

“Despite their valiant efforts, the Estonian U-18 national team fell to a third consecutive loss at the Nordic Championships, failing to secure a coveted spot among the top two. Though they battled hard, ultimately falling short in the face of superior competition, the Estonian players displayed impressive team spirit and skill, showcasing promise for future tournaments. The team will regroup and refocus for the next opportunity, fueled by this experience, and we can anticipate a resurgence from the Baltic team in years to come.”
