Always loved seeing Latvia do well in hockey, ever since I took a liking to Arturs Irbe when I was a kid and I was like "where the heck is Latvia??" Love from Canada!
Irbe was among those Bettman screwed out of the 98 Olympics to rig the prelims vs teams w/ majority non NHLers. It almost worked until Czechia's Euros kicked his ass.
As someone who loves smaller nations (in size or hockey program) play hockey it was astonishing to see latvia beat a powerhouse like czechia keep it up bois love from canada
I mean, hockey has been the most popular sport in Latvia for some time now, so I'm not sure how much growth there's been, especially considering how their development programs still have their issues when compared to way back when. Either way, still a great story.
I would say that hockey has had a regress in Latvia, but it's not only hockey, the whole sports and education system is fucked in Latvia for some time now, no wonder all kids are being sent abroad to play and study, because the level is just so low and the good players can't really progress.
Didnt knew that this was also first time for Latvia to win czechia, well this year truly was amazing for Latvia 💪🙌👏 I started following Latvia this year when they dropped Sweden from the semifinals our one of the biggest rivalrys so Gongrats Latvia from Finland 💪🇫🇮 It was amazing to see you win (almost gold) and bronze at my hometown Tampere 💪🙌👏🔥
I love watching Basketball and football but Ice Hockey is something else the emotions you go through when your country plays this game is just unbelievable 🤙🏒🇱🇻 Lets play good game against Sweden we can 🇱🇻🇱🇻🇱🇻beat🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪
I remember the times when there were only two indoor ice hockey arenas in Latvia - today there are twenty ice hockey arenas in Latvia and by investing in regions and children, we manage to remain among the elite of the world ice hockey since 1997.
I've been living more than 10 years in UK as a Latvian and it was one of my dream to have a medal in hockey, I go Back soon and forever to fight like they fight
Вы лучшие! Болеем за вас из России! Uz priekšu Latvija! Вперёд, Латвия! Нужна победа над Шведами! Верим💪 Вы показываете свой универсальный наикрутейший, именно латышский хоккей! Это шедеврально! 🇷🇺🤝🇱🇻
Paldies draugs !!! - Paldies jums par atbalstu - no sirds 🧡 !!!! - спасибо друзья за добрые слова , спасибо вам за поддержку !!!! Iziesim un cīnīsimies !!!
Спасибо БРАТ,мы на БРОНЗЕ!!!Я горд за своих парней,они совершили невероятное!!Вам скорее разрулить весь этот не нужный кипишь,и вернуться в дружный спорт!!!
I can say that im a proud Latvian because we well deserved. And more proud i am that Silovs and Balinskis are from my city of Ventspils ❤❤ Thank you for supporting my country
Šilovs plays for my team Vancouver Canucks and also teammate from Latvija Teodors Bļugers. Latvia should be proud of these two especially Šilovs he is a rookie but has so much confidence and maturity. From Canada 🇨🇦🤝🇱🇻
IIHF World 2023 thank you for the video, NOW... Please make an even better one about Latvia beating Switzerland to get in 1/4 finals and Sweden get to semi finals 🙂🙂

@@dianalastovska8386 Absolute facts! Thing is, I'm asking why do these people have to reminisce about the soviet times all the god damn time? It's not like it just fell apart or something, it's already been 3 decades at this point. The video is not historical, the championship is not historical, everything that's going on here is not history related - it's just hockey! And yet people still think about bringing up the topic of how supposedly "better it was back then" and all that bollocks. Now *that* is what I'm pissed about.
This video gives a completely different vibe now that they have gone through many difficult opponents and won the bronze, who would have known that this game vs the Czech Republic is only the beginning of an amazing story. Good job on filming this and giving us such amazing "extra material" to watch once in a while. Thank you! 👍🏒
From Chicago Go Latvia. Proud of you. I will keep supporting you from the USA.
I’m living in Latvia by 4 months now, I don’t know anything about the sport but this team is making me proud 😂

Congrats from Switzerland😍🇨🇭
since i was a kid i always thought the latvian jerseys looked so good.
Thanks Finnbro. Vice versa. When Latvia lose I Aways support Suomi 🇫🇮🇱🇻🏒
So awesome to see how much hockey has grown in Latvia. Hopefully Latvia becomes a powerhouse soon and start sending more players to the NHL

In Latvia, it has been 100% all the time. The difference is we don't have billionaire investors and we are only 1.8 million
