I know I'm late to the party, but GREAT BRITAIN!!!! Their compete level vs France was incredible, and this a roster which is made up majority EIHL players.
I know it's usual after performances such as this that people come out and say 'it's a good thing for [insert team/nation here], hopefully this will generate more interest!', but I don't think that's too relevant here. There are many, many factors which need to be addressed to generate increased interest and talent in the GB ranks, and performance of the big team is just one small one.
Next stage is hopefully an increase in talent coming to the EIHL, and maybe some of our players (Bowns especially) getting contracts to play in some of the bigger Euro leagues.
