The Division I-A Tournament got underway today in Füssen, Germany.

Pettersen played last night for the University of Denver in North Dakota, so he wasn't able to get to Germany in time to play in Norway's first game.

Norway played Belarus to open the tournament. Norway had a 3-0 lead late in the second period. Belarus scored with one second left in the second period to make it 3-1 heading into the third. Belarus then scored 3 PP goals and an ENG in the final frame. Belarus won 5-3.

They way the D-IA tournament is set up, only the top team gets promoted to the main tournament next year (the bottom team gets demoted to the D-IB). It is a straight round robin, with no playoff. Since this format was adopted 7 years ago, no team has earned promotion with even one regulation loss on their record.
