In a packed stadium, with the Greek fans cheering non-stop for the National Team, the players faced the home team and the favorite for the gold medal South Africans. Although it was a tough game the players gave their 100%. Luck was and patience was not on the Greek side, since the many penalties helped the South Africans score 5 power-play goals. Unlike previous games, the third period was the good one for the National Team, clearly showing that they can compete against any opponent.
Special thanks to all the Greeks that came to the ice rink to support our National Team.
