Vigon: Confidence key to success at IIHF World Championships |
|

In his third year as Australian national senior coach, Brad Vigon is about to again lead the nation’s best hockey talent onto the world stage in the Netherlands at the IIHF Division II - Group A World Championship.
“We were outplayed in the first game, Vigon said.
“Anthony Kimlin then had a barnburner and then we somehow got an OT win and we we’re like “Hey we’re actually not bad”, and our confidence took a huge boost for the rest of the tournament.
Vigon believes that the key to success at this year’s IIHF Worlds lies in the confidence of the team that put on a very strong performance and saw them win silver last year.
“I think the confidence that we have in the lead up to the tournament is the key. We’re not getting ahead of ourselves but I think we have a good deal of confidence going in,” he said.
“Armstrong’s a huge veteran presence and he’s a top level guy. He’s a top 6 forward and it just gives you a massive option offensively,” Vigon said.
Vigon is also looking for another big tournament from Joey Rezek and Beau Taylor who were standouts in their national debuts last year.
Fresh faces in Div II - Group A
The Netherlands have come down from Division 1B, while China have come up from Division 3. Everyone else in Division II - Group A (Serbia, Belgium and Iceland), Australia is very familiar with, but it’s the host nation that Vigon sees as the toughest challenge.
The Roos have already been hard at work in preparation. They will head to the Czech Republic for training camp for 8 days before arriving in Tillburg. However, it’s business as usual for the IIHF world stage.
