  • Is it the first match in NT for Meijners since 2007? :)

    Yes it was:cheesy:

  • WOW. I think it's a kind of record. ;) I don't recall such comeback among NT players.

    Polish OH Katarzyna Mroczkowska returned to NT after 12 years. She played WCH qualification in 2014, her last game before was in 2002.

  • didn’t keiba phipps return to the US NT after 16 years? she played in the 88 OG and then 2004.

    I don't know about record, but Phipps played at the 2002 WCH.
