Euro Curve takes a look at the latest international hockey headlines.

– Illegal Curve’s favourite Czech hockey source VAKFAN (http://vakfan.blogspot.com) reports on his site that seven players have dropped out of the Karjala Cup tournament due to an apparent feud with head-coach Alois Hadamczik. Jan Bulis (Khimik), Vaclav Nedorost (Liberec), Vlastimil Kroupa (Trinec), Jaroslav Kudrna (Magnitogorsk), Petr Hubacek (Vitkovice), Tomas Zizka (Slavia) and Petr Sykora (Pardubice) have all cited “health concerns as reasons for withdrawing.
