"NO TAPE? NO PROBLEM!" Rezztek?players deliver 32 goals and assists at the IIHF World Championship 2021 in Riga, Latvia
Team Canada is always a favorite to win gold at the IIHF World Championship. But in 2021, after suffering defeats in the opening three matches, it looked anything but a smooth ride for them. They needed other teams' help to qualify to the quarterfinal stage, but did not look back from there, beating reigning champions Finland 3:2 in the first ever three-on-three unlimited overtime in the finals.
Christoph Bertschy of Switzerland recorded 7 points in the tournament, second most on his team and shot down Great Britain with a 2-goal effort in the group stage. Christoph has been using Rezztek? instead of tape for the last 2 seasons playing for HC Lausanne in the Swiss National Liga.
Robert Lantosi of team Slovakia recorded the most assists among players using Rezztek? with 5. Together with Peter Cehlarik and Marek Hrivik, they recorded 23 points skating on Slovakia's top line and easily formed one of the best offensive lines in the tournament. Robert switched from hockey tape to Rezztek? during the last season which he spend with the Boston Bruins affiliate AHL team in Providence.
Most points for players with Rezztek? came from team Czechia with 16 points. The captain Jan Kovar and Detroit Red Wings stars Filip Hronek and Filip Zadina contributed most of them. Jan Kovar is using Rezztek? since 2019 and both Filip's switched during their time in Detroit.
Team Latvia's Roberts and Richards Bukarts play together in Dinamo Riga (Kontinental Hockey League) and they also played on the same line for team Latvia at the world championships. Team Latvia started out well but unfortunately did not make the quarterfinal stage.
Rezztek? is a new material that replaces hockey tape. Lighter and thinner than tape, it allows the players to control the puck better while adding more speed and accuracy to their shot. Rezztek? is fully customizable to fit player's needs and due to full color printing possibilities effectively turns the blade of the hockey stick into the most premium advertising space in hockey. Rezztek? is currently distributed only to professional hockey players and will be launched to all hockey players in the near future.
