speed track

But it never really washed - Wales wouldn't have had a millimetre of high speed track.

“It’s kind of like Cortina last year; that was a new venue on that speed track and interesting to see it shook down with the veterans not having any experience,” Seger said.

“But at the same time, you have to play fast. You can’t be standing still against that team because they’re going to pick you apart. You have to keep your speed in the neutral zone, match their speed, track the puck well and make them dump the puck in our zone. And hopefully we can get a good retrieval and we can get it right back out.”

Welsh Government, two local authorities and now the UK government are investing in testing and research facilities including a high speed track.

“If you’re on the speed track, it can be a matter of four to six weeks,” he said.
