Team Hungary head coach Rich Chernomaz and his staff have made his first round of cuts for the upcoming world championships as they trimmed his 78 man roster down to 40.
The original roster met on April 5th and split into four teams where an in house tournament was played.
After all 14 games were played Rich Chernomaz and his coaching staff had their first round of cuts as the roster was cut down to 40 players. There are some “spot holding” players who are in until players come back from injury or abroad.
Nikandrosz Galanisz and Attila Pavuk were not available from the start. Csanád Erdély and János Vas are still playing their club season, Frank Banham and Miklós Rajna should be back at the start of this week with Dániel Kóger still being a couple of weeks off.
The team will meet back at the Tüskecsarnok on Monday afternoon.
