Coach Martin Grubb, who also coaches Solway, preferred to review the positive of the week.
“We only had two guys on our team who had won a medal and four who had previously played in a World Cup,” he told Ice Hockey UK.
“In addition to the pandemic and even the uncertainty of going to Romania, we were able to win a medal.
“Although we are disappointed with the color, the players will learn and grow from the experience.”
