“We have followed the development of Estonian ice hockey for many years and have witnessed the significant rise of youth hockey in recent seasons. We agreed with the Ice Hockey Association that we want to contribute to the progress of the U20 national team,” says Glimstedt partner and attorney-at-law Randu Riiberg, adding: “For us, it is important to support a sport with clearly visible potential. Glimstedt values dedication, teamwork and rapid response — the same qualities that define ice hockey. This makes the partnership a natural fit for us.”
Glimstedt believes their example will encourage other companies to invest in the growth of youth ice hockey. “The stronger the youth development system, the stronger the future men’s national team. With our contribution, we hope to support the team’s so-called ‘hockey stick effect’ and help them on their path to success,” Riiberg added.
The Estonian U20 national team is competing in Milan, Italy, from 8–14 December in the IIHF Division I Group B World Championship, facing opponents from Hungary, Japan, Italy, Poland and Lithuania.
