Finland and Sweden placing at the top is no big surprise ... they
have been the powerhouses of women's European hockey for a while.  I 
was very excited about the 3rd place finish for Switzerland!  I spent a 
year in Switzerland playing hockey, so not only did I develop a soft 
spot for their chocolate and cheese :-)~ , but also for their women's 
national team!!  I was really glad to see them do so well.

Since Latvia finished last in the championship, they will move down
to the B European Championship next year.  The winner from the B 
European Championship moves up to the A European Championship next 
year.  The B Championship is taking place right now.
