First time around was in 2005 in PEI, Canada. <\/p>\n<p>Softball is a very small sport in Denmark, so the playerpool is not huge.  This means that we will be bringing players from 19 years olds down to a couple of 15 year olds.  Several players have WC-experience from 2005, and also from the European Championships in 2006 (2nd), but unfortunately high school graduations have left a couple of our more experienced players at home. <\/p>\n<p>A good deal of the players play regularly in the highest Danish senior league, which is considered one of the best in Europe.  Players to watch will be WC veterans: team captain Jan Weichart and pitcher Valdemar Terkelsen, who also starred on the senior national team in 2007.   <\/p>\n<p>Coaching the team wil beKiwi\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Israel Nukunuku and Sam Woodcock, with Jens Terkelsen as manager. <\/p>\n<p>The Danish team will not be going for gold, but we are convinced that we will cause some upsets during the tournament. <\/p>\n<p>Team Denmark will be arriving on June 18th and will be playing a friendly against the Czech Republic on june 20th. <\/p>\n<p>The whole delegation is looking forward to the trip to Whitehorse \u00e2\u20ac\u201c at least your weather and your light will be almost normal for us, compared to several other nations! <\/p>\n<p>www.softball.dk<br \/>\nJens Terkelsen<br \/>\nTeam Manager <\/p>\n<p>Roster after the jump.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--> <\/p>\n<p><strong><br \/>\nDenmark u19 National Team \u00e2\u20ac\u201c 2008 <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Name \tSurname \tNumer \tPosition \tTeam<br \/>\nDaniel \tNicolaisen \t5 \tOF \tBallerup Vandals<br \/>\nDavid \tGrates \t28 \tP\/OF \tStenl\u00c3\u00b8se Bulls<br \/>\nDennis \tNielsen \t64 \tIF\/P \tStenl\u00c3\u00b8se Bulls<br \/>\nIbrahim \tSajid \t10 \tIF \tGSK, Gladsaxe<br \/>\nJan \tWeichardt \t66 \tIF \tAmager Vikings<br \/>\nJimmy Tanghus \tPoulsen \t8 \tOF \t\u00c3\u02dcstfyns Oysters<br \/>\nKasper \tRasmussen \t88 \tOF \tH\u00c3\u00b8rsholm Hurricanes<br \/>\nMads \tHermansen \t11 \tC \tH\u00c3\u00b8rsholm Hurricanes<br \/>\nMathias \tPachler \t4 \tOF \tH\u00c3\u00b8rsholm Hurricanes<br \/>\nJonas \tPedersen \t9 \tOF \tOdense Giants<br \/>\nPatrick \tNielsen \t50 \tIF \tStenl\u00c3\u00b8se Bulls<br \/>\nStefan \tL\u00c3\u00bcthmann \t75 \tOF\/C \tAmager Vikings<br \/>\nStephan \tJensen \t63 \tIF \tBallerup Vandals<br \/>\nValdemar Brask \tTerkelsen \t73 \tP \tH\u00c3\u00b8rsholm Hurricanes<br \/>\nZlatan \tDelic \t15 \tOF \tKIK, Kokkedal<\/p>\n<p>Israel \tNukunuku \t  \tHead Coach<br \/>\nSam \tWoodcock \t  \tAss.
