After the first World Cup victory against Canada in 25 years, the German ice hockey team is celebrating its strong goalkeeper - and his very special "disco ball" jacket.

Riga - A hat for eternity gets competition: At the 2018 Winter Olympics, the famous Pepita hat worn by Germany's ice hockey idol Xaver Nonsense experienced a renaissance.

After each game, the best player on the team was given a nonsense hat.

The DEB team achieved the greatest success in the history of German ice hockey with the silver medal.

The team around national coach Marco Sturm defeated in the semifinals ice hockey motherland and huge favorites Canada like in a frenzy.

The 3-1 victory of the DEB selection against Canada on Monday yesterday was no less historic - it was the first in 25 years at a World Cup tournament.

Mathias Niederberger was the man of the match.

The polar bear goalkeeper from Berlin parried an incredible 39 shots - and drove Canada's strikers to despair.

Historic win against Canada: DEB selection celebrates man of the game with "handsome jacket"

The pepita hat has long since become obsolete.

Niederberger got a different piece of clothing from his teammates in the dressing room - it's no less bizarre than the checked hat from Xaver Nonsense.

“We have a pretty nice jacket at this World Cup.

You can't reveal too much now, ”revealed NHL defender Korbinian Holzer with a smile.

“The color is very noticeable.

It's a bit wild - I would go towards the disco ball like that, ”he said.

Apparently the jacket is so conspicuous that not everyone would simply present themselves with it in public.

"It depends on who is wearing them," said at least DEB striker Nico Krämmer.

After Niederberger's outstanding performance in the box, it should be clear who made the German cabin sparkle with his jacket after the Canada victory.

"With its Italian charm it looked really good on him," said Holzer.

After a historic victory against Canada: is Draisaitl coming to the Ice Hockey World Championship?

If DEB President Franz Reindl has his way, the “disco ball” jacket will soon be worn by someone else: Leon Draisaitl, one of the best ice hockey players in the world.

Because the NHL professional with his Edmonton Oilers was eliminated early in the current play-offs, he could still join the German World Cup team, which had started furiously.

Draisaitl's Oilers team-mate Dominik Kahun could get on the plane with him.

“A decision has to be made in the next few hours.

The coaches are talking to them now, ”said Reindl.

The DEB selection continues tomorrow, Wednesday.

Kazakhstan is an apparently compulsory task, but one that has it all.
