The German national ice hockey team starts the Germany Cup on Friday.
Dominik Bittner from Peißenberg is also part of the DEB selection.
Peißenberg - Since last Monday, the German national ice hockey team in Krefeld has been preparing for the Germany Cup, which will be played this weekend.
Dominik Bittner is also part of the DEB selection.
The Peißenberger, who still plays for the Grizzlys Wolfsburg, is part of the 27-strong squad of national coach Toni Söderholm.
“I'm really happy that I was nominated.
It's a great honor, ”said the 29-year-old defender.
“You learn a lot of new things and at a high level,” said Bittner before today's duels against Russia (7.45pm), against Switzerland on Saturday (2.30pm) and against Slovakia on Sunday (2.30pm).
"I want to recommend myself for the Olympics with good performances," said Bittner.

He is currently in third place with Wolfsburg (20 games / 38 points / ratio 1.900)) behind Adler Mannheim (19 games / 44 points (ratio 2.316) and Red Bull Munich (15 games / 31 points / ratio 2.067)
“We had a very good start to the season,” reports the defender, after the “Grizzlys” had even been at the top in the first few weeks. Bad luck with injuries slowed the Wolfsburg off. "Sometimes we only had half the squad available and we had to play with only three or four defenders for weeks," reported the Peißenberger. Bittner has played all 20 games and earned eight scorer points (2 goals / 6 assists). "We played pretty well for the circumstances and also scored regularly," says Bittner, who thinks of Wolfsburg's new coach Mike Stewart. "It's very good and has brought a breath of fresh air," says Bittner. "We're playing a little differently now than last season, very physical and fast," said the Peißenberger.
