Can the German ice hockey team surprise at the 2022 Olympics in Beijing?

Here you can find all information about the Olympic tournament and the DEB team.

Munich - In 2018, the German ice hockey team sparked a real hype in Germany.

At the Olympic Games in Pyeongchang, the DEB men played their way to the silver medal in the final.

It is not a prerequisite that the success at the 2022 Olympics will be repeated.

Four teams were recently unready to play.

, showing that the motivation in the team before the games is again very high.

It remains to be seen whether a medal will be won again.
