In the second preliminary round game at the Olympic Games in Beijing, the German ice hockey team is clearly the favourite.

Because opponent is host China.

Here you will find all important information about the tournament.

Munich - Does Germany do it again?

Four years ago at the Olympic Games in Pyeonchang, the DEB selection won sensationally and celebrated the greatest success in the history of the association.

Only in a dramatic final against the team from Russia did the squad of coach Marco Sturm have to bow.

But this triumph at the Olympics does not have to remain a flash in the pan.

Because of the corona pandemic, the world's best ice hockey league NHL, like four years ago - at that time for economic and sporting reasons - is not providing any players for the tournament, which is why top teams such as the USA, Canada, Sweden or Finland have to do without their big stars .

Germany vs. China: DEB team with ten silver medalists

Germany will also have to do without Leon Draisaitl or Moritz Seider.

But national coach Toni Söderholm has put together a powerful team.

Among them are ten silver medalists with goalie Danny aus den Birken as well as Jonas Müller, Moritz Müller, Dominik Kahun, Matthias Plachta, Yasin Ehliz, Marcel Noebels, Leonhard Pföderl, David Wolf and Patrick Hager.

The DEB team bought the ticket for the Olympic Games in Beijing directly.

The selection currently occupies fifth place in the world rankings and drew attention with fourth place at the World Cup last year.

It was the best performance since 1953.

Germany against China: Second preliminary round task in Beijing

At the Olympic tournament with twelve teams, Germany will face Canada, the USA and host China in a group of four.

The game will be played in the National Hallenstadion and Wukesong Stadium, both arenas have 18,000 seats.

The DEB team will go into the game against China on Saturday, February 12, 2022 at 9.40 a.m. as the clear favourites.

The Asians are only 20th in the world rankings and are at the Winter Olympics for the first time because they are seeded because of their role as hosts.

The Chinese team is quite international.

13 of the 25 players were born in Canada, three in the USA.

All nominees earn their money as players of the Kunlun Red Star, the only Chinese team in the Russian KHL.

The hosts should definitely be well-rehearsed.

Ice hockey at the Olympics: Only four teams land directly in the quarterfinals

After the preliminary round, a fourth game is also certain.

While the three group winners and the best runner-up advance directly to the quarter-finals, the remaining eight teams will play out the other quarter-finalists in four games on February 15.

Where the second-best runner-up meets the worst of all teams, the worst group runner-up meets the second-worst of all teams, etc.

Hungry for success: The German ice hockey team is traveling to Beijing as a silver medalist from Pyeongchang and fourth at the World Championships.
