We deliver the information about the game.
Munich – Is Germany going for precious metals again?
Winning the silver medal at the 2018 Olympic Games in PyeongChang came as a complete surprise.
It almost even went gold, but in the overtime of the dramatic finale, the Russian athletes had more staying power.
But of course the DEB team wants to build on the greatest success in the history of the association.
The chances are not bad that there will be something to celebrate again at the Olympics.
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 .
