Tampere – Harold Kreis is also a bit superstitious. "I'm wearing it for the seventh time," said the 64-year-old on Sunday morning with a view to the final in the evening (19.20 p.m. / TV information on the game can be found here) against record world champions Canada, "with the shirt we have always won."

After three defeats at the start of the tournament, the German team stormed into the final with six victories in a row and have already secured their first World Cup medal in 70 years. The seventh victory should now also bring the first world championship title in the history of German ice hockey. Kreis even does without a fresh outfit: "Today it's not ironed, today it's worn the way I took it off yesterday. Today I'm going into the game with the battle shirt on."

He wants to give his team, which has no personnel problems, the following to say: "Have fun with the game, enjoy the moment." The otherwise cool-looking coach has also shown a different side in recent days, when his eyes became wet and his voice brittle after the victories in the knockout matches against Switzerland and the USA.

"I'd like to adopt all the boys, but that's not possible," said Kreis, "the commitment of this team doesn't leave you cold. You go along with it, see what the guys are doing, see the emotional and physical commitment they bring, that pulls you along."

However, he has not yet let himself be dragged into the "Holy Lake". After the 4-3 win after extra time against the USA, part of the team around captain Moritz Müller refreshed themselves again in the ten-degree cold Pyhäjärvi at the team hotel Rosendahl. "I haven't done that yet, I'm not going to start now," Kreis said with a laugh, but praised the regular 15-minute bath in the cold: "It connects. It's team building and regeneration at the same time."

The national coach also hopes that the historic success of his team will give ice hockey in Germany a boost. "I hope that we will not only win people for the sport in the short term, but also in the long term for ice hockey and the speed and dynamism of this sport," said Kreis: "We have honest athletes who go out there and play full of passion and fighting spirit, and hopefully we will upgrade ice hockey in Germany and internationally."
