100 Days Before the Olympics: DEB Without Berliners at the Germany Cup - Germany Cup: Pre-Olympic Test for Women's Ice Hockey Team
The Germany Cup, a significant pre-Olympic test, is set to host the German women's ice hockey team. They will face Sweden, Japan, France, and Italy, the host nation, at the Olympics. Meanwhile, the men's team will compete against Denmark, Latvia, and the United States in the preliminary round.
The Germany Cup, taking place 100 days before the Olympics, will not feature players from the Berlin Polar Bears due to workload and injuries. Key players like Jonas Müller and Frederik Tiffels will be rested. However, the event serves as an Olympic audition for established professionals. The men's team will face Latvia, Austria, and Slovakia, with the finale on November 9 in Landshut.
NHL stars like Leon Draisaitl, Moritz Seider, and Tim Stützle will not participate in the Germany Cup but are confirmed for the Olympics. The Germany Cup also serves as a crucial pre-Olympic test for the German women’s ice hockey team. They will compete against France, Slovakia, and Hungary, starting November 5 in Landshut.
The Germany Cup, with its strong lineup including captain Moritz Müller and Marc Michaelis, will provide valuable experience for the German teams before the Olympics. The women's team's performance will be closely watched as they prepare to face tough opponents like Sweden and Japan.
