With half a dozen players, the Red Bulls make up the largest block of the German national ice hockey team during the international break. Included are our two defenders Dominik Bittner and Max Daubner, as well as the forward quartet of Andi Eder, Yasin Ehliz, Patrick Hager and Maxi Kastner.
Hager: „When some of us are involved, it's all the more fun"
"I haven't been able to take part in tournaments like the World Cup in recent years due to injury. Now I'm looking forward to wearing the national team jersey again at the Germany Cup. It's even nicer that the tournament is taking place so close to home. It's even more fun when some of the guys from our squad are there", says our captain Hager.
Dominik Bittner has also not yet played for the DEB team this year due to a serious upper body injury he sustained in January. His anticipation for the Germany Cup is correspondingly high: "It means a lot to me to be invited back. The last time was over a year ago because of my injury. It fills me with pride to wear the eagle on my chest again. It's great that so many of the team are there. But I'm also looking forward to getting to know new guys, tactics and impressions again"
The DEB team will face Denmark, Slovakia and Austria in the Fanatec Arena in Landshut. All of the German team's games will be broadcast live on MagentaSport.
