Striker is expected in Landshut during the week / Also player Kölner Haie join the team

NHL star Tobias Rieder will strengthen the German national ice hockey team in phase 2 of preparation for the 2016 IIHF Ice Hockey World Championship in St. Petersburg (May 6th - 22nd, 2016). Accordingly, the Arizona Coyotes striker will join the team over the next week and should train with the team for the first time by Friday at the latest. “I’m really looking forward to my time with the national team. It’s even nicer that we train and play in my home town of Landshut.”

Rieder's appearance is planned for Sunday, April 17th, in Landshut (16.45:1 p.m., live on SPORT16) against Sweden. The national team will face the same opponent in Rosenheim on Saturday, April 15.30th (1:XNUMX p.m., live on SPORTXNUMX).

In addition to Rieder, national coach Marco Sturm can also rely on the players Kölner Haie build. Defenders Torsten Ankert and Moritz Müller were called up to the squad, as were strikers Philip Gogulla and Patrick Hager. However, the quartet is not expected at training camp until next weekend. Of the Eisbären Berlin Defender Constantin Braun and attacker Marcel Noebels strengthen the German selection. Kai Hospelt (Adler Mannheim), however, had to cancel his participation in the World Cup.

“We want to continue working on our system in phase 2 of preparation and take the next step. I am pleased that we now have further options in terms of personnel. It is now important to integrate the new players into training as quickly as possible,” said Marco Sturm, who can otherwise almost count on the squad from the previous week.
