Luis Schinko with two goals / Fischöder: “Compact team performance”
The U18 national team clearly wins the first game of the 2018 IIHF U18 Ice Hockey World Championship Div.I in Riga (Latvia) with 7:2 (2:0; 4:2; 1:0) against Denmark. She scores in the second World Cup game DEB-Selection tomorrow at 12.15 p.m. on Kazakhstan.
In an initially cautious first third, the German U18 players were able to make their superiority countable for the first time in the 11th minute. Louis Brune gave his colors a 1-0 lead. Shortly before the first break, Yannik Valenti increased the lead to 2-0. After the break, Luis Schinko was able to extend the lead before Florian Mnich found himself in the goal DEB-Selection had to admit defeat for the first time this Easter Monday (33rd). But the team led by U18 national coach Frank Fischöder continued to play undeterred and promptly scored again. Tim Fleischer (34th), Daniel Wirt (35th) and Erik Betzold (39th) continued to work on the result and brought the U18 team into a comfortable lead. Denmark took advantage of a power play in the 40th minute of the game to reduce the lead to 6:2, but after the second break the German young talent players left no stone unturned and Luis Schinko sealed the final score of 7:2 with his second World Cup goal.
Frank Fischöder, U18 national coach: “That was a good start to the tournament with a clear win. It was a compact team performance. But the focus is now on the next game tomorrow against Kazakhstan.”
