The U18 and U20 national teams met from July 9th to 13th, 2018 as part of a summer camp in Füssen. U18 honorary coach Thomas Schädler and U20 national coach Christian Künast invited their protégés to the Federal Training Center to conduct tactical training as well as on- and off-ice tests.
The training plan not only contained ice hockey-specific tests and exercises, but also lectures on topics that are of great importance to the young national players off the ice. All players took part in a sports psychology lecture and the U18 national players received tips on the topic of “dual training” in another lecture. Furthermore, skill coach Collin Danielsmeier was hired for the summer camp in order to be able to offer the talents optimal training conditions.
A total of 50 Young Talent national players took part in the summer camp in Füssen. Among them was Dominik Bokk, who was recently selected in the first round of the NHL Draft by the St. Louis Blues.
There isn't much time for the U20 national players to take a breather, as they will be taking part in the Summer Challenge in Zurich next week from July 24th to 29th, 2018. The opponents will then be Switzerland (July 26.07.2018, 19.30 / 27.07.2018:15.30 p.m.), the Czech Republic (July 28.07.2018, 11.30 / XNUMX:XNUMX p.m.) and Slovakia (July XNUMX, XNUMX / XNUMX:XNUMX a.m.).

Christian Künast, U20 national coach / head coach U16-U20: “Unlike in previous years, the U18 and U20 national teams completed their summer camp together. In addition to the classic on- and off-ice tests, special skill training was also on the program this year, for which skill coach Collin Danielsmeier was invited to Füssen. The summer camp was also expanded to include lectures on the topics of sports psychology and dual training.”
Thomas Schädler, U18 fee coach: “It is important for us that we check the players’ athleticism during the course, work on the game systems and introduce them to our players. The next course isn’t until November, so we’ve used the time to prepare the national players for the World Cup now.”
