The German national ice hockey team will meet the Czech Republic in the quarterfinals of the World Championship on Thursday (May 24.05.2022th, 16) in Finland. The puck will then be dropped for the first time at 20:1 p.m. at the Arena in Helsinki. SPORTXNUMX and MagentaSport will broadcast the game live.
National coach Toni Söderholm: “The Czech Republic is a strong, well-coached team. At this World Cup they are playing with new tactics than in the past, working well together as a team and, as usual, characterized by technically good players. They are a dangerous opponent, but there are only dangerous opponents left in this round anyway.”
Marcel Noebels, “A” captain: “We still have a score to settle with the Czechs from the quarter-finals at the World Cup in Slovakia. This time we want to get to the semi-finals and we will give everything to achieve that.”
The last time the two teams met at a World Cup was in the quarter-finals of the 2019 World Cup. Three years ago, the Czechs made it to the semi-finals with a 5-1 win.
