The German U18 women's national team lost to Canada in their opening match of the 2024 IIHF U18 Women's World Championship. The team led by women's national coach Jeff MacLeod suffered a 0:11 defeat. Tomorrow, Sunday, January 7, 2024, the German young talent selection will play its second match of the World Championship preliminary round in Zug. The match against Finland starts at 16:00 p.m.
Martina Schrick (Löwen Frankfurt) led that DEBteam on the ice as captain. Assisting at her side was Elisa Pietschmann (Eisbären Juniors Berlin) and Anna Rose (HC Landsberg). Starting goalie and the best German player this evening was Hannah Loist (EHC Grizzlys Wolfsburg).
Women's national coach Jeff MacLeod:“We knew that we would be facing one of the top teams in the world today and the Canadians were able to bring their strength to the ice as expected. We planned to play from third to third and were able to improve a bit towards the end of the game. We will now take that positively into tomorrow’s game against Finland.”
Women's national coach Jeff MacLeod:“We prepared well for the game against Finland and went into the game with great anticipation. After the first period, we made a few adjustments to our game structure and played a good second third with some offensive chances - including in the power play. The final section was disappointing for us, also in terms of our undisciplined penalty times. Especially because we had discussed completing every shift on the ice with the team in mind. Tomorrow is the next day of training, where we will discuss the findings.”
