The German national ice hockey team has announced its bid for the 2026 Olympic Games.

I must say that there are several strong hockey players in the squad, and the main star is Leon Draisaitl, one of the best forwards of the modern NHL.

But he’s not the only one attracting fans’ attention. In addition to Seattle’s good goalkeeper Philipp Grubauer, it is also worth mentioning Detroit’s young leader Moritz Seider.

defenders: Seider (Detroit), Hawanke (Adler), Geifel (Berlin), Kalble (Adler), Müller (Kolner), Wagner (Red Bull Munich), Wissmann (Eisbären).

Forward: Draisaitl (Edmonton), Stützl (Ottawa), El (Adler), Kahun (Lausanne), Michaelis (Adler), Peterka (Utah), Rykel (Vancouver), Rieder (Red Bull Munich), Shamanski (Bakersfield), Schultz (Red Bull Munich), Stachowiak (Syracuse), Sturm (Minnesota), Tiffels (Eisbären), Tuomi (Kölner).

Germany will play in a group with Latvia, Denmark and the USA.
