Things are going well for the German women’s team at the Ice Hockey World Championships in Canada: they defeated the French in Sunday’s game. According to the current status, that’s enough to move into the quarterfinals.
The German national ice hockey team got their second win at the women’s world championship in Canada. The team won 3-0 against France on Sunday (local time) in Brampton. With a goal and an assist, Nicola Eisenschmid played a major part in the important success for the team of national coach Thomas Schädler. At the start, the DEB selection had won 6:2 against Sweden, then there was a 0:3 against Finland. With six points from three games, Germany are second in Group B behind the Finns.
The aim of the German selection is to leave two teams behind in order to safely avoid relegation. At least third place in Group B with five nations would also mean entry into the quarter-finals. The final group opponent is Hungary on Tuesday (5 p.m. / MagentaSport).
