Ostersund 2016: Germany Team Preview

Despite promotion from Pool B to Pool A after the 2013 World Championships, Germany failed to qualify for the Sochi 2014 Paralympics, mirroring their disappointment in missing a place at Vancouver in 2010. However, while they finished in sixth position in the World Championships A-Pool in 2015, it was still better than many had anticipated. During a recent friendly tournament against Sweden and Norway, they performed well against both teams and will be hoping to carry that momentum to the Euros in Ostersund.

Key players

Captain Bas Disveld is a strong leader on the ice, and established players Jorg Wedde, Torsten Eller and Robert Pabst always make a great impression.
