WC: 2023 Germany Roster Talk

[Eye of Ra]

Excuse me, Germany understands perfectly fine and doesn't care.

Germany is not interested in a sport that costs so much vs. the revenue it brings. It's that simple.

Hockey is simply not economic for Germany's economic model/ current economic ideology.

and how is soccer, handball, basketball etc not expansive?

 

[NYRFANMANI]

and how is soccer, handball, basketball etc not expensive?

bruh.

Hockey needs at least 10 people spending like 1000$ for equipment, a cooled rink and people operating it, etc. Pond hockey works for 3 months in Germany.

Soccer? Dirt pitch, pair of shoes, ball.

Basketball? Handball.

If you don't understand that the hockey bill is way more expensive, relatively to other sports like soccer, handball and basketball. I can't help you any further.

But it is easy and inexpensive for families to pick up as a sport to play. + you can play it basically in every little village to at least some capacity + there is a big chance that their friends play it as well.

Not sure, what the overhead costs of pro sports has to do with that?

then lets make ice hockey cheap to play. why does it have to be so expansive to buy sticks, helmets, skates etc. we need to talk about this more and bring it up with the bosses. otherwise hockey is never growing

 

[ts11]

you asked how soccer, handball etc were not expensive. You got your answers, apparently didn't want to hear them and deflected to the costs of pro teams and are now heading into hypothetical scenarios with a slim chance of happening. Count me out of this discussion.

Edit: sorry, that sounds way to aggressive. Just not sure what you want to discus here, so sorry about the tone.

 

[Edenjung]

Ok. Till next year we just clone Draisaitl and Stützle and win this

 

[ORRFForever]

Congrats Germany. Wonderful tournament.

 

[SantosHalper]

Well done Germany, another great tournament and one step closer for winning the entire tournament.

 

[Eye of Ra]

with one of drai or stutzle, it would have been gold instead of silver

 

[PanniniClaus]

Great Silver.. Some new faces emerging for German hockey..

 

[thewookie1]

Guess his Top forward in the tournament may have had something to do with Peterka’s absence from the top player trio.

GJ Germany, wish you could taken Gold after the US lost to you guys but at least you guys finally medaled.

 

[KingAlfie11]

with one of drai or stutzle, it would have been gold instead of silver

Personally I wish Stutzle would have played since the Sens missed the playoffs again

 

[krutais23]

Hey guys, can you name all active players who have been retired from NT? I know only Gogulla, can you name the others please?
