For several years now, Team Germany has found a way to not only keep itself afloat as one of the top 10 ice hockey nations in the world at the IIHF U18 World Championship, but has actually managed to battle its way into the quarterfinals.

I was watching the game between Slovakia and Germany yesterday. Two players that played well for Germany were John Rogl and Andreas Eder.

I also thought 97's Maximilian Daubner and Jakob Mayenschein played pretty well.
