World Cup: Decision about David Reinbacher has been made!

For Austria’s national team there is a lot in preparation for the
IIHF Ice Hockey World Championship 2026
now clarity about top defenders
David Reinbacher
. The 20-year-old will not take part in the World Cup.

Must stay in Canada

The reason for this is the decision of the
Montreal Canadiens
Reinbacher together with
Owen Beck
,

Adam Engstrom
and

Florian Xhekaj
as the so-called “Black Aces” for the NHL playoffs. The club announced this on Instagram.

Surprisingly eliminated

The players were last on the farm team
Laval Rocket
under contract that had previously been eliminated in the playoffs. However, due to his nomination as a reservist, Reinbacher remains in the Canadiens’ extended squad and is therefore not available to Austria.

The situation surrounding Rohrer is unclear

However, the surrounding situation is still open
Vincent Rohrer
. The ÖEHV striker also recently played in Laval, but a final decision about his possible participation in the World Cup is still pending. “He would like to come. The chances are 50:50,” says team boss Roger Bader to the “Kronen Zeitung.”
