The 89th edition of the Ice Hockey World Championship starts in Switzerland in a few weeks. Nicolas Wieser, who recently led the Moser Medical Graz99ers to the championship title, is not taken into account.
From May 16th, Austria will get down to business in the Swiss Life Arena in Zurich. The first opponent will be Great Britain, Hungary will be waiting the next day. The team is currently preparing for the World Cup, there will be another test against the Czech Republic in the evening, followed by three more preparation games for head coach Roger Bader and his team.
Goalie trio already fixed
With Atte Tolvanen, David Kickert and Florian Vorauer, the goalie trio for the World Cup has already been determined. It is also clear that Nicolas Wieser, who was crowned champion of the win2day ICE Hockey League with the Graz99ers two days ago, has no place in the squad.
Further deployments are not ruled out
The Villach native has played twice for the national team so far, the last time in February against Norway, but Bader emphasized: “We have our three goalkeepers here with whom we will go into the World Cup.” But the 28-year-old could definitely play again in the future: “If he continues like this next year, then his chances will increase,” the team boss told “laola1.at“.
