Germany's national ice hockey team missed the quarterfinals. Captain Moritz Seider demands a tough analysis ahead of the 2027 home world championship.
The team missed the quarterfinals once more after only beating underdogs. Latvia defeated Hungary 8:1 and ended all remaining hopes.
Captain Moritz Seider sharply criticized the performance. He said everyone must now question themselves and the team had not lived up to its own standards.
Sports director Christian Künast announced an analysis after the tournament. Moritz Müller rejected the ranking assessment and called for greater ambition toward semifinal spots.
The 2027 home world championship offers a chance to improve structures. Seider views it as a major privilege for the national team.
