Team Germany Wants Podium Finish at Olympics – The 2026 Winter Olympic Games will be one for the history books if Team Germany has its way.

Team Germany wants to shock the world.

The Germans have medaled only twice in men’s ice hockey. They claimed silver at Pyeongchang in 2018 and bronze in 1932. That’s not a lot of success at the international level, yet Team Germany is still optimistic about its chances to reach the podium at Milan in 2026.
