The German ice hockey women took the first step towards the 2026 Olympics. At the qualification tournament in Bremerhaven, the team of national coach Jeff Macleod won 2-0 (0: 0, 2: 0, 0: 0). At the start, Hungary defeated Slovakia 3-1. The Slovak women are next German opponent on Saturday (2.30 p.m./Magenta Sport). Finally, on Sunday (6 p.m./Magenta Sport) against Hungary. Only the group’s most qualifies for the winter games in Milan.
After a goalless first third, in which Luisa Welcke from Boston University was unlucky with a crossbar and Austria also hit the post, Celina Haider from ERC Ingolstadt put the Deb team in the lead (24th minute). Sandra Abtriter once again convinced in the goal. The keeper of the Montreal Victoire is currently the only German in the North American professional league PWHL. Laura Kluge from the Eisbären Berlin, who will also switch to the Toronto Sceptres to the PWHL after the tournament in Bremerhaven, showed her class when she prepared the 2-0 nothing (36.). Nothing that is active in Stockholm, turned over the opposing defense and also left goalkeeper Selma Luggin no chance of defense.
