Mr. Goldmann, Mannheim, Munich, Berlin – The usual suspects are considered favorites on the title. But there is also a set outsider to which you trust in the race to intervene the championship?

Vom squad are the three heavyweights of the league. It has been seen that other teams like last season Ingolstadt and Wolfsburg can pure as everything fits. That would be athletic to wish. But of the three mentioned heavyweights are two in the final this time. You just have more games this season, because the depth in the squad of my view is more satisfied.

Over the past two years, Silk, Support and Last Reichel and Peterka, young German players were selected early on the NHL in the draft and changed to their NHL clubs. Are there young German players, to whom you also contribute this in the coming season 2021/22?

The German Ice Hockey has released from the nursing stage, but now assume that every year talents of the category of silk, Support, Reichel and Peterka are in the NHL, which is measured. These are simply outstanding junior players. But it is further quality. I’m curious to see who can play in the foreground this year.

The referees are now not only gates, but also goals and in some penalties use video proof to review. Do you see a positive development in it or maybe this could lead to too many interruptions?

That’s the big question, we’ll wait for the first game days. I see and hope it will be just. But I also see the danger that the games are much collapsed. I’m not mandatory a friend of video proof in football and I hope it does not take overhand in the ice hockey.

What do you think of the introduction of the so-called trapezoid as in the NHL for the goalkeepers who are allowed to play the puck in a small area behind the own goal?

This will make the game faster, bring more benefits to attackers and more chances. But I believe that this policy change will not bring so many changes.

2018 a del selection in Pyeongchang won the silver medal at Olympia. What opportunities are you cleaning the German national team in February 2022 in Beijing if next to the DEL actors also the NHL players will be with Leon Draisaitl with them?

Overall, this is a very exciting ice hockey year, potentially is Olympia with the participation of the NHL players the highlight. It will be exciting, as the German selection with Grubauer, Draisaitl, Stützle, Seider and the other German top stars works against a felt all-star team from Canada and USA. This will be ice hockey of the top class and the German ice hockey has the opportunity to face the shop window.

What awaits the viewer at the fastest conference in the world ? And how do you prepare for such a force?

With Basti Schwele Together, you are the regular expert duo, you have known since felt forever, how can you imagine this cooperation?
