Powerplay - The Best Ice Hockey Team for the Olympics
In Febuary 2026 the world's best ice hockey players will descend on Milan and Cortina d'Ampezzo for the most eagerly awaited XXV Olympic Winter Games in living memory. For German national coach Harry Kreis the twelve months leading up to the final nominations of his olympic squad are equally exciting and stressful - a period plagued with difficult decisions and sleepless nights. A young team falters at the world championships, struggling under the pressure of the big stage, while older statesmen wait in the wings ready to replace them. The start of the domestic season offers a chance to impress the head coach, but the intense schedule heightens the risk of injury. Ultimately it's up to coach Kreis to make the final cut: who will play and who will be left at home?
