Not yet a super power in the mold of Canada, Russia and the
United States, but never a pushover by any means, the German Ice
Hockey Association (DEB) is preparing in earnest to leave its mark
on the hockey world in 2009-10.
On Monday, 32 players opened a five-day summer camp in Fussen,
Germany that is billed as the initial evaluation for the Olympic
Winter Games as well as the 2010 IIHF World Championships, which
will be hosted by the German cities of Cologne, Mannheim and
Gelsenkirchen from May 7-23.
All the invitees are from member clubs of the Deutsche Eishockey
Liga (DEL) except for defenseman Justin Krueger, who plays in the
NCAA for Cornell and was a 2006 seventh-round draft pick of the
Carolina Hurricanes. Krueger, who scored one goal and five points
in 35 games as a junior for the Big Red in 2008-09, is the son of
Switzerland's national coach, Ralph Krueger.
