USA vs Germany Juniors Hockey Preview
The U.S. and Germany face off at the International Ice Hockey Federation World Junior Championships on Tuesday after a long wait. Previously postponed in December 2021 over COVID-19, the world’s best junior hockey teams take the ice in Canada.
Team USA comes into the tournament with talented college players from Denver, Michigan, and Minnesota. Denver players Carter Mazur and Sean Behrens combined for 67 points last season. Minnesota’s Brock Faber and Matthew Knies combing for 72 points last winter. Michigan’s Jacob Truscott, Luke Hughes, and Macki Samoskevich combined for 85 last season.
“I am more of a leader by example,” Faber, a team captain, said via USAHockey.com’s Steve Drumwright. “Maybe not as vocal, obviously I try to be, but more just doing the right things. Trying to be a good person and player on and off the ice. That’s kind of just how I’ve been raised my whole life.”
“It’s kind of about how each role matters and finding ways to lead in your own way,” Faber added. “That gets the whole team in there. That’s kind of been something that’s opened my eyes a little bit. But other than that, it’s just you know, trying to be myself and do what I can to be the best person and player I can be.”
Faber notably played for Team USA in the Olympics in Beijing. Team USA cam up short in the quarterfinals of the Winter Games against Slovakia.
Germany has talent in Ryan Del Monte, Luca Munzenberger, Luca Hauf, and goalie Florian Bugl. Del Monte had 21 points for the Barrie Colts junior team of the Ontario Hockey League last season. Munzenberger played 32 games at defenseman for Vermont last winter. Hauf posted 32 points for Krefelder Ev 1981 U23 last season. Bugl played for the Red Bull Hockey Juniors of the AlpsHL and last season and posted a 13-7 record with a .916 save percentage and 2.27 goals against average.
