Germany for the first time, or Canada, the record holder for the 28th time?
This is the only question that remains to be answered before the final match of this year’s World Cup. Even before the final, it was certain that the Germans could achieve the greatest success in the World Cup in their modern history of hockey, since they last won the silver of the World Championships in 1953, in the “heroic era”, but then the tournament was held in a completely different format , and only European teams participated in it, and they took part in it.
However, the past did not seem to matter much to the Germans, who won the semi-final against the United States in overtime, who faced the Maple Leafs, and in the eighth minute – the one that also scored against us – John Petrka through which they gained the lead. The Canadians quickly converted and only two minutes later Samuel Bliss Draw.
