The pyeongchang silver medal field hockey team loses two of its long-time members in one fell swoop and is finally history in its olympic lineup.

Captain marcel goc and goalie patrick reimer announced their retirement from the national team one and a half months after the biggest success in german ice hockey history, following star defenseman christian ehrhoff, who had even announced his career end in march. National coach marco sturm will thus be at the upcoming world championship (4.-20. May) forced to change and rebuild.
