Germany releases final roster for 2023 IIHF World Junior Hockey Championship
Germany comes into the 2023 IIHF World Junior Hockey Championship looking to improve on their sixth-place finish at August's tournament.
When looking at the groups for this year's tournament, Germany will more than likely be in a battle for the fourth and final quarter-final spot in Group A with Austria. Germany will face Austria on December 30th, a game that will probably decide who makes the quarter-final, while the other will face the fifth-place team in Group B in the best-of-three relegation series.
Let's take a look at Germany's final 23-man roster for the 2023 World Juniors!
