Ice hockey World Cup
World recordler Ambühl in front of the last duel with Germany
Andres Ambühl currently holds world records. But the career of the Swiss international national player is coming to an end. The arch -rival is waiting on Thursday.
The Swiss world recorder Andres Ambühl has played many times against the German national ice hockey team at a World Cup. The duel on Thursday (4.20 p.m./ProSieben and Magentasport) will also be something special for the 41-year-old. It may be the last appearance after numerous highly exciting encounters against Germany. After the World Cup in Denmark and Sweden, Ambühl is finally over.
He continues to expand his records. Ambühl has played 144 World Cup games so far. For Switzerland he came to 344 international matches. There was also no ice hockey professional on a total of 20 world championships. “He is an incredible ice hockey player, but also an incredible person,” said goalkeeper and team colleague Leonardo Genoni (37) about the Swiss crowd favorite.
Club career already ended
Ambühl is no longer needed on the ice in the team of coach Patrick Fischer as in the past. He came to 78 seconds in the strong 3-0 of the Swiss against the United States. “It’s a World Cup. It’s not about me personally, it’s about the team,” said the long -time captain of HC Davos. In April after 1322, he ended his club career at the Swiss Club after 1322 missions.
With Switzerland, on the other hand, he still hopes for the big coup. In 2013 and 2024 it went to World Cup silver with the Confederates. Archrival Germany is waiting for Ambühl and its Swiss on Thursday. “As always, it will be a tight game,” said the player, who is only called “Büeli”. Perhaps there is still a reunion with the German team when both reach the final weekend in Stockholm.
