Ice Hockey World Championship
Austria impressed with offense and fans
With 10th place, Austria's ice hockey team achieved its best result in 21 years at the World Championships in the Czech Republic, which ended on Sunday. The good performances were also reflected in strong offensive statistics, while the short-handed game did not work out as hoped. The ÖEHV selection was one of the most popular teams among the fans. Austria moved up three places to 13th in the world rankings.
109,606 spectators watched the seven Austrian games in the O2 Arena in Prague. With an average of 15,658 spectators, this puts them in fourth place behind hosts the Czech Republic, dethroned world champions Canada and Great Britain.
Goalkeeper David Kickert also performed well
Team boss Roger Bader's team was particularly impressive in attack. With a scoring rate of 13.82 percent (21 goals on 152 shots), Austria was the second most efficient team in scoring behind Germany (15.91). In the power play, they ranked fifth with a rate of 26.32 percent (5 goals in 19 overtime games). Goalkeeper David Kickert also showed good values, ranking sixth with a save rate of 90.48 percent.
However, a former strength, the shorthanded game, did not work. With ten goals conceded in 24 shorthanded games (58.33 percent penalty-killing), Austria was the weakest team with one man less on the ice.
