Zurich – The Austrian team suffered the expected first defeat in the fourth group game of the Ice Hockey World Cup against hosts Switzerland on Wednesday. This was particularly tough against the runner-up world champion in Zurich with 0:9 (0:4.0:3.0:2). The next opponent for team boss Roger Bader’s team is Germany on Saturday; a win against their weak neighbors would bring them back into the quarter-finals. Afterwards you will face Finland and defending champions USA.
