Two big events within three months: 2022 is a big year for national ice hockey coach Patrick Fischer. He consciously sets himself high goals.
in short needed
- The Swiss ice hockey team will participate in the Olympics and the World Cup in 2022.
- Coach Patrick Fischer is aiming for the semi-finals of both tournaments.
- Compared to the past, it takes a “killer instinct”.
The Swiss national ice hockey team is facing a crucial year in 2022. Two major events are on the horizon, two medal chances for Patrick Fischer’s team. The head coach has deliberately set higher goals for the new season than the previous one.
However, on Thursday there was a slight setback in the beginning. Slovakia beat Switzerland 7-1 in the Germany Cup.

And yet: the semi-finals at both the Olympics in Beijing and the World Cup in Finland are the declared goal. “It’s an honest goal and we absolutely want to take the next step,” Fischer said ahead of the Germany Cup in Cham.
Patrick Fischer doesn’t want any more “hypocritical targets”
The low piles of the last few years, when the quarter-finals were determined as objective, should be discarded. The march’s direction, Fischer says, is to “end these hypocritical quarter-final goals.”
The bitter quarter-finals of the last World Cup are still heavy in the stomach of the bankrupt Swiss head coach. Against Canada and Germany, the leadership was surrendered shortly before the end.
Should be avoided in the future – Patrick Fischer already has the recipe. “We have to keep our foot on the gas pedal till the end. We have to develop a killer instinct by the end of the game,” demands the Jug native.
