New Olympic Expert: Eurosport Ice Hockey Brings Silver Hero Ehrhof

Olympic silver hero Christian Ehrhoff (39) turns ice hockey expert at Eurosport!

During the Beijing Winter Games (February 4 to 20), the former defender will analyze the games in the Olympic tournament. Beginning February 9, Ehrhoff and presenter Simon Sudel (45) will proceed through the daily 90-minute show “Olympic Hockey Night” – each time at 8:15 pm.

In 2018 Ehrhoff and the national team finished a sensational second at the Olympics in Pyeongchang (South Korea). He still “remembers the semi-final win over Canada. Emotionally, that was the best moment because we guaranteed ourselves a medal with a win,” says Ehrhoff. “The silver medal and two great tournaments in Pyeongchang. The memories of the week are still fresh. I now want to bring back the sentiment in reporting in Eurosport and help viewers delve analytically into ice hockey.

Ehrhoff knows the top players in the NHL, a North American professional league, from personal experience. Erhoff played a total of 862 games from 2003 to 2016 – even against superstars such as Russia’s Alexander Ovechkin (36) and Canada’s Sidney Crosby (34).

Regarding the Germans’ prospects, Krefeld said: “You can’t expect another medal from the German team. Getting into the top 8 would be a great success.”

Besides Ehrhoff, former national players Patrick Ehlechner (37) and Andreas Renz (44) are experts. Gerhard Leinauer, Mirko Heintz and Christoph Stadler comment on it.
