Olympia 2022: Bad Test!  Looks like ice hockey star Marco Novak

This question is related to Ice Hockey Germany: How is Marco Novak (31)?

In a 1:5 loss against Canada at the start of the Olympics, Düsseldorfer was checked by Eric O’Dell (31) just before 0:1 and initially remained on the ice. Then he went to the dressing room and didn’t come back until the end of the game.

Captain Moritz Müller (35): “It’s not usually a good sign. We have no idea how he’s doing.” BILD now finds out: Novak was able to spend the night at the Olympic Village so he didn’t have to go to the hospital and is said to have been lightheaded.

The Dresden native, who plays in the DEL for Düsseldorfer EG, wants to be there again on Saturday (9.40am) against China, but was re-active off the ice, absent from team training on Friday.

Sports director Christian Kunst (50): “He’s doing better today than yesterday.” Opinions differ as far as dishonesty or non-fault is concerned. National coach Tony Soderholm (43): “You can evaluate the check from different perspectives. The referee said it was not a foul, what else can you do?”

Striker Patrick Hager (33): “Internationally, they just drive. What matters is where the first contact was. But he wasn’t visible in the video. If it was on the chest it was a good check, If it was on the head it wasn’t a good check. Too easily.”

The fact is: the two walked toward each other, so it wasn’t a bad check from behind or from the side. The stick was also not included. Still, it’s possible that Novak didn’t see O’Dell coming or saw it too late because the puck between his legs and he looked down.

If Germany makes it to the quarter-finals, Novak should again operate at the latest. But maybe he will return against USA on Sunday. The fact is: nothing should be rushed.
