Toronto Maple Leafs fire head coach Paul Maurice
World Championship
According to DEB-Online.de the Team Germany used a non-eligible player in it's 4-2 victory over Slovakia.
"Most likely Team Germany's win over Team Slovakia will be changed into a 5:0 victory for Team Slovakia as the German Hockey Federation (DEB) recognized today that Canadian born German defender Jason Holland played in the 1996 IIHF WJC tournament for Team Canada and thus he isn''t eligible to play for Team Germany without having played 4 full seasons in German leagues. As Holland has only played 3 full campaigns with Ingolstadt of the German elite league (DEL) the win is almost certainly gone."UPDATE: Germany's win will stand. Jason Holland has been suspended.
