As Olympic rosters are being named, Germany has come out with their list of 25 players. Sadly, no former Maple Leafs are among the names given, but some are familiar:

Goaltenders:  
Danny aus den Birken, EHC Red Bull Munich

Head Coach:  
Marco Sturm

The names that plop out for me are Christian Erhoff, who played for the Boston Bruins last season and Marcel Goc who last played in the NHL in 2014-15 with the St. Louis Blues. Marco Sturm is a longtime San Jose Sharks player who was included in the Joe Thornton trade, who had his final NHL season in 2011-12 with the Florida Panthers.

The Germans last competed in the 2010 Winter Olympics, where they finished 11th. They haven’t won a medal since 1976 where they took bronze.
