It was a close race between the three defensemen Christian Ehrhoff, Dennis Seidenberg and Christoph Schubert. All three guys played very good at the olympic games in Salt Lake City. ... and the Draftee Award goes to Schubert. As Ehrhoff and Seidenberg played solid, Schubert was the most impressive player of these guys. He dished out many checks. He also had a good restart in the DEL-season after the olympic break. Schubert recorded one goal and two assists in four games.

Please read Brandon LeBourveau's comments about their olympic appereance in his current article "Youngsters at the Olympics".

For the second time, the award goes to Thomas Greilinger. He extended his awesome performances from the last weeks. In February, Greilinger scored four goals and one assist in five games. In addition, his current stats for the season are: 38 GP, 12 G, 15 A, 27 PTS, +10, 8 PIM.

Honorable mention: Andreas Morczinietz, who scored four points in four DEL-games and two assists in three games during the first round at the olympics. Before he was replaced by Jochen Hecht. Also, his brother, goalie Martin Morczinietz, garnered this mention. He became the undisputed number one in Geretsried, a third league based team.
