With ice hockey danglers starting to grow in popularity for extra neck protection below the chin of a helmet/mask, the Euro Hockey League games highlighted this, in reflection of those goalkeepers participating. Mulheim's Reuss has been wearing one for quite some time, but it was also possible to spot Harvesthuder's first choice Walter with one attached to his headgear. Interestingly, he did not bother to tie up the middle area, with just ties on the sides of the dangler, leaving the middle of the helmet free for movement (but also free to create a gap in transit when moving around his D).

Reuss awarded GK of tournament for Indoor Euro's
With Jessulat called up to the German outdoor squad in the World Hockey League last month, getting some playing time in the tournament, competing with current first choice Jacobi (with double Olympic gold medallion Weinhold being phased out of the international set-up to make way for new blood), Felix Reuss has been in action in international indoor hockey in the recent Euro competition. Jessulat is obviously a strong goalkeeper in indoor, with a style that is very mobile, confident and aggressive, best suited to this format, and is capable of quite the many saves!

But the German selectors obviously want to see how he can cope with the pressures of the outdoor game as they look to decide who to take as first and second choice as they build up to Rio, now almost half way through the Olympic calendar. So with Reuss still featuring in their decision making, he was given the chance to try his hand at international indoor goalkeeping, with experience in indoor with his club side at home in Germany.
And he did a good job at that, impressing coaches and commentators alike, doing so well he managed to earn the award for best goalie.
