Six NHL players, including Buffalo Sabres play maker Jochen Hecht, have been named to Germany’s Olympic hockey team today.

Former NHL veteran defenseman Uwe Krupp, who will be coaching the team, announced Hecht’s addition to the team today. Boston’s Marco Sturm, Vancouver’s Christian Ehrhoff, Florida’s Dennis Seidenberg, Nashville’s Marcel Goc and San Jose’s Thomas Greiss have already been selected to the team.

AHL player Alexander Sulzer, a Nashville Predators prospect, also made the team.

Germany, which is ranked No. 11 in the world by the IIHF, opens up Olympic competition against defending Olympic gold medalist Sweden on Feb. 17.
