Leon Draisaitl has arrived in Germany and was on the ice for their win over Italy. Some home cooking on Mothers’ Day could help him recover the energy lost in the NHL playoffs.For an NHL player to turn up to the Ice Hockey World Championship after a very long season, he really has to want to be there, it is about national pride as opposed to monetary gain. His son Leon, born in Cologne in 1995 while his father was in his second spell with the Cologne Sharks of Germany’s top ice hockey league, has taken his career to another level. Despite having played his 102nd competitive game this season – in the World Cup of Hockey, the NHL and now at the Ice Hockey World Championship in his hometown – Leon Draisaitl, appears determined to continue making an impact over the next few days. His mother’s home cooking may be just what the doctor ordered for this NHL star to recharge his batteries in time for the key game against Latvia on Tuesday.
