If my player was to play for any IIHF team other than Canada it would be Germany. I would choose Germany because I simply find myself rooting for Germany in many IIHF tournaments, they have some great players on NHL rosters including Moritz Seider, JJ Peterka, Tim Stutzle, and not to mention that one guy Leon Draisaitl. Also, the jerseys they used in the world juniors tournament from 2018 until 2022 are freaking sick. I love that design of the blend of colours coming down the shoulders into the sleeves. It's a nice pop of colour but not too much as to take away from the jersey itself. In a few years I can certainly see Germany competing more in IIHF tournaments, it seems that they have produced more prospects and players in recent years and could make a pretty competitive team, in my opinion, for IIHF tournaments or even the world cup of hockey if it were to ever return.
