"Pat Cortina is a good coach with great character and always put heart and soul into his work with our national team. Personally, I appreciate him very much, but after 3 years of good cooperation we came to the common conclusion that the national team needs a new staff to prepare our next big goal: the home World Championship in 2017 " said German Ice Hockey Federation President Franz Reindl announcing the contract with headcoach Pat Cortina, expired after the World Championship in Prague, will not be renewed.

A decision about the new coach will be taken by Federation, along with representatives of the German Ice Hockey League (DEL) probably no later than mid-June.  

"I really enjoyed the time as national coach of Germany, so the news is sad for me. It was a great honor for me to be able to hold this position. It's something that I'm going to be proud for all my life. A big thank you to all the players and to my staff team and the great staff at the Federation office. I wish all the best for the German ice hockey for the future" said Pat Cortina in a short statement

Italo-Canadian Pat Cortina coached Germany in last three World Championships, with a 9th, 14th and 10th final placement. He lead also u20 team in last World Championship in Canada, where Germany was relegated. Previously Cortina coached Italy and Hungary national teams and Asiago (ITA), SAPA Székesfehérvár (HUN), Innsbruck (AUT) and EHC Munchen (GER)
