Austria wins despite the Schiri scandal: 5-2 against France!
On May 17, 2025, the Austrian national team won a decisive victory at the Ice Hockey Championship in Stockholm. Austria prevailed 5-2 against France and thus secured the relegation in group A. This important result follows an unfortunate defeat in the first game against Finland, which ended 1-2, with a goal by Marco Kasper being revoked after video studies. Despite these difficult circumstances, victory against France was a bright spot.
In the course of the game, however, there were controversial decisions by the referees who caused excitement. A clear foul was overlooked to Vinzenz Rohrer, which finally led to France's Jordann Perret scored 1: 3 in return. In the final third in particular, Rohrer fell victim to another stick. The decision of the referees provided for beekeeping, and ORF expert Peter Znenahlik criticized this as an "absolute bankruptcy declaration" of the impartial, as reported.referee controversy and World Cup context
The problems with the referees are not just an issue for Austria. The Swiss national team was also faced with similar difficulties.

This happened at a time when the Nati 21 games in a row in the World Cup group phase was unbeaten. Trainer Patrick Fischer expressed himself skeptically about the decisions of the referees, but did not want to raise any direct allegations, such as [20min.ch] (https://www.20min.ch/story/eishockey-wm-schiedrichter-duell- against-kanada-103109721) explained.
