Why here

Four reasons teams come back

01

A major-event atmosphere

Flag parade, anthem, lights, pyro and a full house. An eight-year-old gets a day they will still remember in twenty years.

02

One category, one weekend

Every age group gets its own weekend. The whole arena belongs to one category — no team disappears into the crowd.

03

European AAA competition

The tournament is open to teams from across Europe. You face hockey and a style of play you will not meet at home.

04

Everything else is handled

Hotel, lunches, extra ice, transport. The coach thinks about the line-up, not about dinner logistics.

What it looks like

An atmosphere the kids will not forget

Entering through a tunnel of pyrotechnics, the anthem under the video cube, trophies on the ice and full stands. This is what the first edition looked like.
