It's finally time – the Champions Hockey League hockey is back!
Europe's biggest club ice hockey competition returns for 2024/25 - the competition’s big 10-year anniversary season - with six games scheduled for opening day. Here's what's to look forward to!
The big season-opener will be played in the Enteria Arena, Czechia where home team Dynamo Pardubice will line up against Hungarian challengers Fehérvár AV19 at 17:00 CEST.
Just 30 minutes later, Ilves Tampere will host CHL newcomers Unia Oświęcim in Finland, as the Polish champions get their very first taste of pan-European ice hockey.
19:00 CEST will see two countries light up on the CHL map for the very first time in 2024/25 - Sweden will be represented by the Växjö Lakers who will welcome reigning DEL champions Eisbären Berlin to the Vida Arena and Norway will have its national champions, Storhamar Hamar, proudly bearing the flag when they face a formidable ZSC Lions Zurich, the reigning Swiss champions.
A clash that shouldn't be missed - and one we will cover in-depth as our Spotlight Game of the round - will take place at 19:30 CEST as Sparta Prague lock horns with Tappara Tampere. Two European heavyweights and two teams with countless years of CHL experience going head-to-head.
Finally, rounding out the first day of CHL action will be Fribourg-Gottéron vs. Sheffield Steelers in the BCF Arena in Switzerland. The Steelers are back among Europe's elite for the very first time since 2016/17 and eager to prove themselves after having won the Grand Slam last year.
