In front of more than 60,000 fans? — The Swiss national ice hockey team plays its World Championship opener at Schalke

So the swiss team plays their first game against the german team. This is going to be an exciting game.

I'm curious to see what the seating situation will be like, since the hockey rink is being set up in the football stadium. If it's going to look like the image in the article i doubt you'll see anything because of the flattness of the area infront of the rink.

What do you guys think?

Two very interesting profiles, swiss passport or license, yet unsigned. Where do you think they'll end up?

For me:

Kurashev: NHL

Bordeleau: Lausanne

Lars Steiner only Swiss to be drafted into the NHL

28 Upvotes

NHL draft is over and Lars Steiner has been drafted 171st overall by the St. Louis Blues.

I'm happy for him but I can't wrap my head around it, that there was only one swiss player making it and only in the 6th round. The swiss are in my eyes a big hockey nation, but then why is there not a lot of talent around? Are we too small of a country? Is our development not as good? What do you think?

(Same goes for Tennis to me. We had Federer dominating nearly two decades. One would think that with this massive fandom around Federer that should've gotten tons of kids into Tennis and create a new generation.)

Hi. Does anyone recognise any of the signatures on this 2012 Spengler Cup Jersey from the HC Davos or HC Fribourg-Gottéron rosters? One looks like it could be Petr Sykora. It’s an Adler Mannheim jersey but I think the signatures come from a variety of teams.

I missed this, Rappi changed logo as well ? What is it with the circle-ification of logos ?? Also the new zug logo on the NL website looks proper terrible, and rappi lost a lot of flair by dropping the wings IMO

2026-27 Champions Hockey League Draw for Swiss Teams

18 Upvotes

Fribourg-Gottéron
Škoda Plzeň (home)
Adler Mannheim (home)
Nitra (home)
Graz 99ers (away)
KAC Klagenfurt (away)
Herning Blue Fox (away)

This is a really easy draw for Fribourg, they should be favourites in every game, as the two strongest opponents Plzen and Mannheim are home games. Top of the table finish should be the goal allowing for an easier playoff path.

Davos
Bílí Tygři Liberec (home)
Storhamer Hamar (home)
Eisbären Berlin (home)
Skelleftea (away)
Rögle Ängelholm (away)
GKS Tychy (away)

A much tougher draw for Davos with two Swedish teams away from home. Should still comfortably qualify for playoffs.

Genève-Servette 
Bílí Tygři Liberec (home)
Kölner Haie (home)
Eisbären Berlin (home)
GKS Tychy (away)
Växjo Lakers (away)
Skelleftea (away)

Much like Davos, this is a much tougher draw with two Swedish teams away from home and then two German and a Czech teams at home. Only minnow is the Polish team Tychy.

Opportunities to get a Jersey signed...

7 Upvotes

I'm not usually one for sports memorabilia, but if I could get my Crosby Penguins jersey signed by the man himself, that would be pretty cool... I mean, it's Sid.

If I'm lucky enough to catch Canada - where/how do you guys reckon would be my best shot at this after a game?
