Champions Hockey League and the competitive situation

With this victory, Salzburg not only secured their place in the top 16, but also the opportunity to meet German club Ingolstadt in the round of 16. It is worth mentioning that with this defeat, Eisbären Berlin remains in the basement of the Champions Hockey League and urgently needs points to maintain their chances of making the playoffs. Under the leadership of ex-Capitals coach Serge Aubin, the Eisbären rely on an offensive style of play, but were unable to achieve the desired success against the eleventh in the table.

Salzburg's win comes after a recent 3-2 defeat against Fehervar AV19 and shows the club is ready to put in a strong performance in the Champions Hockey League. The club's previous successes, which date back to 2000, have made it one of the most important ice hockey teams in Austria. The club has made a name for itself not only nationally but also internationally and is aiming to win more titles.

Since its founding, EC Red Bull Salzburg has won a number of championships in the ICE Hockey League and most recently won the title again in the 2024/25 season. These successes are the result of consistent youth work and a clear focus on modern, offensive ice hockey. The support from the Red Bull Ice Hockey Academy enables the talents to fully exploit their potential, which has a positive impact on the performance of the main team.

For Red Bull Salzburg it is now the round of 16, where they will try to take the next step in the Champions Hockey League against Ingolstadt. The anticipation for this duel is great, and fans and the team are hoping for another triumphant performance.

In summary, the current status shows that Red Bull Salzburg remains at the top of Austrian ice hockey and has the ambition to play an important role on the international stage. The next challenges will show whether the team can continue on its path to success.
