Austria in the ice hockey quarter-finals: fight against Switzerland on Tyrolean ice cream!

Austria's national ice hockey team did it: On May 22, 2025, the team will play in the quarter-finals of the Ice Hockey Championship against Switzerland. The game takes place in the Jyske Bank Boxen Arena in Herning, Denmark, and marks an important milestone for the Austrian team, as this is the first time since 1994 that it moves into a World Cup quarter-finals. Austria secured the place in the quarter-finals with an impressive 6-1 win against Latvia.

The Jyske Bank Boxen Arena was converted into an ice hockey arena in just ten days. Particular attention is paid to the ice cream provided by the Tyrolean company AST Eis and Solartechnik GmbH. A total of 30 games should actually be played on this "Tyrolean" ice cream, with a team of four of AST is responsible for protecting the ice quality. Managing Director Michael Peter emphasizes the need for experience, precision and passion to ensure the maintenance of the ice.

home advantage for the ÖEHV team

The ice in Herning has a special meaning for the local team due to the presence of Austrian technicians. Since the Austrian ice cream is played, the team of coach Roger Bader, who has Swiss roots, could benefit from a certain home advantage. Although the team manager plays against its own nationality on this decisive game day, the positive atmosphere in the hall should not be underestimated.

The IIHF has also reacted to the criticism of the ice ratios in Herning. Some nations, including the Deb, expressed concerns that the surface is considered too soft. In order to counteract this, the World Hockey Association has decided to extend the third-party breaks from 15 to 17 minutes. This is intended to help the ice to freeze better after processing and thus become harder. This regulation also affects the ÖEHV team, even if it does not play in Herning in the group phase.

The quarter -final game against Switzerland will take place on Thursday at 4:20 p.m. and the Austrian team has the opportunity to write history by moving back into the semi -finals for three decades. With optimal conditions and fanatical support, you could take another step into the ice hockey history book.

The signs are good: Austria has put together a talented team and the energy within the team is high. The spectators can look forward to an exciting duel in Herning, where both the players and the fans will enjoy a special ice hockey event.
