HC Pouzar, České Budějovice

A ceremonial opening under national flags, team music, a commentator, team parade to national anthems, mascot, light show and the atmosphere of a packed stadium transform the first moments of the tournament into an experience you'll never forget.

During the tournament, teams look forward to quality matches, the comfortable facilities of the modern ice arena, and a restaurant overlooking the ice surface, where parents and fans can comfortably watch all the action.

But the hockey programme doesn't end with the last game of the day. The tournament also includes a garden party at Villa Resort Stromovka, where players, coaches and parents meet in a relaxed atmosphere. DJ, grilling, refreshments and fun create space for new friendships and shared experiences off the ice.

The highlight of the entire tournament is the fight for the trophy, the closing ceremony and medal presentation. The moments every young hockey player imagines when they first step onto the ice.
