EHC Red Bull Munich at the Oktoberfest

Monday, 18. September 2023 | EHC Red Bull Munich at the Oktoberfest

Wiesn visit: It's "O'zapft is" for our team, too!Players, coaches and staff at the Oktoberfest// CURRENTOn Monday, the Red Bulls accepted the invitation of our partner Hacker-Pschorr and paid the traditional visit to the Oktoberfest.

The official opening of the Wiesn had to take place without our guys this year. Because first on Sunday the away game at the Adler Mannheim was on the schedule. In a top game that lived up to its name, coach Toni Söderholm's team earned a point. The Red Bulls were only defeated by the hosts in a penalty shootout (3:4 n.p.).

Already on Thursday, our team won the DEL opener against Düsseldorf 4:2. With four points in the bag, we finally went to the Theresienwiese on Monday, or more precisely to the marquee of our partner Hacker-Pschorr, whose popular beer will be served at our home games until 2034. A video of our visit to the Wiesn will follow later today.

Kastner wants to show newcomers the Wiesn

"Today is about getting away from everyday life and sports for a bit. The guys also need time together away from the ice," explained Söderholm at the opening of the team visit. Under the Bavarian sky, there was feasting, laughing and swaying together in good spirits.

For some players, a visit to the Wiesn is a tradition, for others a completely new experience. "For some guys it's the first time. We want to show them the whole thing and experience the atmosphere together," announced Maxi Kastner, who, as Munich's longest-serving player, has made it his mission to show the newcomers the most important things at Oktoberfest: "The Maß, Wiesn songs and maybe dancing on the benches for a change."

Almquist: "Incredible here!"

This should be something entirely new, especially for one of the Red Bulls' newcomers. Our Swedish defender Adam Almquist is visiting Oktoberfest for the first time this year and was immediately impressed.

"It's incredible here, it's a very special experience. It's always good when the team does something together. We'll definitely have a Hacker-Pschorr or two," Almquist said, explaining, "I mean, it's Oktoberfest after all!"
