Red Bulls Salute
Zell am See-Kaprun welcomes teams and fans
All ice hockey fans can look forward to this international invitational tournament. From August 16 to 17, 2024, the Red Bulls Salute will take place at our tourism partner Zell am See-Kaprun.
Four participants from four nations
The participants include eleven-time Austrian champions EC Red Bull Salzburg, ten-time Swiss champions ZSC Lions from Zurich, four-time national champions Växjö Lakers from Sweden and four-time German champions EHC Red Bull Munich. This means that four teams from four different top European leagues, which have won a total of 28 national titles, will meet around a month before the start of the 2024/25 PENNY DEL season. The game will be played in the KE Kelit Arena. The home ground of the EK Die Zeller Eisbären offers space for 2,600 spectators.
The fixtures
The Red Bulls Salute will be opened on August 16 at 16:00 by the teams from Munich and Växjö. Salzburg and Zurich will then battle it out for the second ticket to the final at 19:30. The winners of the two semi-finals will then fight for the title in the final on August 17 at 19:00. Before that, the small final for third place will take place at 15:00.

The story
The Red Bulls Salute was already held between 2005 and 2013 as an international invitational tournament for top European teams, and from 2010 it served as the final tournament of the European Trophy. In 2014, it gave way to the newly founded Champions League (CHL) and was resumed in 2017 after a four-year interruption. Since then, the format has been a permanent fixture in the ice hockey calendar.
