One Million Fans in Sight
During the 2024/25 season, the win2day ICE Hockey League is on the verge of surpassing the magical one-million mark for the first time since 2018/19. A total of 977,299 fans have already attended games in the league's 13 arenas this season. With the current momentum, the ICE is on track to reach this major milestone once again.

Playoffs as a Crowd Magnet
As expected, the playoffs are proving to be a true crowd-puller. After 13 post-season games (including the pre-playoffs), a total of 45,414 fans have packed the arenas in just ten days—an average of nearly 3,500 spectators per game. On Thursday in Linz, the 50,000th fan of the post-season could already be welcomed.

The thrilling matchups, electrifying atmosphere, and unpredictable drama of the playoffs make hockey a live experience not to be missed. Even during the pre-playoffs and the early quarterfinal matchups, one thing became clear: the fans are ready for intense playoff nights—and the excitement is rising with every game.
