Two games on Sunday
The first of two preseason games with ICE participation will take place on Sunday at 5.30 pm: The EC Red Bull Salzburg hosts the spusu Vienna Capitals. While the "Bulls" are still undefeated after two 2:1 successes against EC VSV in the ongoing preseason campaign, the Caps had to take a defeat to Bratislava in the preseason opener. Dave Cameron, Head Coach of the Viennese, expects his team to improve compared to the first test: "It will be important that my players are closer to the man. Against Bratislava, the space between our defenders and our offensive forces was often much too big. We have to work on that. We have to play more as a team". Tickets for this game are still available.

The EC-KAC will have another Slovenian Alps Hockey League team guesting on Sunday at 7.15 pm with HK SZ Olimpija Ljubljana. Already on Friday the Klagenfurt team won against Jesenice with 4:2. The game will be offered via Pay-per-View-Livestream.

“Adam Comrie Memorial” sets up
The management of the EC-KAC and the spusu Vienna Capitals have created the "Adam Comrie Memorial". With an exhibition game on September 13th, the two teams will honor Adam Comrie, who tragically died in an accident a month ago and who scored the 2019 championship winning goal for the "Rotjacken". The game with face-off at 5:30 pm will be broadcast as an online video stream, with all earnings going directly to the Adam Comrie Foundation, set up by his family to support organizations and ideas Adam was fond of.

At the same time the two clubs announced that their planned scrimmages against Hungarian teams (KAC vs. Hydro Fehérvár AV19 on September 11th and VIC vs. DVTK on September 13th) were cancelled.
