Ice hockey fans can once again look forward to two top-class match days when four top teams from four European top leagues - two champions, one runner-up and one regular season winner - meet for the fourth time in a row at the Sportpark Kitzbühel from August 13 to 14 and set a first highlight before the start of the 2022/23 season.

In Kitzbühel, too, the anticipation is once again very high. For the fourth time, the ice hockey elite will meet there for a big exchange of blows before the start of the season and will thrill the fans with top-class games. The tournament in the heart of Tyrol is again supported by Kitzbühel Tourism, Bergbahn AG Kitzbühel and EC Die Adler Stadtwerke Kitzbühel.

"We are delighted that the Red Bull Salute is taking place again in Kitzbühel, the most legendary sports town in the Alps. We wish the teams good luck and all the best for the tournament days," said KitzSki board members Anton Bodner and Christian Wörister. The managing director of Kitzbühel Tourism, Dr. Viktoria Veider-Walser, also agrees: "With the Red Bulls Salute Tournament once again being held in Kitzbühel, we are looking forward to top-class teams and exciting games in the most legendary sports town in the Alps."

Salzburg's Head Coach Matt McIlvane: "The Red Bulls Salute is always a great tournament for us and offers the opportunity to prepare in the best possible way for the Champions Hockey League and the basic round in the win2day ICE Hockey League. It's exciting to have two new top teams in the tournament alongside Munich and us. We are already very excited about Zug, a top team from Switzerland, as well as the Czech top team Mountfield HK. The tournament seems to be getting stronger and stronger and we are already very excited about the challenge."
