A total of 47 preseason games with ICE participation are scheduled in the coming weeks to date. The EC Red Bull Salzburg will be the first team in the league to play a preseason game on Saturday. The Red Bulls' opening opponent will be the HC Motor České Budějovice. The Czech first division team already played a preseason match against the HC Plzeň 1929, in which they lost with 3:5.

The Salzburg team is looking forward to getting back into the game mode and playing in front of spectators for the first time in a long time. "We are really looking forward to this match, it has been a long time since we played in front of spectators. We are happy to have the fans back and I hope they will show up in equal numbers," said Assistant Captain Dominique Heinrich.

For the first game of the season, the Red Bulls will have to do without convalescents Layne Viveiros and Lucas Thaler. Also newcomer Keegan Kanzig is not yet ready to play. The Canadian is expected to arrive in Salzburg next week.
