Exactly in one month, on Saturday, September 10th, the Alps Hockey League will start its seventh season with 15 teams. While defending champion Migross Supermercati Asiago Hockey, the VEU Feldkirch and the Vienna Capitals Silver are no longer part of the league, an entirely new team, with the Hockey Unterland Cavaliers, has joined the multinational league. The match schedule for the 2022/23 season initially provides 28 games per team in the Regular Season. This will be followed by a Master and Qualification Round before the new champion will be determined in the Playoffs.

Right at the start, there will be a duel between Jesenice and Cortina, among others. League newcomer Hockey Unterland Cavaliers will start their Alps Hockey League adventure with a home game on September 17th. After all teams have played each other twice in the Regular Season, the intermediate round, consisting of Master and Qualification Round, will start.

Intermediate round starts on January 19th
In the Master Round, the best five teams after the Regular Season will fight for the best possible starting position for the playoffs. The remaining teams will play for pre-playoff spots in the Qualification Round, where the last three playoff tickets will be awarded. In both the Master and Qualification Round, a round robin will be played.

Playoffs in a "best-of-7" mode
The subsequent playoffs are scheduled to begin on March 7th. Both quarterfinals, semifinals and the finals will be played in a "best-of-7" mode for the first time. The champion of the 2022/23 season is to be decided no later than Saturday, April 22nd.

Main match days remain Thursday and Saturday
As in previous seasons, Thursday and Saturday will be the main match days of the Alps Hockey League in the upcoming season. For logistical and infrastructural reasons, "road trips" are also set for the upcoming season, which means that some games will also be played away from the main match days.
