Karl Nedwed Trophy
The champions trophy of the win2day ICE Hockey League was awarded for the first time in 2007, since then all champions have been recorded on it. At that time, EC Red Bull Salzburg secured the title. When Karl Nedwed, who was league president from 2005 to 2009, passed away in November 2014 at the age of 71, the trophy was renamed in his honor. On April 14th, 2015, EC Red Bull Salzburg became the first team to lift the "Karl Nedwed Trophy" after a final sweep against Vienna. After the Red Bulls, who defended their title in 2016 and won it again in 2022, the spusu Vienna Capitals, HCB Südtirol Alperia and twice EC-KAC won the trophy.

The pot has seen a lot on its now 19-year journey, as in the course of the celebrations, it broke during Salzburg's triumph in Znojmo, for example, or it has already been forgotten at a bus stop or ended up in bed with Capitals forward Rafael Rotter. It has already returned to the league without a single scratch, with several dents or even in 26 individual parts. Over the summer, the trophy will be given the necessary finishing touches and the players' names will be engraved.
