The Ice Comes Back to Speak

There is a place where hockey is not just a sport. It is memory, belonging, passion. It is Cortina.

Thursday, September 24, at 8.30 p.m., the Olympic Ice Stadium turns on its lights for the official debut of the Cortina Ice Sports in the ALPS Hockey League 2026/27. On the other side of the ice, the Austrians of EK Die Zeller Eisbären. Aalps.hockey+1

A first time that tastes of history: the Olympic venue returns to the spotlight after being the stage for the Cortina Games 1956 and, sixty years later, the Milano Cortina 2026 Olympic and Paralympic Games. A renewed arena, new spaces for athletes and the public, and the same white and blue soul as ever.

At 6.30 p.m. the ticket offices open, at 8.00 p.m. public access begins, and at 8.30 p.m. the first face-off.

The new season brings with it a promise: to experience the ice together, game after game. Because in the stands, there are not just fans. There is a valley, a history, an identity.

A story to live. A glory to defend. A tradition to pass on.

Tickets from €10. Reduced €5; free admission for those born after 01/01/2016.
