Women's, Men's and U18 National Teams begin their World Cham­pi­onship spring campaigns

In just under two weeks, the Women's National Team will open the Austrian Ice Hockey Federation's World Championship spring campaign. At the Division IA World Championship in Shenzhen (CHN), the team is aiming to finally fulfil its dream of reaching the Top Division. Immediately afterwards, the U18 National Team will look to defend the bronze medal won last year at the Division IA World Championship in Szekesfehervar (HUN). This week, the Men's National Team begins preparations for the 2025 World Championship in Stockholm (SWE). The high-calibre preparation programme includes friendlies against Latvia, Hungary, world champions Czechia, Germany and Canada. In addition, during today's press conference, ÖEHV presented the regional economic study on the 2024 Women's Division IA World Championship in Klagenfurt, which generated a total added value of more than € 3,4 million.
