Spengler Cup in Davos with NHL lockout stars


My recommendation to all hockeyfans on this planet: Watch the Spengler Cup! It’s aired on TV in North America and in Europe and if you are even nearby in this area: Go to Davos and enjoy this hockey-party.


The Spengler Cup is probably the best running machine to sell our great sport of hockey! It is played in a beautifully architected wood-arena in a pitoresque surrounding with snow, mountains, sun but still with the infrastructure of a modern city. This tournament is promoted on a very high level with first-class sponsors, excellent VIP- and fans-houses. If you want to make your wife happy with Champagne, salmon and designer-food in a surrounding where she can carry her new coat and the latest boots: Take her for wine & dine to the nearby Ice-Palace, Yes, go to the Spengler Cup! she will be very happy. If you want to meet hockey-people because you try to enlarge your networking within the hockey-family: Yes, go to the Spengler Cup! If the hockey family still insists to grow our sport into additional potential sponsors, fans or hockey-friends: Never touch the Spengler Cup – it’s the very best stage to promote hockey! If you want to make new hockey-friends from all over the world: Yes, go to the Spengler Cup! If you want to celebrate and drink all night with mostly happy and friendly hockey-fans in good mood: Yes, go to the Spengler Cup and enjoy the fan-house! If you want to watch spectacular hockey-pictures in super “slowmo” on TV with some nice background-stories: Watch the Spengler Cup on TV. If you want interviews with players in no stress and in good mood: Watch the Spengler Cup. If you want to witness spectacular plays on the ice: Watch the Spengler Cup. If you want to witness spectacular plays of world-class players: Watch this year’s Spengler Cup with all the great lockout-stars. Tons of reasons to follow this traditional year-end tourney in Davos. It’s a perfect promoting machine for our beloved sport of hockey, support it, celebrate, and spread good words about hockey to the world-community! Out sport has to grow and the Spengler Cup helps to do so!

Are there reasons not to like the Spengler Cup? Not really but there are some traps: If you want to analyse the game, to predict winners and losers, to judge teams, leagues or details of players: Don’t watch the Spengler Cup. You hardly can find hockey-secrets there, these are pure and straight exhibition games, and we all do know that in hockey there are games and GAMES and the Spengler Cup is games. You never will find the hockey-brain-truth in the Spengler Cup, you can’t rationalise hockey in these games, don’t read anything into results in this tourney but open your hockey-heart, show your good mood, stop the small wars with „hockey-enemies“, let’s party: Let’s go to the Spengler Cup! The sport of hockey deserves it!
