This record only lasted for a short time: two days ago the National League reported that an average of 7,130 fans made a pilgrimage to the Swiss ice hockey halls. A new viewership record in Europe.
But now this figure has been surpassed – by the German ice hockey league DEL. An average of 7,160 fans attended. Our neighboring country is experiencing a real hockey boom. The previous DEL record was 6,647 spectators per match and set in 2016.
“We have an extreme increase of more than 20 percent,” says league boss Gernot Tripcke. “German ice hockey has never had so much interest and attention.” He also attributes the popularity to the successes of the German national hockey team (Olympic silver in 2018, World Cup silver in 2023).
The absolute crowd favorite is the Kölner Haie, which has taken over SCB’s place at the top European position with an average of 16,993 fans. (cmu)
