About the Tournament
The Alps Hockey Cup returns to Zell am See for its second edition.
What started as a brand-new AAA showcase is now growing fast: more age groups, more teams, and even more international talent coming to the Alps.
Top-tier junior hockey. Summer ice. Mountains and lake views — all in one of Europe’s most scenic destinations.
It’s summer, it’s hockey, it’s next-level vibes.
Organized by the people behind WHC
The Alps Hockey Cup is powered by the team behind the World Hockey Championships (WHC) – including tournament mastermind Bernd Brückler, organization queen Lisa Gutlederer, and stats wizard Wolfgang Gärtner. Known for their dedication, passion, and precision, this team brings the same level of quality and heart to the AHC
