Ice hockey in Bratislava
Ice hockey
Ice hockey is the most popular spectator sport in Slovakia. The world championship trophy brought home by the Slovak national team in 2002 was celebrated with street parties of a scale previously unseen in Slovakia.
Bratislava is represented in the Slovak national league by HC Slovan Bratislava (in Slovak only). Slovan plays its home games at Samsung Arena on Odbojarov. The team won the 2005 Slovak league championship led by Slovak NHL-star Miroslav Satan. The stadium seats close to 7,500 people. Tickets to regular season games cost SKK 100 (EUR 3.13)-SKK 200 (EUR 6.25) with prices rising for play-off games.
Tickets can be bought from the stadium on game days. For the game schedule check HC Slovan Bratislava website (home games marked in blue). or the Bratislava Event Calendar Sports section.
The IIHF decided in May 2006 that Bratislava and Kosice (Slovakia's second city) will host the 2011 World Ice Hockey Championship.

Grainne, Chris, unfortunately very bad time to go to Bratislava for an ice-hockey game. As you certainly know, there are Winter Olympic Games in Torino between 10 and 24th February, including the hockey tournamanent with Slovakian national team present. So all the major hockey leagues have to have a break. The closest home games in Bratislava: Feb. 3 and Feb. 28, beginnings at 6:30 PM.
