The organizers have thought of something special and created an eSpengler Cup. Everyone who owns a game console can participate in this year's eSpengler Cup.
Long partnership has tradition
In Switzerland, Škoda is closely associated with sports and is the mobility partner of HC Davos, EHC Biel, Lausanne HC, GSHC and EHC Chur. The highlight of the partnership is the annual traditional tournament - the Spengler Cup.
Škoda has been one of the main sponsors of the Spengler Cup since 2007 and is again supporting the somewhat different event in this special year.
Markus Kohler, Head of Škoda Switzerland Brand: "Although not as a mobility partner in the classic sense, it was still important for Škoda Switzerland to set an example for sport in 2020 as well."
Grand finale on December 26, 2020
The qualification tournaments will take place on the EA-Sports NHL21 Game until December 16, 2020. The finals will be played analogous to the Spengler Cup mode on December 19, 2020 and the final will be broadcast live on srf.ch/sport on December 26, 2020.
The following teams will be at the digital Spengler Cup: HC Davos, HC Ambri Piotta, Team Canada, Ak Bars Kazan, Sparta Prague and KooKoo Kouvola. These teams would have also participated in the original Spengler Cup.
