1.  IISHF Men European Championships 2024 – updated Time Schedule.

The IISHF Presidium has received a request from the hosting club Amstetten to approve a change of the Time Schedule for the upcoming IISHF Men European Championships 2024 so that the game Germany vs. Austria shall be moved from Friday to Thursday September 19, at 8 PM (20.00).

It has been requested by the hosting club so they can guarantee as many spectators as possible at the start to the European Championship to bring forward the originally planned match 2 from Friday September 20, 2024, from 11.45 AM Germany vs. Austria to Thursday September 19, 2024, at 8 PM (20.00). This would give the opportunity to promote the sport of skater hockey on Thursday at the opening ceremony and organize a great kick-off for our sport in front of numerous spectators.

This would not affect the rest of the match schedule. It will remain the same as it is.

This has now been accepted by both the Austrian and the German Federation and approved by the IISHF Presidium.

Attached please find the updated Time Schedule and Tournament Rules.
