First Training Session on Thursday, August 8 at Cornèr Arena

The first team and staff of Hockey Club Lugano, accompanied by the U20-Elit team, will also participate this year in the Parade of Authorities and City Associations on August 1 in Lugano. On this occasion, the first team players will parade hand in hand with the girls and boys of the U11 team. The meeting point for the black and white fans, before the parade departs from Via Nassa at 8:45 PM, will be Piazza Battaglini where, starting from the late afternoon of Wednesday, July 31, the Grottino del DNA Bianconero & Events will be operating.

The first team training on the ice of Cornèr Arena is scheduled for Monday, August 5 from 10:15 AM. But the first real moment of sharing between the team and the black and white fans will be the evening of Thursday, August 8. Starting from 6:00 PM, the buvette on the first level of the East Stand will be open offering snacks. Welcomed by President Vicky Mantegazza, Luca Gianinazzi's boys will carry out an initial warm-up phase on the ice from 6:15 PM and then play a two-team match.

In addition to enjoying the coolness of the rink, enthusiasts will be able to satisfy their curiosity and see the new faces in the squad: from the foreigners Calle Dahlström, Jiri Sekac, and Radim Zohorna to the Swiss Joren Van Pottelberghe and David Aebischer.

At the end of the training session, around 7:35 PM, fans will be able to freely go down on the ice to take selfies and collect autographs from their favorites.
