ZURICH FANS TAKE IT ALL Who has the best fans in the Champions Hockey League? We set out to find out during the 2018/19 season. Across a variety of interactive online and offline challenges, fans and teams were ranked against other across Europe to see who came out on top.
A
head of the season start in August the CHL launched its new Fan Challenge, designed to find out which of the 32 teams in the competition has the best fans. The interactive platform offered ice hockey enthusiasts from all over the world a virtual place to meet, to compete and to learn about the CHL and the participating teams.
"One of the key findings of our big fan survey from November 2017 was that we need to do more to increase the CHL fan experience," explained CEO Martin Baumann. "We looked at a variety of ideas and proposals, but something fans of all 32 teams across Europe could take part in, both on- and offline, and win things for both themselves and their team, was something we thought ticked those boxes."
By playing, fans were able to win great prizes for themselves – the ultimate of which being a VIP trip for two to the CHL Final. In addition, they also collected points for their favourite team, with prize money for the Top 3 teams of both the Group Stage and the Playoffs.
