On July 19, the little citizens of the Children's City of Salzburg were able to go to work one last time and hand out their Salettis. On the same day, cooling began in the ice arena so that cleaning of the ice surface could begin immediately after the Kinderstadt props had been dismantled.

The perfect ice in two and a half weeks
"Four centimetres below the slab are the cold hoses set in concrete. We start slowly and begin at 10 degrees plus so that no cracks appear," says Stefan Prüwasser, operations manager at Eisarena Salzburg. Cooling down takes a total of ten days, with a cleaning truck coming in between to clean the sheet. When the surface temperature is minus 6 degrees, the water is applied. "The base ice is 1 cm thick, then the lines and advertising are applied. Then another 2 cm of ice follows, so that we end up with around 3 to 3.5 cm of ice after a good two days."
The less ice, the easier it is to see the lines. And: "Energy costs increase by 20 percent for every centimeter of ice," says the expert. The ice now has the optimum temperature of minus 7 degrees, in the ice arena you have to be prepared for 12 degrees.
On August 4, after two and a half weeks, everything was finally ready and training began on August 5. "Since then, we've been back in full operation with 10 to 11 hours a day," says Prüwasser, who is still wearing shorts for the time being.
Handover of season tickets on Sunday
Training has been going on in the Eisarena again for three days and it has passed the test with the young guns of Salzburg's junior ice hockey team. The Red Bulls' professional team can be seen in the Eisarena for the first time on September 6 at the CHL home game against Skellefteå AIK.
