The popular Santa Claus Cup international junior ice hockey tournament is moving to Győr for the next three years.

For several years we have been toying with the idea of 'what if...'. Year after year, we have been faced with the fact that it is getting more and more difficult to organize the event in Dunaújváros - simply because we have outgrown the possibilities of the city and the infrastructure. Even though we love the location and Dunaújváros is an integral part of the Santa Claus Cup's history, we need to move forward and take the event to a higher level. Regardless, teams from all over Europe have carried the reputation of Dunaújváros for many years, and many people will remember the tournaments we organized on Dunaújváros ice for a long time to come.

Fortunately, the continuation is assured: after several months of negotiations, we managed to sign a three-year contract with the city of Győr and the ice rink's operator organization, HC Győri ETO.

Accordingly, we are already working hard to make the 16th Santa Claus Cup the best and biggest junior tournament in Europe again this year - and to give the visiting players, coaches and parents as much fun as possible.
