The German national ice hockey team caused a sensation at the World Championships in May 2023 and won the silver medal. Now the team of national coach Harry Kreis wants to win the domestic tournament "Deutschland Cup" for the third time in a row. The Deutschland Cup is an annual four-nation tournament, which will be held in Landshut for the first time in 2023.

The fastest team sport in the world offers the best entertainment on the ice: speed, fighting spirit and plenty of goals. With Austria, Denmark, the Czech Republic, Finland and Slovakia, the four-nation tournament for the men and, for the first time, the women's teams will have plenty of high-calibre opponents in store for the German teams.

PENNY is giving away 2x2 day tickets for each of the five tournament days to REWE Group employees.
