The possible entry of a team from Milan into the ICE Hockey League continues to cause discussions – but concrete details about the project are still scarce.
Like insider Bernd Freimüller on “laola1.at“ reports that there are two backers behind the project: the cryptocurrency company House of Dogewho with Dogecoin works, as well as the South Tyrolean company intercom/Dr. Leitner GmbH. The project is also supported by the Italian Ice Hockey Association under President Andrea Gios. Entrepreneur Christof Leitner was already involved in the construction of the ice facilities for the Winter Olympics in Milan with its brand “Realice – Ice Rink Technologies”.
The first connections to sport also exist: “House of Doge” has been with the Swiss club since 2025 HC Sierre committed and holds shares in the Italian football club US Triestina Calcio 1918.
Possible homestead still “unknown”
The venue is still a big question mark. A temporary arena with around 4,000 seats on the exhibition grounds is being discussed Fiera Milano Rhowhere one of the Olympic halls could be rebuilt after the games. However, there is no concrete schedule yet.
Organizationally, the project is still in its infancy: neither a team name nor those responsible for the sport have been determined. The sports manager, who is experienced in Switzerland, is considered a possible candidate for a leading role Chris McSorleywho also works at HC Sierre.
Financial incentive for ICEHL
Milan is definitely of interest to the league. The metropolis offers a large market, and additional investors are welcome due to limited sponsorship and TV revenue. As with previous applicants, the Milanese would also have to pay an entry fee and a financial guarantee – initially for a two-year trial engagement.
However, the chances of being accepted are currently considered to be a maximum of 50 percent. Too many questions are still unanswered, which is why league representatives are following their experiences Asiago hockey have become more cautious.
