In the recently completed 2018/19 Champions Hockey League season, the CHL Marketing Award was introduced for the first time in league history. The prestigious award honours the most creative and active club promoting the CHL. Together with the implemented activities and promotions, the clubs’ CHL marketing campaigns were evaluated by a jury consisting of six members (CHL Office, Infront Sports & Media AG, eSports, Two Circles, LGT Bank and Professor Jon Andrea Schocher).

GKS Tychy, CHL participant from Poland, achieved this appreciation for their fantastic work and efforts, their enormous creativity and smart execution of activities and promotions.

Robert Hauffe (Marketing Manager) and Krzysztof Trzosek (Communication Manager) from GKS Tychy were at the CHL Final in Gothenburg to accept the award.

“We’re very proud and excited to be the first winners of the CHL Marketing Award,” said Hauffe. “We love the CHL, hope to qualify again and still have a lot of ideas and concepts in mind to defend our title.”

Champions Hockey League CEO Martin Baumann honoured the first-ever winners of the CHL Marketing Award in the first intermission of the CHL Final and handed over the award and a cheque for € 10,000.
