Every time they win, hockey players from Orlová will get 100 beers

“A hundred beers for each win is a nice bonus and good news not only for players, but for fans as well. I am sure that we will find a way to share it with them and to thank them for their support,” promised Martin Potočný, captain of the Orlová hockey team.

The ambitious team from Orlová will meet in the quarterfinals with a dangerous team from Nový Jičín. However, all fans of the Orlová hockey team believe that the season won’t end with this game, but a lot later.

“I believe that the motivation in the form of beer will add a good mood and relaxation in the locker room of the Orlová team,” said manager of the Radegast brand, Pavel Kmínek, who added that this motivation in Orlová is not the first one in this season: “We brought our promotional team to selected games and they entertained the fans before and after the game. Players met the fans at a pub. Setting a record in hockey attacks on the goalie, as part of the celebration of the 80th anniversary of hockey in Orlová, was a big hit.”

Various activities are part of the Radegast Supports Moravian Hockey concept.
