The band wrote this song especially for the event which is taking place in Switzerland until May 10th.
Heinz Mazenauer, speaker of the Hockey Championship Committee prophesizes enthusiastically: “The song is destined to become a smash hit. Krokus are rocking hard, straight forward, uncompromising and therefore are the perfect fit to the sport of ice hockey and what it stands for.”
On Friday night April 24th, the band performed the song 'live' in Bern at the ice hockey opener of Switzerland against France. In front of a packed stadium and broadcasted via TV to 800 million viewers in over 100 countries.

The release date for their first new product – long anticipated by fans as the "real Krokus album" – is planned towards the end of this year.
