It’s GC-DAY again!
GC Ice Hockey invites all members of the GC sections to the traditional GC-Day at the Dolder ice rink. On Saturday, 29 November, an unforgettable event awaits as a thank you to the friends and members – at the birthplace of GC Ice Hockey.
This year from 28 November till middle of January, the traditional Christmas tree will be placed in the middle of the rink, surrounded by giant Christmas balls and light chains with over 11,000 LEDs. This year, the Christmas tree is created in cooperation with Migros. It’s the perfect place to enjoy some quality time with friends and family while taking in the Christmas atmosphere.
On the opening day of our Christmas tree, the Migros elf Finn will welcome guests directly on the ice rink. Together with him, you can take atmospheric photos in front of the beautifully decorated Christmas tree, which we have created this year in collaboration with Migros.
