The fans created the best atmosphere.
The enthusiasm at the official championship celebration of the Red Bulls on Tuesday in and in front of the Stiegl-Brauwelt was all the greater. Hundreds of weatherproof supporters of Salzburg braved the rainy weather and cheered the team and the coaching team, who presented the championship trophy and reviewed the season once again. Head coach Matt McIlvane and striker Ty Loney, both of whom said goodbye to Salzburg, were particularly loudly celebrated. The coach is returning to the United States, where, according to SN information, he was hired by the Anaheim Ducks’ NHL organization. It is with a heavy heart that the popular player has to end his professional career due to health reasons.
However, the two did not appear in a mood of mourning. McIlvane was the first to storm off the double-decker bus in which the championship team was being driven. Like many of his players, he still had a bottle of beer in his hand. Another popular accessory that didn’t go with the gloomy weather at all, but indicated the celebration marathon in the team, were the sunglasses on the nose.
The “Karl Nedwed Trophy”, with which captain Thomas Raffl was the last to get off the bus, has also experienced a lot in the past few days. The championship trophy broke for the first time in Bozen and also took a beating on its nightly tour of Salzburg. The club’s equipment department was able to mostly patch the trophy back together. But one handle was missing at the championship celebration with the fans.

Chay Genoway had already presented the trophy in his daughter’s kindergarten in the morning.
Incidentally, Chay Genoway seized the trophy in the morning and took it to his daughter’s kindergarten, the English Play Group in Aigen. The youngsters were also well represented at the celebration in the evening and celebrated vigorously. In general, the mood during the presentation of all parts of the team (including the medical and fitness department) on the stage was just as relaxed as the tongues of many players. Coach McIlave even thanked all the supporters present in German.
