If your family enjoys hockey or wants to learn more about the sport, attending an EV Zug Women’s hockey game is a fun and memorable outing. The team, established just before the 2023/2024 season, quickly made history by winning the National League B championship and earning promotion to the top league. Their debut season also included winning the prestigious European Women’s Hockey League (EWHL) Euro Cup. Compared to the men’s team, the women’s games usually take place in the early afternoon rather than the evening, which makes it easier for families with young kids to attend. A match typically lasts around three hours—just the right amount of excitement for a family activity in Zug.
Tickets and Getting There
EV Zug Women’s hockey games take place at Bossard Arena, located within OYM Hall in the heart of Zug. Thanks to sponsorship from Zug Cantonal Bank, we received free tickets to a semi-final match—an excellent opportunity to introduce the kids to hockey for the first time. The energy in the arena was contagious, and our children loved joining the crowd to cheer for the home team. Regular tickets are reasonably priced at 15 CHF for adults, while kids under 18 can attend for free. You can purchase tickets at the stadium or conveniently online. Seating is open, allowing families to find a comfortable spot to enjoy the action.
Getting to Bossard Arena is simple by public transit—it’s about a 10-minute walk from Zug main train station. The team also offers a great perk: public transit to and from the game is free within the Zug Tariff Association starting three hours before face-off and up to two hours after the final whistle. For those arriving by car, “Parkhaus An Der Aa” provides a nearby parking option.
Dining and Snacks
The arena snack stands offer plenty of family-friendly food options, including hotdogs, bratwurst, Currywurst, chicken nuggets, fries, pretzels, and popcorn. Drinks are served in reusable cups with a small deposit—a sustainable touch that helps teach kids about environmental responsibility. If you prefer more variety before or after the game, Freiruum—a food hall just a five-minute walk away—features diverse street food options and a relaxed vibe.
