World Hockey Championships Innsbruck 2025

Three legends, one city.

In May, Innsbruck suddenly turned into a small hotspot for the global hockey community.

Jeremy Rupke (How To Hockey), Peter Lenes (Swaggy P) and Jesse Pollock (Bardown) came to town – three names every hockey fan knows, three completely different personalities, united by one thing: pure love for the game.

I had the chance to join them, help out, and – of course – capture everything on camera.

Between the rink, the old town and the mountains, the days felt like a mix of road trip, content marathon and hockey fan fever.

Jeremy – calm, analytical, always thinking in frames and ideas. Swaggy P – pure energy on skates, on the ice, or wherever he happened to land. And Jesse Pollock – the guy who can turn any moment into a scene, with that typical Canadian ease.

It was spontaneous, loud, funny, and real.

We filmed, shot, improvised – and caught what hockey is really about: community, motion, stories.

You usually see these guys only on your screen, so watching them live – and realizing they’re exactly as genuine as they seem – was something special.

World Hockey Championships –

more than a tournament

The World Hockey Championships (WHC) are not your average youth tournament.

Every year, they bring together teams from all over Europe and North America – different age groups, playing styles and mindsets, but one shared goal: to show what they’re made of.

For the past two years, I’ve been part of this amazing team – the guy behind the camera and screens. That means shooting photos and videos, creating stories and reels, designing graphics, schedules, and posts – basically everything that makes people see what’s going on here.

From early-morning games to late-night overtimes, it’s non-stop energy.

Parents cheering, scouts watching every move, players giving everything they have – and somewhere in between, I’m chasing that one shot that tells the whole story.

The WHC is organized chaos in the best possible way: international, professional, but still family-driven at its core. And for me, it’s a reminder why I love this job.

Big thanks to the whole WHC crew for the trust, to all players and coaches for their openness – and to Jeremy, Peter, and Jesse for a few unforgettable days full of hockey, humor, and pure passion for the game.
