Olle Liss Extends Rungsted Stay Through 2028

By IceHockeyMan Editorial Team | Published:

Story Summary

Olle Liss will remain with Rungsted Seier Capital until 2028, extending a stay that initially began on a short-term agreement running to the November international break.

The forward has quickly established himself as an important attacking addition in Rungsted. Head coach Marcus Olsson highlighted Liss’s finishing, shot, puck protection and ability to create offensive opportunities, while also praising his contribution as a teammate.

Liss said he has settled well at the club and believes the team can show more than it has produced so far this season.

Key Facts

  • Olle Liss has agreed to continue with Rungsted Seier Capital until 2028.
  • Liss initially joined Rungsted on a short-term deal scheduled to run until the November international break.
  • Head coach Marcus Olsson described Liss as a high-class goalscorer with an outstanding shot.
  • Olsson said Liss is effective at protecting the puck and creating offensive chances.
  • Liss said he has enjoyed his time in Rungsted and is looking forward to what the team can achieve in the future.

IHM Discussion

The extension gives Rungsted continuity around a player the coaching staff clearly values for more than one attacking trait. Olsson’s assessment points to a scorer who can threaten from his shot but can also retain possession under pressure and help generate chances for others.

That combination has made the short-term signing a longer-term commitment. The club has also placed value on Liss’s presence away from the puck, with Olsson describing him as a positive and well-liked teammate. Liss’s own comments underline that he sees further scope for the side to improve over the remainder of the season.

Why It Matters

Rungsted have converted an initial temporary arrangement into a commitment through 2028, retaining a player identified by their head coach as a consistent offensive threat. Liss’s stated comfort at the club and the coach’s praise for his team contribution suggest both sides have found an early fit worth maintaining.

Rungsted and Sønderjyske face Final4 pressure

By IceHockeyMan Editorial Team | Published:

Story Summary

Rungsted Seier Capital and Sønderjyske meet in Rungsted with their Metal Final4 prospects under immediate pressure. The fixture is described as potentially the last opportunity for either side to keep its route to the Final4 weekend alive.

Both teams arrive after losing twice over the previous weekend. Victory is presented as essential for each club if it is to secure a place at the Final4 event.

Key Facts

  • Rungsted Seier Capital and Sønderjyske are scheduled to play in Rungsted.
  • The game is described as a potentially final chance for both teams to remain in contention for Metal Final4 qualification.
  • Both sides come into the fixture following two defeats over the previous weekend.
  • A win is described as necessary for either team to book its place at the Final4 weekend.

IHM Discussion

This is a straightforward high-pressure fixture: neither club has the benefit of arriving with momentum after the previous weekend. The important detail is not merely that both sides lost twice, but that the margin for recovery has narrowed to the point where a win is being framed as indispensable.

That makes the meeting a direct test of response. Rungsted Seier Capital have home surroundings, while Sønderjyske travel with the same stated need to halt a losing run.

Why It Matters

Metal Final4 places are valuable, and this fixture carries more than routine regular-season significance for the two teams involved. A third successive setback would leave the losing side without the stated route to the Final4 weekend, while the winner would keep that opportunity open.

Why It Matters

Robert Gertsen Leaves Rungsted for Personal Reasons

By IceHockeyMan Editorial Team | Published:

Story Summary

Robert Gertsen has left his position as Rungsted director, saying that the decision to stop was his own and was taken for private and personal reasons. His departure was made public in a press release and came as a surprise.

Gertsen had remained visible at the start of the season, including through Rungsted’s Media Day and club material. He did not provide further detail on the circumstances of his exit, but stressed his attachment to the club.

Key Facts

  • Robert Gertsen has left his role as Rungsted director.
  • Gertsen said he chose to stop for private and personal reasons.
  • His departure was announced publicly in a press release and was described as a surprise.
  • Gertsen had taken part in Media Day and appeared in Rungsted club articles at the beginning of the season.
  • Gertsen said he has a red deer tattoo on his upper arm as a sign of his commitment to Rungsted and the importance the club holds for him.

IHM Discussion

Gertsen’s comments present the departure as a personal decision rather than a public dispute with Rungsted. He offered no further explanation beyond the private and personal reasons he cited, so the circumstances should not be read beyond what he has said.

His recent public involvement makes the announcement notable. Gertsen had continued to represent the club at the beginning of the season, yet his remarks make clear that his affection for Rungsted remains intact despite leaving the director’s post. The tattoo he referenced was presented as a personal symbol of that bond.

Why It Matters

The change removes Rungsted’s director from his post at a point when he had still been publicly involved with the club. For supporters and those around the organisation, Gertsen’s statement provides the central clarification available: he says the departure was his choice and related to private and personal matters.

It also separates his exit from his feelings towards Rungsted. Gertsen explicitly underlined how much the club means to him, rather than suggesting that his departure reflected a lack of commitment.

Mini Q&A

Why did Robert Gertsen leave Rungsted?

Gertsen said he chose to stop for private and personal reasons. He did not give further public detail.

Did Gertsen indicate how he feels about Rungsted?

Yes. He said the club means a great deal to him and pointed to a red deer tattoo on his upper arm as a symbol of his commitment to Rungsted.

Rungsted’s defence earns praise in Aalborg game

By IceHockeyMan Editorial Team | Published:

Story Summary

David Grubak and Rungsted‘s defence were singled out for strong work in Sunday afternoon’s game against Aalborg at Sparekassen Danmark Arena.

The match was also captured by photographer Peter Mosgaard from rinkside, with a selection of images documenting the action in Aalborg. The available account places the emphasis firmly on Rungsted’s defensive effort and Grubak’s contribution during the game.

Key Facts

  • David Grubak was praised for his performance against Aalborg.
  • Rungsted’s defensive play was also highlighted as strong.
  • The game took place at Sparekassen Danmark Arena on a Sunday afternoon.
  • Photographer Peter Mosgaard captured images from rinkside during the match.

IHM Discussion

The emphasis on Grubak and the defensive group gives Rungsted a clear positive from the visit to Aalborg. Defensive recognition can reflect the collective work required across a game: protecting dangerous areas, maintaining structure and supporting one another when play moves towards the net.

For Grubak, being named alongside the team defence is notable because it places his display within a wider group performance rather than treating it as an isolated contribution. Rungsted’s work without the puck was the defining theme of the afternoon as presented here.

There is no indication that the praise was restricted to one particular spell of the game. Instead, the focus is on the general quality of Rungsted’s defensive showing in Aalborg, with Grubak a prominent individual within that account.

Why It Matters

Rungsted’s defensive performance is the central hockey takeaway from the game in Aalborg. Praise for both Grubak and the defensive unit points to a collective effort, with individual recognition tied to the wider work of the team.

The photographs from the arena provide a visual record of that meeting, while the on-ice assessment keeps attention on Rungsted’s defensive display rather than on a single attacking moment.

Robert Gertsen steps down as Rungsted director

By IceHockeyMan Editorial Team | Published:

Story Summary

Rungsted director Robert Gertsen has resigned from his position with the Metal Ligaen club.

Rungsted Ishockey ApS said Gertsen will continue in the role throughout his notice period and assist with an orderly handover of the club’s affairs. The club’s shareholders will now focus on maintaining continuity in daily operations and creating the best possible basis for Rungsted’s further development.

The future structure of Rungsted’s leadership will be communicated at a later stage. Gertsen’s exit is the third departure involving a director among the nine clubs in Denmark’s top league only months into the season.

Key Facts

  • Rungsted director Robert Gertsen has chosen to resign from his role.
  • Gertsen will remain in post during his notice period.
  • He will assist with an orderly handover of Rungsted’s affairs.
  • Rungsted’s shareholders said their immediate focus is continuity in the club’s daily operations.
  • The club will provide a later update on the future organisation of its leadership.
  • Gertsen is the third director to leave a role among the nine Metal Ligaen clubs only months into the season.

IHM Discussion

The immediate message from Rungsted is one of continuity rather than a completed leadership change. Keeping Robert Gertsen in place during his notice period gives the club a stated handover process while its shareholders consider the next leadership structure.

There is no successor named and no timetable for a replacement. That leaves the present arrangement centred on maintaining day-to-day operations until Rungsted outlines its longer-term organisation.

Why It Matters

A director’s departure affects the club’s administrative leadership at a point when Rungsted is still in the early part of the Metal Ligaen season. The shareholders have explicitly identified operational continuity as their priority, while the future management set-up remains to be announced.

Mini Q&A

Why is Robert Gertsen leaving Rungsted?

Rungsted stated that Gertsen chose to resign from his position as director.

Will Robert Gertsen leave immediately?

No. He will continue in the role during his notice period and assist with the handover.

Has Rungsted named a new director?

No. The club said it will provide information on the future leadership organisation later.

What Comes Next

Rungsted has said it will later update on the future organisation of the club’s leadership. Until then, Gertsen remains director during his notice period and is due to support the handover.

Rungsted Seier Capital rename venue HeatSave Arena

By IceHockeyMan Editorial Team | Published:

Story Summary

Rungsted Seier Capital’s home venue has been renamed HeatSave Arena, replacing the former Concordium Arena name.

The Metal Ligaen club have introduced HeatSave as their new arena partner in an agreement that places the company’s name on the building used for home matches, partner events and other club activities. The arrangement is presented as extending beyond venue branding, with both parties setting out plans for HeatSave to take an active role in the club’s business network and wider community around the team.

HeatSave director Claus Rønnow said the company sees potential in what Rungsted Seier Capital represent both on and off the ice. He described the partnership as an opportunity to become more involved with the club and its established network of partners.

Key Facts

  • Rungsted Seier Capital’s home venue is now called HeatSave Arena.
  • The new name replaces Concordium Arena.
  • HeatSave has become Rungsted Seier Capital’s arena partner.
  • The venue will host the club’s home matches, partner events and other activities under the HeatSave Arena name.
  • Claus Rønnow, director of HeatSave, said the company wants to be an active part of the club and its partner network.
  • Robert Gertsen, director of Rungsted Seier Capital, described the arrangement as a major commercial agreement for the club.
  • HeatSave is set to take part in the club’s networking activities, events and matches.

IHM Discussion

Arena naming agreements are highly visible commercial arrangements because they connect a partner not only to the building itself, but to the recurring rhythm of a hockey club’s life. At Rungsted Seier Capital, the HeatSave name will be present when supporters arrive for home games and when businesses gather through the club’s partner activities.

HeatSave’s stated aim is to meet other businesses, exchange experience and pursue new connections through the club’s network. That makes the agreement a platform for regular engagement around Rungsted Seier Capital rather than a passive branding placement.

For the club, the change from Concordium Arena to HeatSave Arena gives its commercial environment a new focal point. Gertsen’s comments frame the deal as a sign of confidence in the organisation’s work, while HeatSave has said it wants to contribute to the community already built around the team.

Neither the financial terms nor the length of the agreement have been specified. The immediate confirmed change is the venue identity: Rungsted Seier Capital will play its home matches at HeatSave Arena.

Why It Matters

The arena name is one of the most consistently seen elements of a club’s commercial identity. It appears around every home fixture and also provides the setting for the business events that form part of Rungsted Seier Capital’s partner-network activity.

This agreement therefore links HeatSave to both the sporting and commercial sides of the club. Its stated participation in networking events, activities and matches means the partnership is intended to operate across the club calendar, not solely through the new name above the venue.

Mini Q&A

What is Rungsted Seier Capital’s arena now called?

The club’s home venue is now called HeatSave Arena.

What name has HeatSave Arena replaced?

HeatSave Arena replaces the former Concordium Arena name.

What does HeatSave’s agreement with Rungsted Seier Capital involve?

HeatSave is the club’s new arena partner and is set to participate in its networking activities, events and matches.

IHM Final View

HeatSave Arena is the new public identity of Rungsted Seier Capital’s home venue. The change replaces Concordium Arena and formalises HeatSave’s expanded role as arena partner, with the company also joining the club’s network and event activity. It is a commercial development centred on visibility, relationships and a continuing presence around the team’s home environment.

Rungsted welcome Rødovre for season’s first derby

By IceHockeyMan Editorial Team | Published:

Story Summary

Rungsted host Rødovre in the season’s first traditional derby, scheduled for 20:00 at Concordium Arena. Rungsted director Robert Gertsen said local derbies carry a special atmosphere, adding that meetings with Rødovre have ” a special aura”.

Key Facts

  • Match billed as the season’s first traditional fixture between Rungsted and Rødovre.
  • Kampstart (match start) listed as 20:00.
  • Venue named as Concordium Arena.
  • Robert Gertsen is identified as Rungsted’s director and is quoted in the preview.
  • Gertsen said local derbies have ” a special aura” and compared the feeling to Rungsted’s games when Herlev visit.

IHM Discussion

The preview puts the emphasis on the tradition and atmosphere surrounding the rivalry rather than tactical or roster detail. Gertsen noted that local games also carry a special feeling when Herlev visit, but described the meetings with Rødovre as having their own distinct aura. The fixture is therefore being framed as a significant early-season occasion for both sets of supporters.

Why It Matters

As the season’s first traditional meeting between the sides, the game gives Rungsted an early opportunity to set the tone in a longstanding local rivalry. Gertsen’s comments underline the fixture’s importance to the club’s identity and supporters.
