It's the 2022-23 Champions Hockey League group stage. Sparta Prague find themselves in Group A along with Aalborg Pirates, Luleå HF and Mikkelin Jukurit. In the draw Luleå came out of Pot 1, Jukurit Pot 2, Sparta Pot 3 and Aalborg Pot 4. Two gamedays have already transpired, and presently Luleå are in first place, Jukurit second, Aalborg third and Sparta fourth.

Today Sparta visit Aalborg Pirates, the 2021-22 Danish champions.

Aaborg Pirates go back to 1967 and have been champions of Denmark three times. They play at the 5,000 seat Sparekassen Danmark Isarena. They wear red.

In addition to winning the Danish league's 2021-22 regular season and playoffs, the Pirates finished third in the 2021-22 Continental Cup.

Last season Aalborg have a guy named Pierre-Olivier Morin from Trois-Rivières who has also played for Lewiston and Shawinigan of the QMJHL, UQTR in the OUA, and Cool FM 103.5 de St-Georges of the LNAH. He has returned to the LNAH and has signed with Sorel-Tracy.

Aalborg is an industrial town in the north of Jutland. Its most famous son is Skipper Clement, a 16th-century privateer and the leader of a peasant revolt, whose statue stands in the town now.
